William Pitt needs his own show--seriously!
I just watched his speech (on Democracy Now, I think it was)--maybe someone can provide the link to the video..

Wow, this guy is THE spokesman for anti-deceit, anti-corruption, and anti-neoconservative-radicalism. He speaks for reason. He speaks for the average American. His views totally correlate with mine, he's informed, and a GREAT speaker. He would have great TV presence, and I'm sure his show could pull off moderately modest numbers due to how well his views represent what the increasingly anti-Bush population is feeling.

Just imagine..."CNN Presents, The Pitt Stop, working to stop the liars, idiots and thieves running our country, featuring your host, William Rivers Pitt"..WOWIE WOWIE WOWIE! Someone contact CNN, I think we may have something here!

"The Pitt Stop."

:)

Only if I can drink and smoke while doing it.

(for critics of the fact that I was drinking and smoking in Houston, that was the 100th speech I'd given, and the first one I was able to do that. Chilled me out)

9. Who?
Will, your level of respect with me just plummeted. You don't know who Sheldon Drobny is? He is the Chicago liberal that just ponied up $10,000,000 to start a liberal talk radio network.

16. If I had a dime
for every time someone says their respect for me 'plummeted' for one reason or another, I'd have enough dimes to fashion a large mallet and be able to beat people to death.

Never heard of the guy. Sue me.

18. Dime
If you had all those dimes you could finance the network yourself!

I just found it odd and disappointing that someone as informed and active as your self, on and off this board, didn't know who he is.

11. Mr. Drobney
He's been on the news the last few days. He's putting up 10 million dollars to get the new radio network up and running.

Just kidding. But I did hear someone at the end say, "Hang those sum bitches."

12. Yes, great stuff, Will.
I was very impressed. "The Pitt Stop"...hmmm.

Guess you should be thankful it wasn't "Arm Pitt", or worse..."Cock Pitt". :silly:

YOU WERE GREAT, William!!! And the fact that you were smoking and drinking beer (Bud Light, no less -- my beer of choice! :) ) only added to your inimitable charm!!! I can relate to that more than I can to all the straitlaced, tightassed repukes we've been subjected to, lo' these many years ...
