“a federal prosecutor” OMG. Tell me he was just a summer intern.

Before Monica Goodling I never would’ve believed this, but now it only makes me throw-up a little bit in my mouth.

The good news is that Matthews took on one of these guys. He should do it more often. More good news is that YouTube will enable millions more to see it.

Tony Kornheiser couldn’t be anything but a vast improvement over Dennis Miller, but I don’t get cable so can’t really comment.

I remember when Dennis Miller was on “Monday Night Football” and one of the references that people did not get was “He dragged his feet like Neville Chamberlain”. This has been another of the occasional glimpses I get into a scary ocean of ignorance out there.

Shouting, screaming, babbling. . . guy’s got everything a conservative talk show host needs to succeed. Oh, and nice hair, too.

“He was an appeaser!”

Sweet fancy Moses.

And that headline is so true. James should have had his face painted and a giant Fathead of Bush behind him.

There is much to be said for the “shriek and repeat” school of political debate. Lincoln should have tried it on Douglas: “Slavery! Slavery! Slavery!” (Screamed at an ever-rising pitch, with glazed, bulging eyes, gaping mouth).

From the RW radio website.

Ingraham takes back the phrase “Power to the People”

Jesus, you can’t even parody this kind of material.

And people have to watch the clip, the transcript can’t do it justice.
I don’t know if that was Roid Rage or just old-fashioned RW Hype & Ignorance Meets Stupidity.

Radio Rube was all shouty and no substance. Funny, though.

Now, if only someone would do a similar job on Cliff May.

As someone said, Grub first, then ethics.

Nice to see someone knows Bertolt Brecht. “Erst die Fressen. Dann die Moral.”

The following was Brecht’s final poem. Written after 20+ years of fighting against fascism with words. For the failed idealists of the world…

And I always thought: the very simplest words
Must be enough. When I say what things are like
Everyone’s heart must be torn to shreds.
That you’ll go down if you don’t stand up for yourselves.
Surely you see that.
