The title of the video was "Corporatist Democrat, Paul Ryan Lover: Erskine Bowles"

I like to listen to the Majority Report at http://majority.fm.

There's a new one every day. Thanks Sam.

1. My morning radio

I listen to as much Morning Edition as I can stand, and switch to podcasts featuring two former Air America alumni; Rachel and Sammy.

2. Remember when Air America first came out?

Wasn't it awesome? I thought it was just the best because most radio was so right wing.

[corkhead]

4. I was listening to them day-one.

I just watched Left of the Dial, an HBO documentary about the beginnings of Air America. I knew they had financial problems, but I wasn't aware that they existed from the very beginning. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. It was like attending a class reunion.

5. Thanks for the tip...I'll check it out.

Is this it?

15. I hadn't seen that trailer, but I got a copy of the movie

when I signed up as a member of the current iteration of the Majority Report.

I signed up with XM to be able to listen to them myself.

Air America had a great group of talent. I wish they were still around.

[limpyhobbler]

20. They did have a lot of talent on there.

A lot of good things sure have come out of it too. Al Franken in the Senate for one. Rachel Maddow didn't do too shabby either!

[limpyhobbler]

16. Why thanks. Already seen it.

It' a neat movie.

[Gabi Hayes]

17. yr wlcm....last time I checked it wasnt available. just got it from my library tonight.

ever seen this:

no sam, but h.jon and sarah's sister are both in the regular cast

premise:

dr. katz is a shrink and all his patients are standup comedians

just about my favorite show ever

[limpyhobbler]

18. Basically I do need to watch more Dr. Katz.

Hey have you seen that Sarah Silverman show that lasted about 3 seasons on comedy central? Now that thing was funny. One of my favorite comedy shows ever. It was edgy.

[Gabi Hayes]

19. you bet. she was PISSED at comedy central for their lack of support.

her sister, you know, I'm sure, played her sister on the show.

she was dr katz' secretary

I love her

one of my favorite characters ever.

on the DVD collection there are a few unaired episodes, one of which has ben proposing to her

3. Jesus Christ! WTF has happened to our fucking political party?

What the fucking fuck?

Yeah, I just hit the part where Bowles is praising Ryan as some sort of genius.

PB

7. How Mr. Bowles is a Democrat is somewhat a mystery.

[hay rick]

6. Simpson /Bowles.

Obama was ready to entrust the future of Social Security to a Republican and a Paul Ryan/Ryan budget fan.

[limpyhobbler]

9. Well I don't want to beat up the Prez. or anything like that, but I thought what Sam had to say

around 7:30 into the video was pretty good.

About how he need to frame the election as a vote against Romney/Ryan = a vote against austerity.

[hay rick]

13. I'm already on board.

My vote will be against Ryan/Romney, not for Obama.

Problem is that the popular media will deliberately ignore any progressive/populist meme. Job one is replacing the corporate media.

[fascisthunter]

8. I have no illusions... the democratic party has been taken over

by piece of shit DLC moles. We will lose what we have been working for for years, and that is what is rightfully ours, our social security benefits.

[Gabi Hayes]

10. you do have a choice, though:

drown in shit

or

drown in piss

[fascisthunter]

12. how comforting... hope you aren't a DNC rep

[Gabi Hayes]

14. I've pounded pavement for dem candidates, done poll watching, etc., in the past

no more

every day brings more disillusionment

then, I see shows like Rachel's tonight, and wonder how things can be as bad as they are

the other party NEVER ceases to amaze. just when you think they've reached impassible limits of mendacity, you hear things like Romney's retroactive non-residency in Massachusetts, just for starters
