Joe Conason is the greatest

[kcwayne]

On Hardball just now, with Bob Dornan foaming at the mouth with an idiotic diatribe about Clinton cutting a Faustian deal to corrupt the youth of America (is this jerk on drugs or just stupid), Joe calmly says:

"This is the state of the Right Wing today. They are so interested in grabbing Clinton's crotch that they cannot discuss any real issues".

I just started reading Joe's latest book ("Lies"), and highly recommend it.

4. Conason ROCKS!

He and Gene Lyons did a GREAT job with "The HUNTING of the PRESIDENT". I can't wait to read Joe's newest book.

5. Joe is super.....

and he answers emails, too.

8. I hope he answers mine

I loved "Big Lies", but in one chapter he calls Noam Chomsky "irritating". E-mailed Joe asking him to clarify. Still waiting.

6. Joe got a few good lines in

but I was so irritated by Bob Dornan I could barely watch it. He kept shouting over Joe (who remained calm) - called Clinton beelzebub and a litany of other names - that's all he's about; asked Joe if he'd let his daughter near Clinton. Tweety laughing in the background the whole time. Ugggh. Wish Joe could have had at least 30 seconds without an interruption.

7. Big Lies is a great book!

Finished reading it and started on Jim Hightower's 'Thieves in High Places'.

I've never bought so many hard cover books in my life. :)
