Is everyone calling in to c-span this morning on drugs??
I am listening to people comment on Hillary as Sec or State on the call in portion of c-span.. and I cannot make heads or tails out of what these people are saying. It sounds like everyone has had one too many bourbons and branch water. No one is speaking in complete sentences or making a connected thought.

1. I often ask my wife "Can everyday Jill/Joe American speak in full sentences"?
:shrug:

Doesn't seem so, if one uses CSPAN as any measure.

5. It makes you realize how we got a 2nd Bush term
It is frightening how clueless our populace has become, or maybe always was

2. I watch most of Washington Journal 3 or 4 times a week.
I've even gotten through a few times. It's rare when someone calls that has any real perspective, but sometimes the guests are good. It was great fun during the election when the wingnuts would call, and it was much more entertaining than msnbc or any of the others.

I'd love to get a bunch of Duers together one morning to phone bank WJ with liberal points of view.

6. I like to watch Wash. Journal, and sometimes get the biggest
kick out of the guests reactions to some of the questions coming in. I almost wonder if those people calling in are plants.

13. It does make you wonder.
I've gotten through three times, and it hasn't been easy. You also can only call every 30 days.

8. love the idea.. sometimes i feel watching these nutpeople
talk that america is a weird weird place, but then again, can't really blame them all they listen to is Hannity and Limbaugh. We should form and/or organize a group to call one morning and give them our perspective..

12. I would be happy to join a group like that.
The problem is, I'm on the west coast so I have to get up at 4am to catch the whole thing, but I'm willing to do it for an organized effort. If it works out we could do it like once a week.

11. LOL and OMG at the same time.
'It sounds like everyone has had one too many bourbons and branch water. No one is speaking in complete sentences or making a connected thought.'

Sounds like they all must be recent graduates of the gwb academy of speechification!
