I'm a Democrat and I say the same thing when I watch Olberman. I usually think there's a shread of truth at the core of what he's saying but that act- I'm the rightous one and I'm so disgusted about the evil I see- give me a break. Just say your piece. I like someone like Paul Begala much better. Just kind of a dork who knows what's going on and generally shares my opinions. He can get a little silly sometimes, but so can I. But he usually doesn't make it all out like it's the end of the world.

I can recall hearing Hannity for the first time and thinking; "Who in the hell would listen to this phoney windbag?" But, that's me. Generally, when they start shouting "This is a Christian nation!!", is when I shut them off. And he does that ad nauseum.

I am registered as an independent, but I do lean left, so I would have to say Democrats should just be embarrassed. But I do like Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, mainly for the humor aspect though. I've never found Limbaugh funny per se, even when I was a "ditto-head" long ago. At some point I decided he was just a monotonous asshole, and went back to listening to music.

I am not the least bit embarrassed by these imbeciles on the TV. They do not, in any way represent me, or my views. In fact I do not watch any of em.

It was Phil Gramm's bright idea and Rubin told Clinton it was a good idea to drop Glass Stegall so I think there if more than enough blame to go 'round.
