Subject: RE: BS: New speculations on VP and cabinet
Well I'm guessing that if one doesn't have cable/satellite, one probably doesn't have the internet...some exceptions, of course.
Jack, you certainly know my political proclivities, but believe it or not, I don't listen to Conservative pundits all the time.. In fact, I regularly listen to, and participate when I can get in, to a local talk show hosted by a left leaning host. During the hours of dark when KGO out of San Francisco comes south I listen to a host (neither a fan of the current president, the Republican nominee or the War), and on weekends John Rothmann, also left leaning. These are all literate, issue oriented (as opposed to personal attacks Air America type hosts often engage in) talk shows. Rothmann, by the way, is the co-author of a book about the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, "Icon of Evil", which I'm looking forward to reading. [Perhaps your Missus would like to read it too, and we can discuss it. Just a thought.]
I do listen to two nationally syndicated conservative talk show most days, but hardly ever the 'Big Two or Three', and assorted other shows as time permits.
I don't watch the cable shows much, because they're usually looking for sound bites, a method of opinion I don't find useful. I do especially avoid the Countdown show, and didn't know Scarborough was still on the air. I also avoid Mr. Vacuous, Larry King.
So tell me which Conservative talk shows do you listen to, Jack? What's the fun of listening only to folks who parrot your preconceived ideas?
