Lionel on vacation. Replacement is Wesley Clark, Jr.

[Graybeard]

On AAR now the Lionel Show is being hosted by Wesley Clark, Jr. (Yes, he said he is Gen. Clark's son) and someone named Michael Shorr (sp)? Anyone know anything about either of them?

[immoderate]

1. They were both with "The Young Turks."

Have been doing this type of radio for a few years. Wes Jr. is a screen writer. It's good to hear them.

3. Thanks. I have not listened to The Young Turks.

They are doing a great show so far.

[ginnyinWI]

2. I wonder if he's Daniel Schorr's son or grandson?

Daniel Schorr is 90 years old--a longtime liberal radio journalist currently on NPR Morning Edition.

[Graybeard]

6. I wondered about that also...

Daniel Schorr is a brave journalist who never

shrinks from reporting the truth.

[The Count]

4. Thank you! Let's give them great ratings - get rid of the libertarian in the process

as well. K&R this thread so we get more people listening!

[gasperc]

5. They are regularly on Young Turks

Wes Clark Jr. started the ENOUGH campaign. They are going to go after congress's jugular this week. Wow, I wonder if this was planned long ago in advance for this week's hearings.

7. Let's take back this time slot from the blowhard!

[Graybeard]

8. Jr. just hinted at VP for his dad!

He was talking to a caller about his dad not being able to raise a hundred million bucks for a campaign but that he "may" be on somebody's ticket.

9. Wes Jr. is WONDERFUL! He's a DU member, ya know! He's just as

intelligent as his father and is a GREAT spokesperson for Progressives! :bounce:

GO WES!

[renate]

17. ditto that "wonderful"!

I know kids don't always grow up to share their parents' views, but it's kinda neat (and fortunate!) the way it happened with this family.

I wonder what they talked about around the dinner table... it would have been fun to be a fly on that wall.

:loveya:

[Liberal In Texas]

10. Actually listening to AAR instead of Steph. today.

Wes Jr. said his father would love to run, but the $$ aren't there. Pity we have a system where only the wealthy can run for pres.

[Graybeard]

11. They smacked down a freeper just now.

RW Kool-Aid drinker trying to defend the "surge" and the whole war situation was nicely made to look like an idiot by Wes and Mike. All he had were bumper sticker slogans and BushCo propaganda. Nice job!

[Clark2008]

12. I'd rather listen to any Clark over Lionel

Too bad there is no liberal programming in my area - at all.

[zonkers]

13. Wes Clark's son is so frank and funny. He is great.

[Stinky The Clown]

14. Stand by for heavy seas, mates.

Wes Clark Jr. is not one to pussyfoot around with his words. He's also not afraid to go at it with anyone, anytime. He will piss off everyone at one time or another. Political correctness is not one of his strong suits.

Personally, I really like the guy.

[zonkers]

16. Sharp as a tack, too.

[quiet.american]

15. Oh happy day! Oh happy day! Thanks for the heads up! n/t

[The Count]

18. SO HAPPY TO HAVE MY MORNING BACK!

Lionel killed this habit of having AAR on - can't believe they hired that idiot!
Wes Clark will be back tomorrow and Wednesday. I am writing AAR to keep him!

[Graybeard]

19. Ditto. Wes Jr. was great...

...and should have his own program. I will be listening tomorrow and Wednesday too.

[eridani]

20. How about a permanent replacement?

Clark sounds good. Get rid of that Lionel asshole.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

21. Does anyone actually think Lionel has added to AAR?

rather than break up an otherwise fine lineup of progressives?

[Greyhound]

22. He's a typical "Raygun Democrat" but I live in a civilized part of the country now

so he's easy to ignore.

[Adelante]

23. He's got a mouth on him

Wes Jr seems to be doing more and more radio.
