Hey, you can't see Dick Morris make a fool of himself if you don't
watch Fox.
I'm just writing about the "news" programs on Faux. Their commentators,
such as Hannity, O'Rally, and soon, Beck, are just plain trash.
They have their news slant, but actually have a better news arm than
the other networks from what I've seen. *CNN still reigns on the
international front.
I think Hannity and Beck are idiots. *If you can ignore O'Reilly's
pomposity - difficult, but doable - he's not bad if you're interested
in the subject matter he's discussing. *Good polemicist.
You actually get different points of view, agree or not.
All IMHO.

I watched O'Rally a couple of times because I was wondering why
Olbermann kept poking fun at him. I understood almost immediately. You
call O'Rally pompous...I suppose my calling him a gasbag is about the same.

My favorite cable commentator is Rachel Maddow. She's very smart, very
fast, and very nice. Also very funny.

The "Rhode Scholar" *Dike? *She and Barney Frank should become legally
married. At least they would look legitimate.

Rachel is gay. So what? I don't want to have sex with her, I want to be
informed a little and entertained a lot by her. And like Maddow, Frank
is very, very smart. I prefer *smart* political leaders, which probably
is one of the reasons why I disliked George W. Bush so much.

Frank also is at the top of the class in providing *constituents with
the kinds of services that keep getting him re-elected in his district,
and in championing civil right and civil liberties issues. Frank has his
faults and has misstepped a few times, but the same can be said about
everyone else. I appreciate Frank helping to "out" those conservative
Republicans still in the closet who are gay and speak out against gays
and gay rights.

I've never understood the outright hatred some on the right express for
gays.- Hide quoted text -

Hey, at least Bush was smart enough to not have to lie about his
education, eh Yale boy?
