1. I just sent an email and asked why didn't he report on the

Gannongate scandal when major newspapers and networks did. But Brian probably won't ask him that one.

[paineinthearse]

2. You never know

I'm not holding my breath, but have a feeling your question may be asked.

3. kick

4. Drudge. Again.

This is at least the third time that ass has been a guest of Brian Lambs, creator and producer of C-Span and WJ. And this is why I have been convinmced for years that Lamb is supportive of the right. When you look at the scehdule, you see how he almost always picks weak guests to represent the Dems and, giving them the crappy timeslots. When he takes callers from the dem line, he regularly answers with "but, what do you say when. . ?" IOW, taking them to task on thie point. With the repub callers he just lets them be.

I don't feel I'm imagining this, I've been a WJ listener for years, well before Bush. The man is right-leaning.

5. says all Wash papers give off story to Hilary for getting aide to say NK

has capacity to develope nuclear weapons. Says people are getting serious about her. Lots of praise from Drudge for Hil.

[rodeodance]

6. Bush has a failed policy on NK (my opinion) and he will not change

his policy (6 nation) on how to deal with NK and nuclear weapons.

[BlueManDude]

8. Lamb is a right winger. No question. Stopped watching

a long time ago. The morning he had David Brock on (way back in what 1993-4?) for an hour pushing vile stories about Bill Clinton and Ark State Troopers was the end for me. Did Lamb ever apologize? I remember times when you'd turn on CSPAN I and there'd be a Whitewater hearing and CSAPN II would have some other "investigation" going on(travel office, Waco whatever BS scandal the GOP was pusing).

Then of course he'd engage in the old trick of having a hard core movement right winger on up against a mainstream non partisan journalist (WJ used to have two guests together).

[Donailin]

13. I listened and I'm positive

Lamb could NOT STOP mentioning that essentially both parties have corruption and that the dems got away with this stuff for forty years. He constantly rephrased callers questions skewing them favorabley towards delay. He kept trying to avoid the actual topic: the fact that abramhoff or whatever his name is a disgusting racist thug. Which reminds me, I'm going to go read those emails and post them.

Lamb is a total rightwinger apologetic and he runs the show on C-span. I'm sick of it all.

[BlueManDude]

15. Lamb was some sort of military (Navy?) attache in the Nixon Admin

I'm sure it was a non-partisan job but just some additional background.

[BlueManDude]

7. Fatty and Skinny.

9. Crowley speaking of Abramoff now

Interesting facts coming out.

He has a series of emails from the Senate Indian Affairs committee where Abramoff uses terms such as "these mofo's" and "monkeys" to refer to the Saginaw-Chippawa Nation people.

[Donailin]

14. Here are the letters, everyone should read these words between

Abramoff and Ralph Reed, the so called uber Christian. It's in PDF format:

from this site: http://indian.senate.gov/


utterly disgusting and completely corrupt. this is what our tax dollars buys: wolves in sheeps clothing.

10. CSPAN just re-ran the segment with Matt Drudge.

And it was a total love-fest for this partisan tool. Matt lovers organized and called on the dem line and made stupid comments of nothing just to tie up the line so the real dems would not get through. I sent in my question regarding Gannon and Brian didn't ask it. The name Gannon didn't leave Matt's lips. The only highlight of this segment is Brian telling that repuke caller off that was whining about him starting off with the NYTimes everyday which is a damn lie.

[paineinthearse]

11. I saw that this morning

Good catch on the callers, I was half paying attention. This warrants a complaint to CSPAN.

[e-mail] <[e-mail]>

They supposedly have a meeting at 3PM every weekday to review the messages.

[Catherine Vincent]

12. I doubt if there's anythng they can do about it.

I have no proof, of course, but you know that is what happened. The so called dem callers didn't really say anything but babbling.

Matt doesn't like the fact that he is called a blogger. hahahaha!
