Many of you . . .


. . . will already know that during a recent radio show I took Senator "Box Turtle" Cornyn and his office to task for being such whiny-babies. They called the station and complained that if I were going to have a liberal on to talk about possible Ralph Reed, Tom DeLay, Abramoff like corruption linked to John Cornyn then they needed to be on the air during or afterwards to refute the charges, equal time and all that. (Like Rush Limbaugh ever gave Bill or Hillary equal time!)

"Yeah, right," I said on the air. And then continued to criticize Senator "Box Turtle" Cornyn, deservedly so, for the next 20 minutes.  

Well, they started up again, called the station and made a kind of wink-wink-nudge-nudge implied threat to pull access not only for the guy I guest host for, but the whole station. Pretty sad operation in my book. I recognize they don't want negative press. But you can't own the press and then complain that it's the "Liberal Media™" that's keeping you down. I didn't realize someone could be a wimp and a bully at the same time but Cornyn's people have succeeded. They're wimps because they can't handle a little criticism and they are bullies by throwing their weight around trying to prevent it.

That, people, is what is wrong with politicians these days. And I am telling you all this because this is my website and Senator "Box Turtle" Cornyn can't pull my access to anyone because I don't have any. Go bully Alan Colmes.

This is just plain wrong!  The Administration uses these tactics, so it obviously filters downhill.  

As I once read (I forget the title of the book), "Politics is like a septic tank.  All the big chunks rise to the top.

Please keep us informed on any further developments.

Your radio show quality improves because of wimpy politicians.

If everyone was silent every time they were bullied, the world would be mute.
