John McCain (R-AZ) doesn't think it fitting to slander John Kerry with misdirection and misinformation. Update 322: Another Republican, Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Nebraska), has now come to Kerry's defense,saying that the Bush Administration is misleading the American public (again) in their characterizations of John Kerry. Full story here.... East Bay Kerry A Republican veep would be...http://radio.weblogs.com/0111198/2004/03/22.html#a633 New Yorker Road Map- March 22, 2004 Good, another recommendation: Remembering the Wayward Pressman. The New Yorker marks the centennial birthday of the late A.J. Liebling, a writer whom I regard as the funniest American journalist of all time. Workbench I will add that to the list. A few weeks back I read and liked John Robb's recommendation: Contract Sport (at least I think it was John Robb who recommended it...). I am new to The New Yorker; my parents gave all of us a subscription at Christmas. This past weekend I.http://radio.weblogs.com/0111198/2004/03/22.html#a632 Howard Dean in San Francisco- March 20, 2004 I met my mom at the Palace hotel at 5:30pm. Luckily, she'd arrived at 5:00, a full hour early but just in time to secure the remaining two seats in the last row. Standing room only. "This is my daughter," my mom pointed to me, "this is my mother," we waved to her East Bay friends and my San Francisco friends from accross the room. The Governor was late, some got antsy. Others spontaneously broke into song: the Star Spangled Banner and "Shout for Dean -...http://radio.weblogs.com/0111198/2004/03/19.html#a631 How Cool is Phil- March 16, 2004 How cool is Phil One more reason I love Dean. Did you see him stand up for the Democratic party and Kerry on Face The Nation Governor Dean was a happy warrior, refuting Dr. Rice's spin. I can't wait to hear his Wednesday announcement.

Chris started by asking "is San Francisco as bad -- oops I mean as left as people think it is" to which Ronn replied absolutely not, San Francisco is part of the larger bay area which may lean a wee bit left if it leans at all. Then they moved onto gay marriage, political centrists, the FCC and the negative campaign ads. The best question was "why do people call into talk-radio shows" Some people call because they have something to add, Ronn said. But...http://radio.weblogs.com/0111198/2004/03/12.html#a629 Salon on Stern- March 12, 2004 Good article in today's Salon on Stern's wedge strategy. It's not the indecency hysteria that caused Clear Channel to pull Stern's show from six markets, he claims, but rather his anti-Bush remarks. Is he sincere or strategically using this political claim as a wedge to keep himself on the air "He's got one of the biggest audiences in all of radio, and perhaps the most loyal," says Michael Harrison, publisher of Talkers magazine, the nonpartisan monthly that covers radio's newstalk..http://radio.weblogs.com/0111198/2004/03/12.html#a628 "Delay" AND "Indictment"- March 12, 2004 Too good to be true Tom DeLay's funny-money trail The GOP strongman's political machine has stopped at nothing to extend its power.
