So that Air America radio "network" with Al Franken and his shortsightedly titled "The O'Franken Factor" debuts today.

A year ago when the idea was first proposed, Harry Shearer recorded "The Gore Room" an imagined liberal talk show with Al Gore as host and Al Franken as sidekick.

Harry Shearer's recorded skits exhibit a level of technical wizardry that's always interesting even if the bit isn't all that funny. In this case, "The Gore Room" is almost too realistic to be funny, but it manages. If you'd like, you can listen to it now.
