Not Tommy Cindercreek!

This may mean Chris Lydon may come back for the gig.
I just hope there's enough detail for a show segment.
Bring back Dick Gordon
Ashbrook is easily replaced by anyone else who is less of a pompous blowhard.
Chris Lydon
Bring back Chris Lydon !... or a thoughtful broadcaster informed by more than the press packet of each interviewee !
Hey Tom. Move to Alabama
Enroll as republican and just say Jesus.
Npr
Kind of funny to see how many sanctimonious npr gasbags are getting caught up in this foolishness.
OR...
Fixed this for you:
Kind of [great] to see how many [men] are [finally facing consequences for their actions].
Shrug.
Not sure you're twigging to the actual common denominator in the many news stories of late.
What do you know?
What "foolishness"? Considering nothing has been explained, please tell us what you know. Unless, that is, you're just being a sanctimonious gasbag.
You know why?
Liberals hold their own accountable for this shit.
"ConSwervatives" seem to toggle between "its my divine right!" and "nuh uh didn't do it the video of me doing isn't meeeee".
Riiiiiiiight. All liberals do
Riiiiiiiight. All liberals do what you said. How many liberals are still defending Al Franken?
Prez Pussygrab is about to get a wingman in the Senate
Meanwhile, at the demand of liberals, Franken & Conyers stepped down.
Liberals that supposedly adore the Constitution
so much seem to have had no problem denying due process to Franken and Conyers.
Due process?
I must have missed the part when Franken & Conyers were found "guilty" in court without having due process. Would you mind being a dear and sending a link to an article showing how each was found guilty in a court of law? That'd be the easiest way to show how they were denied due process. Thanks, Bri!
My point exactly
The Dems, in their rush to seem like they're nothing, NOTHING, like the GOP decided to crucify Franken without so much as ten minutes of investigation into the claims.
Or am I wrong?
they quit
Nobody forced them to quit.
Either they didn't want a trial or thought it wouldn't be worth the effort or they were as guilty as Weiner's weiner.
