4. Eric is tearing bush to shreds...

He is exposing all the myths surrounding bush, and doing a fine job of it. LOL, he has 'fire in the belly this moring', and it is a pleasure to watch.

So far the great line was, "I think it would be a great boon for the world if bush lost re-election". Yes, Eric it would be a boon for the world.

10. I'm now an Eric groupie

I've been reading him for years. But this is the first time I caught him on TV. Wow! I love a liberal who is fierce. He was wonderful. And he was the perfect combatant for the CSPAN Bushies whose only response is: Bush is a wonderful man. That's it. Alterman didn't let any of the talk-radio trash talk land. He was on the offensive. Those poor callers couldn't react. He asked for more than "Bush is a good man" speak. He wanted facts. He really set a guy straight who had a spin going on Bush's absence from the Alabama National Guard. Kudos to Alterman on a job well done. Wish he'd been at the Academy Awards.
