Seattle radio sucks.
AM and FM, rock, pop, classical, country, sports and talk, all suck to infinity. There is, quite literally, no way known to man to measure how badly Seattle radio sucks. Sure, there a few high points, but mostly, it is just a broadcasted black-hole. I’ve got 24 full presets covering both modulations, and I’ll just say that I listen to a lot of CDs when I’m in the truck.
But, as I drive from one of my offices to another, at 0100, I don’t generally listen to my CDs because the length of drive is only around three minutes. Instead, I flit through the channels.
Lately, I’ve decided that the loony left is entertaining. This may change at just about any time. Without provocation, I may listen to yet another playing of Zep, Skynrd, Nirvana, etc for those three minutes, but I currently listen to the local Air (central) America affiliate during that timespan.
Last night as I drove from my secondary office to my main one, “The Majority Report”, Garofolo’s show (which she hasn’t been on in a while) was on, and some random chucklehead, whose name I cannot remember, was talking. Apparently now even Seder, Garofolo’s ‘co-host (aka: the one who knows what he’s doing on-air), can’t show up to talk. This sub-guy was so out of his gourd that I had to sit in the cab and wait until the commercial break to go inside the building.
The focus of that hour’s intro/monologue was the death of Ken Lay. Now, I understand that 1. Ken Lay was not a well liked man (to say he was hated by a lot of people would not be an understatement), and 2. Leftists are insane, but good lord, even I don’t know anyone this unhinged.
It started out with “Was it a hit? Was it suicide? Is he really dead?” for around two minutes, going into how White House Press Secretary, Tony Snow, would spin it if it was ever found out that Lay entered the Witness Protection Program. The next four minutes or so started out with “How about the brevity of the autopsy? That’s suspicious!” and moved right on into how the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals MAY overturn Lay’s conviction because:
A. He plead ‘Not Guilty’
B. He hadn’t been sentenced yet
C. He’s dead, meaning he is unable to appeal his conviction.
The random chucklehead host went on and on about how terrible it would be if Lay’s conviction was overturned. Apparently, he is forgetting the first part of item C above.
Just what does this guy (and the folks on the left) want? To get Lay’s rotting corpse sentenced and put it behind bars? Are they that desperate to put someone identified with Bush in prison?
Libby better get himself a teflon suit. If he gets convicted, the leftists may just storm the courtroom and tear him limb from limb, which they’ll later blame on PTSD caused by their loss of satisafaction with Lay’s case.
