Washington Journal -- RIP
I had no idea that show had sunk so low.

This morning's callers were heavily pro-Bush to the point where they all sounded nearly alike.

And then the moderator allowed this Bush supporter to go on a 10-minute rant. He "supposedly" was a Katrina survivor who relocated to Chicago. According to him, FEMA emulates Superman, and the Louisiana governor and mayor are lower than whale shit.

An anti-Bush disabled woman called only to be put on the spot by the moderator: he demanded to know how, with such a limited income, she was able to watch cable tv and afford to call the show.

I don't know when the jumped the shark, but that show is no longer a valuable source of news and public affairs topics.

1. Some days are better than others...
Some hosts are better than others.

I heard that caller you spoke of. The host was insulting to that woman.

:mad:

2. Yes, I heard him too.
As much as I watch WJ, I never remember the names of the hosts, but the one today is the worst. Not only because of the bias he seems to show, but he just doesn't do the job nearly as well as the others. My favorite is the lady.

3. If FEMA is so great why is this asshole in Chicago?
Seems to me they could have got him home and fixed his property by now. My wife watches WJ every morning and then rants all day about how stupid the callers are. I can't watch it -- not good for the old BP.
