Imagine my pleasure this morning when I heard Stephanie reading the latest EarlG list of Romney position shifts with many giggles and a side of snark.
Ya done good, EarlG!

(5,917 posts)she has no original content. she ought to drink less and be more of an input to her own show isntead of just a director

(11,646 posts)She's not a political writer. Lighten up.
leftyohiolib
(5,917 posts)not fart jokes. she's in a political-talk line up. many of the guests she has on dont take a political side. im not interested in marilu henners disdain for carbohydrates,etc. or commercials for sexy-liberal tour.

(18,124 posts)great for the reason that I can laugh at the total insanity of our politics and nation, yet, know that this is serious business for all americans. She does not lose sight of that fact. Go Steph!

(70,715 posts)..... her show is driven by current events and so does read lots of quotes, news stories,
and articles and they are the life blood of her show and keep it fresh.

(14,524 posts)Steph has millions of fans across this Nation and sells out every venue she appears in.
And without doing what haters think she ought to.
I'm guessing she cares fuckall what you think and say.
Cheers.

(14,050 posts)Too bad her show disappeared from Boston radio
leftyohiolib
(5,917 posts)and a diffrence of opinion does not a hater make. i suppose i could make a statement about name calling but the would make me a hater.. right?

(14,524 posts)... call her show telling her the same BULLSHIT you did. Yet she's still filling EVERY venue and has a VERY successful radio program without ever caving to "do-it-like-I-want-you-to experts" such as yourself. She just shines them on and keeps doing what she does so very well. Don't like her style? Don't fucking listen. Problem solved.
leftyohiolib
(5,917 posts)has many people that come along with it and THEY are filling the venue and like she says "they bring the smarts and she brings the farts". she may be a terrific person and she may be entertaining but if you take away the entourage that supports everything she does .... well i'll leave it at that.

(14,524 posts)... your comedy tour hits town and I'll come see you do a better job.
Those that can, do.
Those that can't, critique. Some with nothing but cheap shots and bullshit.

(5,917 posts)comedians to tour with them.
those that cant come up with a counterpoint pull this crap.

(14,524 posts)... "addresses your point," but also exposes you for what you are, another anonymous, hapless internet critic that is jealous of the successes that someone else has had.
Have a nice life. bub bye.

(28,306 posts)I watch at least a portion of her show just about every weekday, and there's a hell of a lot of political content, every time. To characterize her show as being a bunch of fart jokes is just plain wrong.
leftyohiolib
(5,917 posts)generous warm-hearted person and i like her show just not so much her input. all the content i get that i like from the show is usually not from her. btw that charactorization of her show is from her, she'll be the first one to tell you that "they bring the smarts, she brings the farts". that's not my description.
oh and there is political content you just have to sit thru self promotional ads, her celebrity stack , stories about childhood toys she almost killed herself with, stories about max and fred, guests who wont talk politics.

(6,716 posts)to her Sexy Liberal Comedy show in Philly back in February. She was so drunk that we were embarrassed for her. Fugelsang and Sparks were good though.
nolabear
(42,022 posts)She's clearly not the fierce comedian that Fugelsang and Sparks are but she was great as a shepherd for the whole group. I think that's just how she works best.

(5,917 posts)before hal can finish his point she cuts him off to make some inane joke, very frustrating. love charley pierce as well
Or the belief that others don't have one. It's comedy. Topical comedy. Hence the need for topics.
Cleita
(75,480 posts)Obviously, you do not know much about the Stephie. She has one of the quickest wits around. I have been a fan of hers since her days debating Bay Buchanan on their show "Equal Time" about Clinton's penis back in the day. No one ever has had quicker and wittier comebacks that I have known since then, except maybe Gore Vidal. Just because she borrows from other wits, like they all do because they are doing daily shows, doesn't make it any less so.
btw the drinking thing is a gag, like her future husbands joke. You should know that if you every listened to her and weren't reading a criticism of her off a piece of paper someone handed to you.
leftyohiolib
(5,917 posts)i've listened to her for years. the show has become everyone but steph on her show. she has several people on her show everyday to carry the show. she gets guests on and reads what they wrote back to them. many guests dont have any political views so why have them on in the political talk format. the show was becoming more of an info-mercial for the sexy comedy tour.
steph is a quick-witted comedian but i tune to the station for political talk and for the most part that's not her show.
remember oliver,- her back up AND her blackup what happened to them ?, when she was late to her show was locked out of the bldg and said fuck on the air. sanchez from montebello.i've listened to her a long time
Webster Green
(13,905 posts)I love the show. Wouldn't miss it in the morning with my coffee.
I think the references to her wine drinking are likely exaggerated, and I seriously doubt that it interferes with her job. She sounds pretty sharp to me.
It's comedy, but they also do a great job at shredding wing-nuts. What's not to like?

(18,186 posts)Wish I could get some real radio rather than the evil Rightwing Teabaggers that are the only talkers in TN.
I'm on dialup so can't even stream the good stuff.
But WTG EarlG! He's a genius, I tells ya'

(536 posts)and get ATT 6MB DSL for $24.99/mo and forgo cable b/c I stream MSNBC and Stewart/Colbert and more. Dial-up is usually around $10, so the extra $15 would seem worth it. Yes/No?
Tsiyu
(18,186 posts)but someday soon, I hope.
You just gotta laugh at all the TN Rightwing Wingnut TaLK hOSTS whining about "media bias."
TN Talk Radio is nothing but HOURS AND HOURS of "media bias."
But when you have Jesus in your pants, it's all good!
