He looks like a f*ckin' idiot. It's quite appropos.

[SuzeQuze]

Is his hair naturally black? Are those his teeth? He seriously looks rediculous smiling in a mugshot. What a pompous SOB.

[dissention]

Who's that? Walter Huston?

Yes, as a matter of fact, it is. I hear he serenaded the photographer with "September Song" while he slicked back his hair in preparation for the shot.

never showed as many teeth in his promo shots as this Mr.Con-a-tician does in his "mugshot".

He's not as shiny as he usually is, though.

[David]

Yes, as a matter of fact, it is. I hear he serenaded the photographer with "September Song" while he slicked back his hair in preparation for the shot.NO IT ISN"T!! It's Tom DeLayo or something. I confuse his name with Don DeLillo.

Don't blaspheme so! Don Delillo is a genius and should never be confused with that f*cktard!! :laugh:

Btw, nice photo of DeLillo. You know, he looks sickly in person...

With a little bit tweaking and fine tuning, "Valparaiso" could very well be about George W. Bush.

[gldstwmn]

Is his hair naturally black?

I swear it's a toupee. He's such a reptile.

It was a joke. Seeing how one of their broadcasters called for the assassination of Bush.

And yes I do think it is a bad thing. That place, which is going under fast (pretty much in financial hell if Soros and others do not continue to donate) does nothing but cater to the few left-wing extremists who listen to it. Most main stream Democrats would fall over dead if they heard half of what is said on there.

That's bull****. You wouldn't know what a mainstream Democrat is if they jumped up and bit you in the ass.

Well there sure isn't many around here!

What did you do, jump off the republican wagon and straight onto the "I'm-so-left-wing-now-I-hate-anything-conservative" one?

It was a pre-recorded comedy skit on Randi Rhodes about seniors in Florida arming themselves to attack Shrub over social security cuts.

You would love Randi Rhodes and Mike Malloy.

I couldn't possible listen. Politics makes me too angry. I have taken drastic steps to reduce the things in my life that make me that wound up. At this point, I am just happy I don't have a gun. Everyone is so convinced they are right.

That being said, I am sure they are funny, and probably right on target.:wavey:

Randi Rhodes (http://weblog.theviewfromthecore.com/2004_05/ind_003570.html) has a past for using such rhetoric (http://www.nydailynews.com/05-12-2004/news/politics/story/192675p-166266c.html)

May 2004 (http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/5/12/153908.shtml)

Comparing Bush and his family to the Corleones of "Godfather" fame, Air America host Randi Rhodes reportedly unleashed this zinger during her Monday night broadcast: "Like Fredo, somebody ought to take him out fishing and phuw. "
Rhodes then imitated the sound of a gunshot.

In "Godfather II," Fredo Corleone is executed by brother Michael at the end of the film

And of course we have our wonderful sympathetic profiles of Rhodes, as the Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A3763-2004Sep7?language=printer) did last fall. See how the writer nonchalantly mentions the skit. Now, compare that with the fate of conservative talk show hosts punished or canned (http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2005/1/5/232024.shtml)for controversial speech.

:lol:

Of course you are.

Seriously, it is far beyond that. As strident as you are :shocked: you are actually capable of having a dialogue, and you are not so didactic as to be unable to see another point of view and learn something you hadn't previously taken into consideration. Granted, it rarely happens :laugh: .
This is true mostly because you are well read and difficult to surprise. You have researched many of the subjects you are passionate about. The positions you take are rarely based on knee jerk emotional response or adherence to a large platform of ideas to which you blindly cling. Your logic is, well, logical. And therefore, it can be swayed with logic and facts.

[wondergirl9847]

Why do people want others to die? :distress: I don't care for Pres. Bush any more than ya'll, but I don't want the man to die.

I hope our next President can turn the country around.

I suppose that's different from Coulter pondering whether we should "impeach or assassinate" Clinton, eh? ;)

Well, you have my sympathies.

[Brwn_eyes0511]

And while we are on the topic of Air America, let's look at how lousy their past ratings have been.

- Air America’s flagship station, WLIB-AM in New York, garnered a 1.2 share in the latest quarter (http://www.radioandrecords.com/RRRatings/DetailsPage.aspx?MID=184&RY=2005&RQ=1&MP=1&OTHER=2&MN=New%20York&MS=NY&MR=1&12P=15283100&UP=2/28/2005&SU=CM&BPER=17.5&HPER=19.1&OPER=&NSD=3/28/2005&CE=0), down 0.1 from the year-ago period. By comparison, WABC-AM, New York's leading conservative station, garnered a 3.8 share, up 0.1 from the year-ago period. WOR-AM, another conservative station, posted a 2.1 share, down 0.1 from the year-earlier period.

- Air America’s Boston station, WKOX-AM, got a tiny 0.6 share in the latest quarter (http://www.radioandrecords.com/RRRatings/DetailsPage.aspx?MID=35&RY=2005&RQ=1&MP=1&OTHER=2&MN=Boston&MS=MA&MR=9&12P=3878000&UP=3/1/2005&SU=CM&BPER=6.1&HPER=6.1&OPER=&NSD=3/29/2005&CE=0), compared to a 4.3 share at WTKK-FM and a 4.0 share at WRKO-AM, both of which are conservative.

- Air America’s San Diego station, KLSD-AM, got a 1.9 share (http://www.radioandrecords.com/RRRatings/DetailsPage.aspx?MID=227&RY=2005&RQ=1&MP=1&OTHER=2&MN=San%20Diego&MS=CA&MR=17&12P=2483900&UP=3/1/2005&SU=CM&BPER=5.7&HPER=23.9&OPER=&NSD=3/29/2005&CE=0), up from 1.5 in the year-ago quarter. A respectable performance. By comparison, KOGO-AM, San Diego's conservative station, garnered a 5.5 share, up from 5.2 in the year-earlier period.

- Air America’s Philadelphia affiliate, WHAT-AM, garnered a 0.8 market share in the latest quarter (http://www.radioandrecords.com/RRRatings/DetailsPage.aspx?MID=198&RY=2005&RQ=1&MP=1&OTHER=2&MN=Philadelphia&MS=PA&MR=6&12P=4334000&UP=3/1/2005&SU=CM&BPER=19.4&HPER=4.7&OPER=&NSD=3/29/2005&CE=0), down 0.1 from the year-earlier period. By comparison, Philadelphia's conservative station, WPHT-AM, posted a 4.1 market share, up smartly from 3.2 in the year-earlier period.

- In Providence, Maloney reports, ratings at WHJJ-AM plunged after it replaced its conservative line-up with Air America, from a 3.5 share of the 12 and older audience to a 2.6 share. Meanwhile, Maloney says Providence's conservative station, WPRO-AM, “saw a surge during the survey period from a 4.4 to a 5.1 audience share.”

I'm sure some of Air America's supporters will point to particular shows that are successful with particular demographic subgroups. But so what if Al Franken is beating Rush Limbaugh among left-handed male eskimos between the ages of 35 and 54? The Arbitron numbers leave no doubt about the general trend: Air America is no match for conservative talk radio. Even in San Diego, where Air America is doing decently, its ratings are only a little more than one third that of the conservative competition.

In the past, Air America's defenders could argue with some justification that its low ratings were the inevitable result of starting from square one. But Air America's flagship station, WLIB-AM, has now been on the air for a full year. As Maloney suggests, it is no longer credible to blame the station's mediocre performance on the fact that it is new:

WLIB has now had a full year, a generous amount of time in broadcasting, to build an audience and figures are still flat compared with the previous niche Caribbean format the station featured. Often in radio that would mean imminent cancellation, but backers continue to be so noisy, they have generated enough industry hype to sustain poor performance a tad bit longer....
My contention is that if liberal talk radio can't find an audience in New York City, it certainly doesn't have a chance in San Antonio, Reno, Fresno and other places now gaining Air America stations that have small "progressive" populations.

In April...

Brian Maloney takes a look (http://radioequalizer.blogspot.com/2005/04/how-much-more-time-do-they-need.html)at Air America's dismal performance in the most recent Arbitron ratings, which were released last night (April 25):

[In New York City,] WLIB's tiny 1.2 audience share, for all listeners 12 and older, is the same as for Fall 2004. The audience is actually smaller now than when the station first flipped to the liberal talk format from Caribbean programming.
And the station ranks a whopping 24th place overall.

On Long Island, a distinct radio market, Air America's WLIB dropped again, to take 31st place overall.

Don't believe any of the leftist spin, there's no way to dispute this factual information. If I seem irritated here, it's because the dishonesty from the Air America supporters has just become tiresome.

KTLK's general manager wrote to the LA Times, insisting more time was needed to see where his station was headed. But so far, still no growth for the station: it held a flat, miniscule 0.3 share of all listeners 12 and older in the Los Angeles market.

Drop any lower than that and a station becomes too small to show up in the ratings at all.



My question is...who is listening to this station?

I can think of at least one more prominent conservative who has called for (and aslo prayed for) the assassination of someone with whom he did not agree.
