holy crap, Randi is linking Steve Griles to Abramoff
Edited on Wed Jan-04-06 04:28 PM by LSK
Griles was/is ? Deputy Secretary for the U.S. Department of Interior.

http://www.doi.gov/secretary/griles.html

Damn, too much to type.

Basically this guy used to lobby for Mining Companies and once in power he helped deregulate the Mining Industry.

Supposedly Arbramoff was wining and dining this guy so they could team up somehow.

Follow the money.

Mining Company -> hire lobbyists -> pay money to GOP -> get Mining Company lobbyists in power -> deregulate and NON-enforcement of miners safety -> MINERS DEAD!!!

2. Well, that's a timely bit of news, isn't it?
Not much surprises me, anymore. Infuritates, but doesn't surprise.

4. What! She's not attacking Murtha for advising young men not to join the
military? That's Big Eddie's hot story. </sarcasm>

I love Randi. You go girl!!

6. Big eddie has it wrong. Murtha said he would not join the Military today.
When asked "If a young person was thinking for joining but did not want to support *'s imperial war would you agree now is not the time to join?" Murtha said "yes". Little eddie is just stirring the pot to generate some calls.
I wish they would take him of my local radio and return Randi live.

8. i just called and left a voice message for the program manager
at wcpt in crystal lake illinois
asking why they air the ed schultz show instead of keeping air america on and letting randi's show air after they air al's show.
i left my name and number--think they'll call me back?

(i'm sick to death of hearing "big eddie" and chicagoland wants to hear randi!!! (they put her on after ed schultz and the station goes off the air at sunset. so obviously we don't hear much of randi lately. just plenty of that stupid blowhard who sounds like evil limbaugh's evil twin)

16. they do play Randi and Malloy on the weekend
But you are right. Randi's show should be played in full. They really need a 24/7 license.

20. if they would just get rid of ed schultz
and let air america run we'd be able to at least hear most of randi's show before the sun went down.

10. The last paragraph of the article in our local paper
mentioned his name and possible ties, so it's out there. Just maybe not being reported very widely.
