John Amato - The Nicole Sandler Show

The Scariest Halloween Ever

It's Halloween, so I thought I'd assemble some really scary things for you to think about today (and leading up to election day on Tuesday). 1. In the wake of Sandy, let's remember Mitt Romney's big laugh line during his RNC speech: "President Obama promised to begin to slow the rise of the oceans...and to heal the planet...." He went on to say that it's immoral for the United States to take out loans to help fellow Americans. Really? I'd say it's immoral not to do anything and everything possible to help those in need, especially after a disaster [...]

Pre-Bate

Tonight, the long-awaited first debate between the two contenders for the presidency in 2012 is here. I fear it will be a giant let-down. As much as I'd like for Mitt Romeny to "just be Mitt", he'll really just recite the answers that have been scripted for him on the subjects the candidates have been given in advance. Yesterday, I guest hosted the Randi Rhodes Show (thanks, Randi!), and played some of the mock-debate scene from HBO's The Newsroom. If you haven't yet seen it, I encourage you to watch, as it's the only time you'll see any such debate [...]

Mitt Foreign Policy Fail

Listen to this episode: {play}http://traffic.libsyn.com/radioornot/20120919_Nicole_Sandler_Show_-_The_Problems_with_Mitt.mp3 {/play} Podcast: Play in new window I had my fun yesterday with Mitt Romney's comment condemning almost half of Americans as moochers, deadbeats and drags on society. Today I turn my attention towards Mitt's foreign policy blunders. The same guy who offended our closest ally while in England for the Olympics and continued to show his lack of diplomatic chops while abroad stuck his foot so far in his mouth during the "secret tape" that it's a wonder he hasn't deep-throated his whole leg yet. A few of my key take-aways from the foreign [...]

A Tale of Two Cities – With the Split Screen

Listen to this episode: {play}http://traffic.libsyn.com/radioornot/20120829_Nicole_Sandler_Show_-_RNC_lies.mp3 {/play} Podcast: Play in new window There's your split screen image for today. On the left, the photo tweeted by MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry with the description Feeling sad. #Isaac took the home @JamesHPerry and I just bought. All safe. House was vacant except for my dreams. pic.twitter.com/h62AkGPB On the right is the scene in Tampa, where people bragged about praying the storm away. Their party will continue tonight, as millions in the Gulf are fighting the elements to stay alive and keep what few possessions they have left. Today on the show, I gave an update [...]

The Morning After Health Care Passed

The sweeping health care reform bill already passed by the Senate passed the House last night. Funny, though, I haven't noticed a slide into the Fascist-Socialist-Communist state the right has been warning us about. Tomorrow morning, President Obama will sign this bill into law, and then the Senate will (hopefully) quickly pass the fixes in the reconciliation bill. And then, with our urging, they'll get to work on making it better. (Public Option/Medicare for All, anyone?) On tonight's show, we talked about the bill that passed last night, and what it means to us in the immediate future, as well [...]

Health Care and Mormons and Hate Speak, Oh My!

**Podcast audio fixed. Somehow, Tuesday's show was originally re-posted. Click on the player to hear the correct audio. Sorry for the inconvenience! NS** Today, I watched President Obama's final speech on Health Care Reform. And he said nothing. Nothing new, anyway. It was the same old shit. Same old pandering to the right. Same old sidestepping the public option -- the one fix that could get much of his former base back on board, but that, for reasons still completely obscured, he ignores. The same old Obama, trying to please everyone and, by doing that, pleasing no one... except the [...]

Baseball, Politics, and Humor!

It's a busy show tonight, and I want to make sure you have links to all the guests and most of the topics! We'll kick things off at 11pm ET/8pm PT with John Amato of Crook & Liars. I've been a fan of that site for a long time, and this is John's first appearance on my show, so I'm quite excited about it. But I'm at a bit of a disadvantage, as the story he wants to talk about tonight deals with baseball player Mark McGwire, his steroid use, and the fact that former George W. Bush spokesliar Ari [...]
