Sometimes I wish we had a liberal polemicist.
You know, conservatives have Coulter, Limbaugh, Savage, etc. out there saying nasty personal things about Democrats and liberals. Sometimes I wish we had two or three of them to fight fire with fire and give us a few laughs along the way.

You know, someone who would say things like:

"So Rush Limbaugh complained that he didn't like what I said. Well, Rush needs to take two Oxycontin with a nice tall glass of shut the fuck up. I've heard, though, that you need to take it with something on your stomach, so perhaps Rush and Bill O'Reilly could go out to a Greek restaurant and order a couple of felafels. Maybe Ann Coulter could join them if she could tear herself away from eating rice cakes and purging. They'd better be careful about Ann, though; she parties hard. O'Reilly might end up in the sack with her and get jabbed halfway to death with her hipbones. Then he could put it in a chapter - "Things To Avoid" -in his Factor For Kids book. In the meantime Rush would have to go back to his studio alone and talk out of the same thing he used to avoid the Viet Nam draft - his ass.

Speaking of avoiding the Viet Nam draft... This month, W embarks on a personal tradition dating back to his National Guard days - doing nothing. That's right, with the war in Iraq heating back up, it's VACATION TIME!!! You know, they say Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Well, if you substitute 'Bush' for Nero, 'Iraq' for Rome, and 'picked his ass' for 'fiddled,' you've got an accurate description of what our Supreme-Court-and-Diebold-appointed president plans for the coming weeks."

Even if it was for just 15 minutes a day, I'd love to listen to it.

1. You did pretty well right there GaYellowDawg
Ever think about it? I see from your profile that you are a singer so you must be used to performing in public. Give it a shot! :thumbsup:

2. Things might be different today
if Alan Berg hadn't been gunned down by skinheads. He was liberal, a fiery blowhard, and building market share. And he was there before Rush.

3. I'd like to see more Bob Beckel
He's a fighter. But he's fallen off the radar screen since his indiscretions with a call girl.

4. sounds interesting
No promises I'll try my hand at it, but it got me thinking.

Does Noam Chomsky count? I wonder.
