Air America star Al Franken had a meltdown Friday night while accepting the Freedom of Speech Award at Talkers Magazine's New Media Seminar, before being forced to leave the stage by the event's sponsor. The liberal yakker launched into a 20 minute tirade against his conservative colleagues, taking shots at Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly and Bill Bennett, according to WWRL host Steve Malzberg, who witnessed the ugly outburst. "It was the most bizarre thing I've seen in a long time," Malzberg told NewsMax. "Franken was as obnoxious and arrogant as could be." After blasting the top talent in his industry, Franken took on the war in Iraq - dissecting a report on a visit to the troops by fellow talk host Rusty Humphries. As the Air America host droned on, the audience grew restless, with some shouting for Franken to "hurry up." But according to the New York Post's John Mainelli, Franken wouldn't budge. "It's freedom of speech . . . . I have about two pages left," he shot back.

*Why when a liberal starts to rant about topic they don't understand, I start to fall asleep* Thank God I was not there to listen to this*
