Shit My Congressman Says

I think I’ll start a new reality show.  Shit My Congressman Says.  I think it’s a winner!

Or maybe start small, with a twitter account!  Unfortunately, someone already registered ShitMyRepSays… with no tweets. Ugh. I’ll keep working on it.

Perhaps we’ll just make it a regular feature on the show…

Allen West really does need some help.  The poor man is delusional.  Just yesterday, he told a Huffington Post reporter that he had just apologized to Debbie Wasserman-Schultz for his vile and unprofessional actions after her somewhat run-of-the-mill floor speech calling him out on his stance on Medicare.  His spokeswoman then categorically denied that he apologized, saying she owes him an apology.  What are we in kindergarten?  Man up Mr. West.

Stephen Colbert showed his usual brilliance on this story last night…

It’s even worth sitting through the commercial to watch!

On my show this morning, I did talk about West, the debt ceiling nonsense, the Murdoch mess, and more with comedian John Fugelsang.

On a serious note,in the first hour of the show, I talked about the tragic assault on education in this country with Steve Edwards.

And Joshua Holland joined me to talk about his latest AlterNet piece, “Why the Wealthiest Americans are the Real Job Killers” and the bigger issue of the framing of political discourse in our country.

Although I end my Radio or Not broadcast week with my Thursday shows, I’ll be filling in for Randi Rhodes tomorrow and Monday… so be sure to tune in at any of Randi’s affiliate stations from 3-6pm ET..  Talk to you then!
