So how is Brian Lamb helping cover GOP tush this am?

[Skidmore]

I had a connnectivity problem and have just tuned in. What have missed?

[Voltaire99]

1. Er...

Were it not for Lamb, there'd be no CSPAN. It's only the most useful channel in the US.

[Skidmore]

2. True, but that's never stopped him from cutting off liberals

and promoting Rs.

[leftchick]

3. you do not find Fridays with Brian somewhat

frustrating?

4. Brian is doing fine this AM.

Earlier he did ask for only Pub callers to answer the question "does giving back $$ gotten from Abramoff matter to you?" I actually think that was a good idea. We already know what the Dems would say, and it was interesting to hear what the Pubs had to say.

Now he has a guest on from The Center for Public Integrity who is doing a good job showing how you can track lobbying $$ through their web site.

5. isn't the center for public integrity manned by republicans?

i may be wrong, and i apologize if i am.

6. He started the show with "REPUBLICAN ONLY" call ins...His question

was "Should the Republicans clean house?" I would say 9 out of 10 people who phoned in said...YES. The tide is turning.

8. But then referred to them as "the fringe"....

During that segment, he took a call from someone who doubted that Republicans had been calling in at all; that Democrats had been posing as Republicans. The next call was from someone who was pissed at Bush--Brian cut him off, saying something like "You can understand how frustrating it is for a Bush supporter to hear these past calls from people "on the fringes". I don't think the show went as Brian hoped it would.

7. I'm STILL trying to figure out why Randi Rhodes wants to marry Brian Lamb.

WTF is she thinking? Randi is a very intelligent woman. What on EARTH does she see in Brian Lamb?:crazy:

[mwb970]

9. Shucks man, girls always go for the "bad boys".

They can't seem to help it.

[Justsayin]

10. Isnt Brian a....

"confirmed bachelor"?

[in_cog_ni_to]

11. NO. He JUST got married! to a woman.

;) Randi was pissed that he got married because SHE wanted to marry him. :eyes: I just can't figure that one out. WTF does she see in that man???*&^%$#@#$%^

[Justsayin]

12. That is funny

Randi was probably saying it tongue in cheek. Who did Brian get married to?

[in_cog_ni_to]

14. It WAS tongue in cheek, but she DOES love Brian Lamb.

I don't know who he married.:shrug:

[Catherine Vincent]

15. I think Brian is attractive....

for an older guy.

13. Some BellSouth lobbying problem

Where lobbyists billed Bell South for work unrelated to lobbying and since the billing involved Democrats, that's the story.

Oh, and since libruls are for separation of church and state, why aren't they for separation of corporation and state. Oh god man, pull your head out of your politically labeled ass!!!

And, Edsall, political editor of the WaPo wanting to know 'where's the outrage'!!! Didn't he just write a piece claiming the only people outraged were the lunatic fringe. Good god what a pompous windbag.

And I didn't even watch the whole thing because the rain is knocking out my reception.
