Who is this "Bill" a$$hole on the Diane Rehm Show? (I missed his full name.)

[WorseBeforeBetter]

Demanding that the stimulus bill be comprised of 70% tax cuts ... the polls are moving against Obama ... blah blah.

(I just answered my own question:

Bill Beach

from where else? The Heritage Foundation!

1. I turned him off

Couldn't stand to listen to him.

Diane's a sweetheart, but she has the worst GOPers on to defend their defenslessness a lot of the time.

Can't take it. My blood pressure is more important. :P

edit: I'm now calmly relaxing to my local classical station before I head to the gym.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

5. I'm about to switch over to WCPE myself...

Based on your profile, I'm "assuming" that's what your local classical stations is too! :-)

[supernova]

7. That's it!

:loveya: WCPE!

B-)

10. I am thankful for the radio choices in The Triangle!

I don't think my car dial has been above 91.5. :-)

11. XDU plays some interesting stuff

sometimes too.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

15. Agreed.

Shaw has some good music, too.

I think I need the gym now after listening to that blowhard from the Heritage Foundation...

2. I don't know but Diane lost me with her affection for Cokie & Steve

can't listen to her anymore - she's a little too full of herself.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

3. I tuned out for a long time but find her show...

one of the few I can stomach these days. I guess the bar is set pretty low in that I'm just happy to have "discussion" rather than "screaming."

6. I know what you mean - we are losing progressive radio in D.C.

area in days or weeks - (1260 am) - the state of radio is horrific.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

8. Thank gawd WPFW is still around,.

What happened to WGMS Classical -- I was surprised to see that gone during my last visit. WTOP? Ugh! I'm happy I lived there during the "glory days" of 99.1.

[marylanddem]

9. Yes, we still have WPFW & I start my day with Amy Goodman

each & every morning.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

12. Amy, definitely, and I also enjoy 30 minutes of Ron Pinchback. (n/t)

[marylanddem]

14. Yes, Ron is my fave. He's cool, calm, & collected

[Veritas_et_Aequitas]

4. I keep giving Diane second chances and am disappointed every time.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

13. I have low blood pressure...

but this show was pushing it. Particularly that *poor* woman who, when combined with her hubby's salary, makes close to $300K and was bitching about taxes during her call-in.
