um -- er -- alternet: Video: C-Span Flooded with Prank Calls About Romney's Penis

http://www.alternet.org/newsandviews/article/762329/video%3A_c-span_flooded_with_prank_calls_about_romney%27s_penis/

C-Span is not where the average person would go for comedy, and that's putting it lightly. But lately, the droning political live channel has become a bit more interesting, due to what may either be one funny man with multiple personalities, or a group of jesters who think the channel could use a little more excitement. C-Span doesn't seem able to stop prank callers who want to talk about Romney's penis size, and it's pretty funny.

On Monday, after flattering former New Hampshire governor Judd Gregg, a caller asked him asked a seemingly serious question about Newt Gingrich‘s campaign before smoothly slipping in "And, uh, how big is Mitt Romney's penis?"

The average "age" in the U.S. would be much lower.

Stern was totally trashing Bush then, and his show got dumped even though he was the highest-rated show. Free enterprise, my ass - ClearChannel and comcast are here to serve the fascist agenda and they will even dump their highest rated show if they think it will hurt their grip on power.

I sort of feel sorry for that poor host, but that is really funny to me. Not so much the "penis" part as the repetition. Repetition makes me laugh.

the C-span hosts will survive this. And it looks like some of the guests enjoy it.
