I like Meghan McCain. She is a refreshing change from Liz Cheney, Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin. BUT she got a bit too clever with Paul Begala on the Bill Mahar show last Friday. She was trying the old GOP ploy of accusing Obama of blaming the previous administration for our country’s destruction. Paul Begala said that they don’t blame the rats for even MORE. Then Meghan made some petty remark about not being born when Regan was doing EXACTLY the same thing for eight years. Begala then proceeded to paddle her ass with one sentence. Then she pouted and tried a couple more smart ass comments, but it was too late. Check it out HERE.

I would like to offer Ms Mccain a few tips. First, take some elocution lessons and lose the “vally girl” speech pattern. Second, don’t mix it up with smart people, stick with the “View” and crap like that where you can get away with that kind of bullshit un-challenged. And finally, just stick with young republicans, they are stupid and malleable.

I really like her, but we’re not ALL stupid. We don’t do the evil shit YOUR party does, so lose the ” both sides do it” bullshit. I hope she CAN affect some positive change on her side, but lying and pouting when she gets her ass paddeled ain’t the right way to DO it.

I listen to Ed Schultz occasionally. I don’t watch his show on MSNBC because it’s a waste of time. At the end of todays show, a caller talked about his disdain for the dog torturer Michael Vick. All the caller was TRYING to get across is that although the NFL has the RIGHT to let Vick the dog torturer play in their league, it would be classless if they did. Then Ed , the gun-totin’ meat eatin’ “leftie” launched into the caller telling him that (apparently Ed thinks Vick is some kind of victim here) he wants to keep “prosecuting” Vick and didn’t he have the right to make a living? Poor guy, he did his time, did everything the law demanded of him and now everyone wants to keep him from making a living. What an asshole. Vick AND “Eddie”.

Michael Vick is a god damned monster who tortured dogs to death by hanging them, drowning them and throwing them into a wall. HE is one sick person. When Whoopie Goldberg tried to defend him by bringing up “cultural” issues I wretched and decided that SHE is stupid and trying her best to make excuses for his total lack of humanity. Now here’s Ed doing the same thing. I don’t know, maybe with whoop, it’s a racial thing. With Ed, I guess you can take the boy out of Virginia, but you can’t take the red off of his neck. (BTW, I tuned in briefly to the “Ed” show and there he is, interviewing some reich-winger AGAIN!!!!) HERE’S an account of what this “super athelete” did. Don’t read it if you care about animals. And don’t listen to Ed if you like animals. Jesus, I wonder if Ed has ever shot a “gun-shy” huntin dog?

She’s BACK!! The best podcast is KTLK HERE. Welcome back Randi,you were missed.

this is what they got

And Virginia Foxx

And of course the “lovable” Michelle Bachman

That’s it. That’s all they got. Teabags, old bags and nutbags. AND a Dick.

It’s hard to believe that these people were ever thought of as serious leaders. But they were. We can only hope the American people are paying attention and have long memories.

Randi Rhodes will be returning in a BIG way on Monday May 11th. She is being syndicated by Premier Radio Networks and Clear Channel the powerhouse of talk radio. Sure they also do business with the likes of oxi-rush, hannity and schmuck beck, BUT they are the largest and most successful radio company in the country.

She has been missed by her fans and we welcome her back with open arms and ears. I think that her being syndicated by real radio professionals will FINALLY afford her the opportunity to just do her show without having to watch her back all the time. I don’t think the CEO of CC will wind up in a rubber room going blblblblbl on his lips with his finger. I don’t think the CEO of CC will fire his top talent because she does a comedy routine and I don’t think the CEO of CC will provide a bunch of crap NObody wants to listen to. I also don’t think the CEO of CC will stop paying his talent and then beg for money as those who bring in ratings drift to other syndicators.

This has been awhile in coming but I think it will be worth the wait. Randi is a professional radio talk show host and has paid her dues in full and got her bones. She has been screwed like a drunk prom date by the “progressives” such as they are. Oh and she will be broadcasting from DC, right where she has always belonged. Good luck and GAWD speed Randi, and don’t change a thing.

Randi Rhodes disappeared without a trace some time ago and since then,there has been a lot written about her. There have been “alerts” from time to time but nothing of any real substance. I even posted a conversation I had with a station owner who had talked directly to her. Nothing. Every little hint, from whatever source claims there will be a statement/news/ announcement……..soon. *sigh*

Her detractors can go to hell, I like her show, always have. She is a radio pro, unlike the stable at AAR whatever is LEFT of them. So say something Randi. Tell ME. I won’t tell ANYone. Are you coming back? G’head, tell me, it’ll be our secret.

It all started with rick santeli’s cruel and WRONG statements on the financial genius channel CNBC. Good old smirky,smart ass rick suggested that our global meltdown was the fault of people who became the victims of the financial leeches LIKE rick. The derivatives, credit default swaps and the complete deregulation of our financial system…..that was OUR fault. NOW the banks, insurance giants and brokerage houses all need trillions of OUR money to keep them in (monkey?) business and that’s OUR fault!

So what’s a desperate rat to do? Why call for tea parties of course. They meet in groups across the country to protest all this spending. This is nothing more than a bunch of perpetually pissed off reich-wingers getting together to shake their collective fists at the guy (PRESIDENT Obama) who is doing his best to fix the mess the neo-cons left us. So rick, where was all the indignant outrage when all this was happening? Why weren’t you morons out in the streets when bush and these devious bastards were SCREWING us? Simple answer is, they didn’t CARE because the bubble was making them rich at OUR expense.

I have a funny feeling that these “patriotic” events are going to be attended by the same people, and have the same atmosphere as those wonderful sarah palin rallies. “Terrorist! Kill him” they all shouted in their racist scumbag excitement.

These kind of gingrich-inspired events are usually planned by people who are so fixated on their hatred, they don’t get around to doing their homework or research. So they call themselves “teabaggers” huh? Wiki has a definition of “teabagging” HERE. Seems that that’s exactly what the leeches in hedge funds and wall street  have been doing to the whole world for the last eight years and santeli whining about all this is like a stupid little kid asking “Who shit my pants?”.

I have been unable to get ANY new information as to if /when Randi is coming back to us. There is a complete vacuum of buzz about her anywhere. I am getting a bit nervous about whether or not She’s going to be able to pull this off. Of course the “tolerant” liberal Hartmann fans don’t think her voice is necessary because Thom is so smart. OK. Given the choice of hearing her assertive voice and of course her unique penchant for backing up everything she says, or Thom’s stammering almost shy style, “debating” the rats ,(like the ill-fated Nancy Skinner) and daily two hundred year old quotes, give me the woman everytime. Jesus, I can’t tell ya the amount of heat I get for writing less than enthusiastic things about Mr Hartmann. I am told to stop berating liberal hosts. THEN in the next breath, they tell me what a no-class skank Randi is. Jesus.

Progressive talk is in a nose-dive. The business practices of AAR AND NOVAM seem designed on purpose to make progressive talk fail. Of course the economy is partially to blame, ALL radio is heading for a cliff. So in response we slam our own hosts. And today I heard Peter B Collins announce that next week will be his last. He’s just too smart (but not as smart as Hartmann) and even tempered I guess. So Randi the assertive voice AND Peter B. are gone. I HOPE Randi comes back, and I also hope that Mr Collins can find his way back as well. As I keep saying over and over again, there HAS to be a variety of progressive voices out there. Even Nancy Skinner. I’ll keep looking for information about Randi, and keep calling my contacts. I am waiting for liberal businessmen and the Democratic party to wake up, but I’m NOT holding my breath.

DICK award winner rick santelli called for “tea parties”. They are supposed to happen today. MSNBC apparently agrees and has posted all the locations where these leisure-class warriors will present thier anti-Obama case. Contessa Brewer is having hissy-fits in support of this “populist” revolution. She states that “millions” of people are outraged by our president’s effort to keep millions of Americans in their homes by providing the homeowners caught up in the FAILED banks miserable attempt to seize them an alternative to re-fi.

Contessa interviewed some leisure-class maggot in North Carolina named Joyce Krawiec who is an organizer of one of these things. She was asked if the foreclosure crisis has had an effect on HER neighborhood, of course she said it hadn’t, not in HER neighborhood. You can listen to this interview HERE. Hope you have a strong stomach. MS Brewer brought up “class-warfare” on her show a couple times this morning. SHE, santelli,the vast majority of media has been a HUGE cheerleader for the “enronization” of our entire economy. They report the worst economic stats in decades and then with the next breath, sneer and jeer our president’s attempt to stop the bleeding. Jesus, how stupid do they think we ARE??

My initial reaction to these “elite-populist” gatherings was to greet them with pitchforks, torches and sharp rocks. But I’m a liberal, so I would suggest meeting them with a barrage of wet tea bags and forclosure notices. As for the pretty-faced “journalists” like Ms Brewer, get a chat show and leave the news reporting to the adults.

I have it from good authority that Randi Rhodes will be back on the air soon. Hal Ginsberg principal owner/general manager from KRXA 540 AM Monterey California called and Talked to her last Friday and she told him that he could tell his listeners that she will be back and better than ever. I hope she gets a better syndication deal with a real RADIO company this time. SOME folks are turned off by Randi’s style. Not me. I like her and I’m not ashamed to say so. Like the post I wrote (and got cornholed by nancy skinner the fox face) there are hosts for all tastes. There is only one host whom I don’t care for of all the liberal hosts on the air and that IS nancy.

Stay tuned.
