Joe Madison on with Al Sharpton just said...

and I'm paraphrasing... The secret service should have dropped her face down on the tarmack.

1. That was sooooooooooo fabulous

I do like Joe Madison

4. Honestly, I think he's often rude to his callers

I want to like him because we come from the same city. But he's very short with the callers and sometimes seems to berate them even if they agree with him. I guess that's just his style. Obviously it works for him, even if I don't much care for it.

And let's get real about dropping her on the tarmac. Were a female Democratic governor dropped by Bush's secret service for wagging a finger, DU would declare it a glaring example of the arrival of the fascist police state. The right would have claimed the exact same thing if it had happened yesterday.

5. Did a female Democratic governor ever get that close to Bush? n/t

6. Does that matter?

FWIW, here are some pictures of Kathleen Blanco and Bush together in the wake of Katrina.

I imagine they had some heated conversations in private. Bush probably had lots of such conversations with Democrats. Whether fingers were waved or not I don't know. But that's not the point. I posited what reactions here might have been had it happened. Surely you agree that DU would not be blaming her for not respecting the office and certainly wouldn't approve of her getting roughed up by the secret service. That would have been a serious PR error, just as it would have been if the secret service had done it yesterday.

7. I agree and I stopped listening to his show because he acts as though anyone with

an opinion doesn't know what they are talking about. I tried to be a faithful listener, but I could not take it. As he says he likes to put it where the goats can get it. Still like him as an activist, but not as a talk show host.

2. Otis might had been drunk. They say she love liquid drink for breakfast.

3. Either that, or broken that pointy finger! n/t
