Ed Schultz show

[realFedUp]

I hope Ed doesn't have a coronary on
air...america now.

hey Ed, let's move on.

[realFedUp]

1. Going to talk about equal pay for women and men

When was the last time that the Prez and
Congress last talked about the difference
in pay for men and women doing the same job?

DeLay and lots more...
Will he talk about the new Pope?

[realFedUp]

9. Senator Patty Murray on Ed show now

Paycheck Fairness Act introduced today
in Senate...
gads, real legislation still trying to
get through this Congress.

[realFedUp]

10. yeah, what ever happened to the ERA anyway....

my comment

[quinnox]

2. I'm going to listen

I disagree, I hope Ed rips MoveOn again

[loveable liberal]

5. moveon did something stupid. Everyone does..

They only chose one democrat to rip. They should have ripped all of them who voted for that bill. I support Ed and I support MoveOn. Nothing wrong with making mistakes, nothing wrong with calling them on it..

[tishaLA]

18. I disagree.

I think MoveOn did something smart by holding the House Minority Whip accountable for not keeping party unity and kowtowing to the $300K he received from credit card companies. Ed takes it as a personal affront that MoveOn ran an ad against Hoyer. Oh well. He, a recent convert to the Democratic Party and a reasonably conservative one at that, seems to think the D after a name is more important than standing up for middle and working class families. I don't. I think that bankruptcy bill is a terrible piece of legislation and I don't, pace Hoyer's statements on Schultz's show, think that because of "misinformation" about the bill. I think it's terrible legislation precisely because I know what it contains.

Oh and I do like Schultz by and large.

3. it's hard to get the volume down low enough to tolerate his shrieking

but I'm hoping he'll tone it down in an hour or so. :rant:

[realFedUp]

4. I think he just made the transition

hope he takes an aspirin for his heart in the meantime :-)

[Drewskie]

14. health

I also sometimes wonder about the guy's health... and Malloy too. God those guys get fired up and yell.

I like it when he has Murray and Boxer on... they are two of his better guests.

[jean]

15. these guys need some cal/mag supplements to r-e-l-a-x - - -

particularly those cardiac arteries and muscles! Don't seize up on us guys! We need you! :patriot:

[realFedUp]

6. talking about an ABC announcer deal

I forgot to read the sports pages today :-)

[realFedUp]

7. Terry in SF

Re: "Why The Liberals Can't Keep Air America From Spiraling In" by Brian C. Anderson April 18:

Mr. Anderson's negative rant sounded like every other conservative commentator or radio talk show host. That is, reckless manipulation of facts and a large dose of truth stretching.

First, it is not fair to compare conservative pundit Bill Bennett's talk show's success with that of Air America. There are several hundred conservative talk stations across the United States and for Bennett, an established name in conservative circles, to land on 124 of them, is not that big a deal. In order for Air America programming to be heard on any radio station, that station must first take the significant step of changing its format. Stations have switched from all-Caribbean formats (WLIB in NY) or all-sports (KTLK in LA) or nostalgia (KQKE in SF) in order to carry the Air America programming.

Getting more than 50 radio stations to change everything they broadcast, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for the opportunity to carry Air America's programming is far more substantial an accomplishment than getting 124 right-wing radio stations to switch out one three-hour conservative talk show for another.

Anderson goes on to write, "In the liberal meccas of San Francisco and Los Angeles, Air America is doing lousier still." This statement is false. The truth is, in San Francisco KQKE AM has only been on the air six months and has shown steady increases in a market with the some of the strongest talk radio competition. In Los Angeles KTLK AM has not even been on the air for a full ratings period, thus making the "lousy" claim just a bit premature.

11. Veterans-send in your medical stories to Patty Murray

before the actual appropriations bill is written...

their Senators...or to Patty Murray.
