RADIO TIDBITS

Jason Lewis was the substitute host for Fats Limbaugh and he is at least as crazy as Fats. Today he claimed that some Democrats are "Marxist revolutionaries," a very old canard in wingnut world. One of the callers said the Democrats committed treason when they opposed Raygun's military buildup. People like that simply can't be reasoned with. Fats somehow turned the 9 mistakes a British judge found in Al Gore's documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" into 11 but does not link to the London Times article.

Sean Insannity blathered on about the evils of socialism and Hillary care and suggested that out Founding Fathers would also be opposed to these two evils. Justice Holmes thought otherwise.
In a feeble attempt to warn about the supposed enormous cost of improving healthcare, Insannity pointed out that the cost of the Medicare prescription drug coverage program was much higher than estimated but neglected to mention that Richard Foster, Medicare's chief actuary, was threatened with dismissal if he told lawmakers the real, higher, projected cost.

CATFIGHT!!!

WEINER (SAVAGE) VS. COULTER!!!

MediaMatters supplies the background and I've highlighted the remarks Savage thought was especially offensive::

During the October 8 edition of CNBC's The Big Idea, host Donny Deutsch asked ight-wing pundit Ann Coulter:
"If you had your way ... and your dreams, which are genuine, came true ... what would this country look like?" Coulter responded, "It would look like New York City during the [2004] Republican National Convention. In fact, that's what I think heaven is going to look like." She described the convention as follows: "People were happy. They're Christian. They're tolerant. They defend America." Deutsch then asked, "It would be better if we were all Christian?" to which Coulter responded, "Yes." Later in the discussion, Deutsch said to her: "[Y]ou said we should throw Judaism away and we should all be Christians," and Coulter again replied, "Yes." When pressed by Deutsch regarding whether she wanted to be like "the head of Iran" and "wipe Israel off the Earth," Coulter stated: "No, we just want Jews to be perfected, as they say. ... That's what Christianity is. We believe the Old Testament, but ours is more like Federal Express. You have to obey laws."

Weiner accused her of being an anti-Semite and became even more upset when a couple of his callers agreed with Coulter.
