New York - “Radio Pinko,” the New York flagship station of the Humorless Liberal Radio Network (HLRN) signed on the air today for the first time. The leftist network, the brainchild of Al Franken who is hot off his stunning success as a movie actor in the Stuart Smalley direct-to-video franchise, is an attempt to counter the influence of conservative talk show hosts Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and others.
The network will feature leftist agitprop and disinformation, Hootie and the Blowfish songs, Ben & Jerry’s commercials and lame attempts at humor in the style of the sketches Franken used to write for Saturday Night Live that always seemed to go on for ten minutes too long.
“It’s going to be an exciting time for humorless liberals,” said Franken to an early morning press conference. “We’re gonna rock you off your Birkenstocks.”
Although subject to change, the following programs are slated for the HLRN’s weekday lineup:
6-10am - Grumpy with Garofalo Gen-X unfunny girl Janeane Garofalo whines and complains about George Bush and former boyfriend Ben Stiller during morning drive time
