Would you want Sam Seder to get a new co-host...

[Eric J in MN]

...now that Janeane Garofalo is leaving?

If so, who?

[DELUSIONAL]

1. When Sam is on by himself -- I turn him off.

his yelling is tiring. Even if he has a good message and is a nice liberal guy.

I'd rather listen to Mike Malloy and Randi.

[Eric J in MN]

3. I know what you mean.

I like to hear Sam Seder to talk to callers, guests, co-hosts, but not to do a monologue of shouting.

2. judy gold?

5. I thought she was a repuke......

Isn't she the tall (6'0")woman that was on Collin What-his-face's Comedy Central show?

[rusty charly]

15. did she come off that way on that show?

here's a quote from an interview with her:

“I talk about my disdain for that liar or should I say liars in the White House,” she says, turning serious. She refers to President George Bush as “that thing in the White House.” She’s hopeful that things will make a turnaround after the debates. “Kerry comes from behind and he’s a master debater. I’m really looking forward to the debates. When you travel like I do you realize how stupid so many people in this country are. Actually, they are smart but they still believe all those lies.” She considers the public furor around former President Bill Clinton’s not-so-private sex life and compares that with the disinformation that is the backbone of the current administration. “How much money was spent on that blow job?” she asks incredulously. “And how many lives are now being lost because of policies?”

Almost worse, she says, is the smoke and mirror effect that all the attention to the Iraqi war is taking up in the media. “No one is really looking at his domestic agenda on things like social security or economics.”

And, she adds, she doesn’t want to hear another word about the liberal, left-leaning media. Most media, she asserts, is firmly under the control of right wing conservatives with a vested interest in maintaining the Republican status quo.

4. Nah. . .

with all the guests he has, who needs a co-host. . .the conversations get too busy with too many people.

BTW, Janeane's theory that Ken Lay is alive and living off the stolen big bucks is dead on!

I'll miss her courageous views on current affairs. . .the result of her majoring in history. . .anyone with an historical long-view is able to call it like it REALLY is.

Best of luck, Janeane!

:loveya: :yourock:

[wryter2000]

6. Nope

I love him all by himself.

On the other hand, I'd love to have Marc Maron back.

[Eric J in MN]

7. Marc Maron said on "The Majority Report" the other night,

...that AAR wants him to have a show, but doesn't want to pay him "in show business dollars."

[Strelnikov_]

14. Well, Then I Guess Marc Does Not Get It

Progressive/liberal radio is going to have to operate on a shoestring for the foreseeable future.

We need people like Amy Goodman, who see this as a cause, versus entertainers that see it as the next gig.

On edit: Nothing against Maron, like him. But, I do not see a future if they are giving out $1M contracts. Nothing against Franken, I like him also.

[Amy6627]

8. No, Sam alone. But better yet, I like it when Thom Hartmann fills in.

[marmar]

9. No. Sam is at his best when it's just him...

I agreed with Janeane on just about everything, but her stream-of-consciousness babbling was a real drag on the show. The flow is much better when it's just Sam.

[Mojambo]

10. I much prefer Sam on his own.

He's brilliant.

[longship]

11. Marc Maron

Heard the two of them together on Majority Report the other day. They were actually quite good.

Plus, with Maron we get Lawton Smalls, Rapture News, the iNews 5000, Sammy the Stem Cell, Future Marc(s) and a whole lot of other good stuff.

[Strelnikov_]

12. Sam Does A Good Job On His Own n/t

[in_cog_ni_to]

13. No. I like Sam when he's on by himself. n/t
