AARGH.... Springer (AAR) talking about being a ..
metrosexual and planning his daughter's wedding.... How the hell does having this jerk on AAR do anything for the democratic/progressive cause? He is so OUT OF IT--probably doesn't even know that the true activists have spent the past 80 hours (and more) fighting for this country!

Damn, why doesn't AAR send him packing? (yes, he's a nice guy, I suppose, but he doesn't belong on progressive radio)

2. Poor Mike is already working in overdrive
Although it would give him the exposure he needs.

5. Mike couldn't be the Mike you know at this time of the day.
Jerry is an OK guy, but I have heard a lot of other hosts I'd rather have this slot.

Tom Hartmann
Guy James
John Rothman

And those are only the ones I listen to all the time via the net.I listen to Mike too, and get all worked up and scream with him all the time. I ust can't see his style being accepted for the "Morning drive to work."

3. The only thing greater than Springer's idiocy is his ego

6. LOL,
you said it! I still just cannot believe the head of the OH Dem party, Denny White, actually gave him the "OH Dem of the Year" award last year. Forget all the Dems who've worked so hard statewide. No, go with the idiot who makes all Dems look like fools, who hasn't even actually lived in OH for a long time, but who has been "very generous with his own funds." :eyes: :eyes: Sheesh, no wonder the OH Dem party is such an ineffective mess.

And remember, Springer's the idiot who, while mayor of Cincinnati, actually paid a hooker with a personal check!! Talk about pure fucking idiocy.

15. Hookers take checks? NOW you tell me!
On a more serious note, AAR seems focused on hiring hosts with broad name recognition first and foremost, certainly more so than providing an insightful listening experience.

4. That's about the only 3 hours not worth listening to on AAR.

8. Stephanie Miller is on at the same exact time. On many progressive
stations they carry her instead. She is a riot.

12. She is on in my market- and I stream Springer instead
Of the two, he is less offensive.
