To suggest that any talk radio station is analogous to "news" is comical and it would seem that you might be the one playing dumb. <BR/><BR/>It would be like thinking a blogger is somehow similar to the New York Times. Don't take it all so seriously and get that big beer out of your face. <BR/><BR/>BTW, is your daughter seeing anybody right now?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9895345.post-57223112425026946112008-05-14T17:44:00.000-05:002008-05-14T17:44:00.000-05:00To "Mad Conservative" It couldn't have been said ...To "Mad Conservative" It couldn't have been said better.

Big difference, but you already knew that.<BR/> <BR/>Of course it’s perfectly legal. I never said it wasn’t nor do I propose restrictions. Keep playing dumb if you like.<BR/>You have to admit this is unusual. <BR/><BR/>Mainstream media outlets aren’t in the habit of sponsoring political events. The Chicago Tribune doesn’t hold fundraisers for Dick Durbin and the ABC radio network doesn’t sponsor WTO sit-ins. They make every attempt to cover the news not create it.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06368635217133898734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9895345.post-90350622296417986892008-05-14T15:34:00.000-05:002008-05-14T15:34:00.000-05:00oh, thanks.

However, any legislator that shows up, whether he/she really cares or not, is going to get a lot of really sweet press afterward. It's all good though.
