A question regarding David Sirota as he guest-hosted for Thom Hartmann last week.

[phylny]

I subscribe to Thom Hartmann's program via podcast, and knew
that David Sirota was going to be hosting it on Thursday and
Friday. I downloaded Thursday's podcast over the weekend and
listened to it on my way to and from work today. After hearing
it, I have no desire to listen to Friday's. 

David was condescending to those who disagreed with him,
sarcastic, and cut people off without giving them a chance to
rebut what he was saying as he was asking them more and more
questions that they wouldn't be given a chance to answer. It
appeared to me that if you didn't agree with him, he was going
to talk over you and ridicule you until it was the next
caller's turn. 

So, before I put him on my life's "ignore" list, was
Thursday's show and his "style" an aberration, or is
this his M.O.? It was such a departure from what I've become
accustomed to listening to Thom. I believe Mr. Hartmann has
spoiled me forever :)

1. David Sirota is a giant bag of douche. n/t

[Ruby the Liberal]

2. This is why he is a blogger and not a pundit

Kinda like the days old "he has a face for radio" meme. Sirota has the temperament for expressing his opinion without conversation. Does not make for a show host, IMO

3. he's full of himself... a douchebag of high order....

4. I live here in CO and he's been worse am760 than his guest hostings on Thom's show

I cannot listen to him for ALL the reasons you've posted.
he's our "beck"

5. Wow.. I kind of like him.

Although I never make it to the "calls" part of the show, I usually catch the first 45 minutes in the morning.
