8. I heard something at the end of the program that I had never heard
Edited on Fri Apr-21-06 04:25 PM by higher class
before - he said that there had been 73 calls. Made me think that they may have set up some quotas for themselves that they want to reach to make sure the calls don't lag. That could explain the feeling I have that they are way too quick to cut calls at times. I can see it for people who don't mute. But, it is prevalent. Some of their brusqueness is really rudeness and for Peter, it might be paranoia that he may have to speak to one too many Dems.

But, it must be a tough role to play all around. The majority of people just don't get to the point. They take up time as though they were at their corner coffee shop with other retirees.

A positive thing I can say about him is that he finally came around to the realization that the internet has news. He still doesn't quote a blog and he still always has to quote from the NY Post and Wash Times. At least he doesn't pretend that he is something he is not.

He has documented plenty of our history, turned us on to history, and covered some things I would not have wanted to miss. Sweet-sour.
