Official "Guy James Show" thread--Please keep kicked. Pubbie love tonight

[BeachBuckeye]

Yes, we have some "Pubbie" love letters to read to you tonight. They are in rare form this week.

We've got lots to talk about including Bush's "wonderful" press conference performance:) Jeezus, could Elmer Fudd have been any worse? Do you think he was wired? I do!

And of course we have the filibuster fight, Jeff Gannon, the economic news, Tom DeLay, and a whole lot more.

Call in with your views. 888-602-7500, 7501, 7502, 7503, 7504
Or, tune in locally at 1240AM in Ft. Myers Florida or 1270WNOG in Naples, Florida.

And if you can, please feed the piggy bank. Its getting VERY lean!

5. I am here.

I am here Guy, just getting situated in front of the computer and listening to "Ring of Fire" on AAR.

4. The presser

Guy, et al. I found this from Liberal Oasis. If Bush is Elmer Fudd then the presser told the world it is lame-duck season and not wabbit season.

From Liberal Oasis

After last night’s press conference, it appears he’s quacking much earlier than he thought.

SNIP

... if you’re going to demand an hour of the public’s TV time in order to regain relevance, you better have something relevant to say.

Bush didn’t.

He only came in with a wisp of new news, an overt embrace of Social Security benefit cuts, something the White House has signaled for some time.

Otherwise, it was a lot of talking points rehash.

http://www.liberaloasis.com/archives/042405.htm#042905

From this, we should not celebrate the end of Bush. In fact, we now live in more dangerous times. Both the Senate and the House are being controlled by new-cons who are arguably more dangerous to the constitution than Dub-ya ever was. Just thought I would mention as something to chew on.

8. I'm here for a little while.

I've been racing back and forth, doing 1800 mile round trips the last month, with little computer time available. My computer is packed, and destined to be that way for at least another week. Then the unpacking, making sure I have internet access, etc.; I'm on a borrowed computer, and it took me awhile to get the stream working from this one. It's a little choppy from here.

I did get a chance to listen to archives last week while I was packing, the day before I packed my computer!

I don't think I can call from here; I don't think they'll want me tying up both the computer and the phone. But I'm here anyway, listening 800 or so miles north of my previous home, while all of my things are enroute, and my new place, another 45 miles north, waits to be ready. I'm in limbo, but listening in when I get the chance.

[BeachBuckeye]

10. whew!!

you've made me tired

[LWolf]

12. Probably not as tired as I've made me!

In another couple of weeks, I should be all settled into the new place and can go back to regularly scheduled programming ;-)

Meanwhile, some cyber backrubs would be good for the spasm I'm currently dealing with. Did I mention that I got my tv and printer all 800 miles north, and then promptly dropped them onto the driveway when unloading? I should have left it until the next day, after 14 hours on the road, but I needed the truck clear for another trip the next morning!

[krystine]

9. Bush's Accomplishments?

It is easier keeping track of his failures, but I need a better computer than the the one I have to keep track of them.

[LWolf]

11. Illegal immigration;

a hot topic.

I could argue either side of the fence, but the bottom line for me is:

Who is going to do the work they do, if they aren't here? Who benefits from cheap illegal labor the most? The employers, as far as I can see. As long as the right continues to beat the drums about those "freeloading" illegals, they have a strong incentive to raise dropout levels and decrease the standard of living for so many Americans. If we don't import cheap labor, we have to have a homegrown source for those jobs that can't be outsourced, and making sure that we keep a population of under-educated, desperate American citizens who will work for anything, and spend their blood on foreign soil for a chance for survival, is essential to them. You know that they're never going to support a living wage for Americans, let alone "imported" workers.

13. Don't Pass Gas .org?

I am sorry, but I had enough gas Thursday night.

[BeachBuckeye]

14. Hey.....anyone there?

man what a slow night

[krystine]

15. Sorry

With the last month, I think we are a little bit tired.

[jimshoes]

16. Checking in from Cleveland

Gloomy is what it is here. Lousy weather. Great show.

[krystine]

17. Jeff Gannon

The question is what happened when there was no press conference. My money is that he has been servicing Rove.

[krystine]

18. It was Scott McClelland

The story is that Scotty himself use to go to a gay bar in Austin, TX/ As a closet gay he use to let Gannon in.

[Dudley_DUright]

19. Just tuned in

I have been very busy grading with the end of the semester looming. I hope I have not missed Pubbie love.

[krystine]

21. You did not miss it.

No, you did not miss it. Still have not heard any GOPers defending Bush yet tonight.

[krystine]

20. Republicans on the Fence about Filibuster

Al Franken's blog posted those Republicans opposed to the tearing down the filibuster last Monday

22. Cat Killer

Didn't Frist himself tell the story about using cats for autopsies in his own book?

[krystine]

23. ESPN, Guy

[eleny]

24. Good for you, Guy

They talk over - you teach them a lesson.

[eleny]

25. Sounds like someone from the White House calling

Schooled by Rove. Feh!

[guajira]

26. Good Show Tonight!

Thanks for keeping us up to date on Andy's condition. We wish him the very best.

BTW Guy, our local DEC had a breakfast this AM. Speaker was Jim Davis. I cornered him on my pet issue - travel to Cuba. Davis thinks Americans should not be allowed to go to Cuba! He lost my potential vote right there and then!

[Dudley_DUright]

27. Thanks for the appeal for Andy's medical fund Guy

It is sad that Andy has to rely on the kindness his DU family and others to raise money for his operation due to the fact that he does not have any health insurance. This would be unthinkable in every other advanced country in the world where health care is considered a human right and not a luxury.

[krystine]

29. Republican Luv!

[Dudley_DUright]

30. Monkey Boy?

Udderly Stoopid. :spray::rofl:

[benburch]

31. White Rose checking in!

Show will be archived as usual!

:-)

[Dudley_DUright]

33. Thanks Ben

I missed last week so I will be visiting soon. :-)

[Dudley_DUright]

32. I heard that joke this week too

except the punch line was slightly different. "The fundies are not happy unless they think they are the only ones that got into heaven."

[krystine]

34. Tell the dunb ass to go and google it.

[jimshoes]

35. Bam Bam

That was Guy giving the freeper both barrels. Nice.

[eleny]

36. Great guns, Guy

You've had them one after another tonight. They all look pretty foolish clinging to Clinton's you-know-what. Time for them to let go.

[guajira]

37. These idiots think Iraq attacked us or

was a threat to us in some way. Strange how my Dems friends and I were sure there were no WMD's months before the invasion. And our government couldn't figure it out????

[guajira]

39. Richard Clark?

[proud patriot]

38. Just got here ...had a B-day party to attend today

I'll catch the archive

[eleny]

40. They're terrified these days

Scared stiff of AAR and now Guy James. The right wing is collectively sweating right down into their shoes. It's going to get worse with each passing week.

[krystine]

41. Send the damn Freepers Here

If I can google. they can google

Some Iraq Analysts Felt Pressure From Cheney Visits

By Walter Pincus and Dana Priest
Washington Post Staff Writers
Thursday, June 5, 2003; Page A01

Vice President Cheney and his most senior aide made multiple trips to the CIA over the past year to question analysts studying Iraq's weapons programs and alleged links to al Qaeda, creating an environment in which some analysts felt they were being pressured to make their assessments fit with the Bush administration's policy objectives, according to senior intelligence officials.

43. Those Freepers were really stacking up there toward the end

Of course, their calls alway sound virtually identical. Ill informed, full of hate, and when cornered, all they can do is retort; "but Clinton lied".

[eleny]

42. Dialog my ass!

Bush didn't want to listen to anything except privatization. This turning the tables is bulls**t!!!

Another planted wingnut.
