1. Update

Mistakenly started in LBN. They're now trashing Arnie! :thumbsup:

2. Listening...

I've seen Jeffers on various cable food fights...he's ok, but us Chicagoans kinda like listening to one of our own. But this is far better than the usual RW pukers on this station.

5. I love it when...

... he gets right back in Chris Matthews face! :evilgrin:

3. Can you provide some details, play-by-play

I can't get it to stream...

8. Jeffers just made the points that:

1.) He has many conservative friends, and Rush, Hannity, et al are "RW fringe", not 'conservative'.

2.) The difference between RW-ers and progressives is RW-ers single-mindedly wake up fighting progressives in the mornings, while progressives have LIVES and take the kids to school, etc! Cracked me up! :P

Edit: Spelling errors

[even]

9. I am surprised.

I was afraid they were gonna run "The Best of Hannity".

4. Peter Jennings and Jim JefforDs?

10. Too bad Carl keeps cutting out

Hopefully they can get the technical stuff straightened out soon. Maybe it's the Seattle fog that's causing it! ;-)

11. The Parsing Game...

On the left it's this adversion for Democrats to call Dubya a liar and the RW game of connecting any lie/scandal in this corrupt regime with Clinton. Why we waste time trying to defend this apples/oranges crap is getting so old.

Jennings did mention...albeit indirectly...that nobody has died from Clinton's lies. But he's trying way too hard to play "I'm liberal, but..." This is why there aren't many successful liberal/progressive commercial radio talk hosts.

12. Most Of The Calls (For Non-Chicagoans)

Are from the heavily Repugnican "collar counties"...WLS's "red-meat" area these days. I'll bet most are thinking Rush or Hannity is going to be on.
