Wednesday: We're Your Safe Haven From Terror...For Three More Days
We're fightin 'em on the air, so you don't have to fight them in person. Today we welcome Italian journalist Carlo Bonini, who's done some great work investigating the forged Niger documents that were instrumental in forging the lies that took us into Iraq. His new book is called, Collusion: International Espionage and the War on Terror. Plus we'll have Christy Harvey from the Center for American Progress and blogger, author, and activist David Sirota.

Are the rants and emails, and letters and phone calls helping?
Will Mark Green allow Maddow to curb stomp Lionel for being a wretched prick?
Are we there yet?

Morning, SEDER.
Also, when you get a chance, either ban or euthanize the dog.
Thank you.
Moring Sam..
The Blog is getting back to normal..
Sam, have you heard this Lionel..
Ha ha ha ha ha..
You will LoVe Him..!!!
"Million of people are fighting to get INTO this country..
And here you are..
With the world at your feet..
And you are bitching about how tough you have it..."
---
You dumbass. I'm not bitching at how rough it is for us. I am much more worried about the next several generations, and am particularly worried about the so called Third World. Pushing the average citizen of this country further towards that will have a violent reaction.
I don't want the world at my feet, I want the rest of the world to have it's needs met. I can worry about plundering after everyone has the necessities of life.
Who Says They're Gonna Come Back? Sammy does that's who.
Whoever makes you laugh comes back.
Because they tell the truth.
Sometimes you miss them
And sometimes you're sad,
Sometimes you're pissed off
And sometimes you get really mad (like when they cancel my favorite radio show)
But who Says he's gonna come back
Sammy does that's who.
Whoever takes care of you comes
baaaaaaaaack
Because they tell the truth!
I always laugh when the trolls at kos pull the free speech thing.
Wingnuts defending the First Amendment is one of the Seven Seals in the Revelation of St. John, isn't it?
You know I was thinking today, not only is this show awesome in itself, it's also very good for us (at least me) on an individual level, because it makes you want to read all those blogs to stay on top of what Sam's discussing. It's gonna be hard to stay so disciplined when I don't have the daily reminder...
Tiffany
p.s. so happy I don't have to work today, I actually get to watch the Sammy Cam for the first time.
I don't want the world at my feet, I want the rest of the world to have it's needs met. I can worry about plundering after everyone has the necessities of life.

Then you should be a Capitalism, Conservative just like Rush Limbaugh...
Lionel likes Rush...
I like Rush...
You should too...
Rush tell folks to get out there and make something of themselves..
You can't feed the world...
You can only hope to give them a job...!!!!
Self determination..!!!!
NO matter what you think about Rush..
You must admire his longevity...
This Lionel seems to have been around a while himself...
To last that long you must do something right..
Time will tell...
Red Cross: Iraq Is 'Ever-Worsening'
GENEVA - The situation for civilians in Iraq is "ever-worsening," even though security in some places has improved as a result of stepped-up efforts by U.S.-led multinational forces, the international Red Cross said Wednesday.

MAUREEN DOWD: Daddies in a Panic, and Mommy, Too
Washington
The mind reels at the mind.
The Times’s science section devoted itself yesterday to the topic of Desire, the myriad ways in which the human mind causes the body to get turned on.
It now seems that instead of desire leading to arousal, as researchers once believed, arousal may lead to desire.
The brain, as D. H. Lawrence once wrote, is a most important sexual organ, and men and women have extremely varied responses to sexual stimuli.
As Natalie Angier, The Times’s biology expert, noted, research has shown that women differed from men “in the importance they accorded a man’s physical appearance, with many expressing a comparatively greater likelihood of being aroused by evidence of talent or intelligence — say, while watching a man deliver a great speech.”
This could explain why many Republican women are so frustrated. They have been deprived of the bristly excitement of hearing their men on the stump delivering great speeches for quite some time now.
The Daddy Party, sick with desire for a daddy, is like a lost child. John McCain, handcuffed to the Surge, announced yesterday he has the support of Henry Kissinger. Why not just drink poison? As the Boston Globe columnist Joan Vennochi slyly said, “Leave it to Mitt Romney to shoot himself in the foot with a gun he doesn’t own.”
Rudy Giuliani, already haunted by the specters of Bernard Kerik’s corruption and Judy Nathan’s conjugal confusion, yesterday made things worse. He did the same thing John McCain did in South Carolina in 2000, a sickening pander the Arizona senator told “60 Minutes” Sunday that he did “for all the wrong reasons.” As Marc Santora reports from Montgomery, Rudy said he would leave the decision about whether to fly the Confederate flag over the Alabama State Capitol to the people of Alabama.
Even cable news showed little interest in President Bush’s big speech on Iraq yesterday, as he continued to excoriate Democrats for hurting the troops by trying to get an exit strategy, a day after Moktada al-Sadr’s spokesman denounced the Liberator as “the father of evil, Bush” while Sadr thugs burned and shredded American flags and shouted, “Leave, leave occupier.”
Four years ago, the conservative commentator Kate O’Beirne thrilled at the sight of President Bush strutting in his flight suit and mocked Bill Clinton’s doughy thighs, noting, “Women don’t want a guy to feel their pain, they want a guy to clean the gutters.” But on “Meet the Press” Sunday, she sorrowfully admitted that Republicans had lost their national security swagger because of Iraq, and now have “a real brand name problem” and “a competency problem.”
“It used to be people thought they might not much like big government, but they can run it,” she said of her party’s leaders. “Now they seem to like it fine, but not be able to run it at all.” A point underscored by this week’s Time cover: “Why Our Army Is at the Breaking Point.”
As Adam Nagourney and John Broder report in today’s Times, Republican leaders are despondent and jittery as they watch their major candidates strain in sycophantic ways to prove their ideological credentials even as they see W.’s administration and war turning into an ever-tighter noose. Watching the Democrats’ fund-raising advantage with alarm and astonishment, they concede it will be tough to hold the White House.
Mr. Nagourney and Mr. Broder quote Mickey Edwards, a former Republican congressman from Oklahoma who now lectures at Princeton, saying that the party does not have any candidates who are compelling. “I just don’t know,” he adds, “how they can run hard enough or fast enough to escape the gravitational pull of the Bush administration.”
Except for Larry Birkhead, all the “Who’s your daddy?” brio this week belongs to Senator Barack Obama, who told David Letterman he would not be Hillary’s second on a ticket, and who remarkably managed to beat her on primary fund-raising with a more democratic and recyclable pool of donors.
That feat of strength led to the hilarious spectacle of Terry McAuliffe, who had been using the Bush-Cheney line of you’re-with-us-or-agin’-us to try to bully Democratic fat cats into giving solely to Hillary, telling ABC’s Jake Tapper: “Ultimately, forget the money. You’ve got to get the votes. And right now, Hillary wins in that category.”
Like the panic in the Daddy Party, the crazed sputtering in the once-dominant Mommy Camp is something to behold.
Hillary has been wielding Bill as a bludgeon on support and money. If you were ever behind him, you’d better fall into line behind her. But doesn’t that undermine her presentation of herself as a self-reliant feminist aiming to be the first Madame President? If you can only win by leaning so heavily on your man for your muscle, isn’t that a benign form of paternalism?

Iran dismisses doubts about nuclear statement
By Edmund Blair
TEHRAN (Reuters) - A senior Iranian official dismissed on Wednesday doubts about whether Iran had achieved industrial-scale nuclear fuel production and said scepticism about its programme had proved incorrect in the past.
"Maybe they thought we needed more time to reach the industrial stage but due to the efforts of our specialists we have already reached that stage," the deputy head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation, Mohammad Saeedi, said in comments carried by the Iranian state broadcaster's Web site.
Iran declared on Monday it had begun industrial enrichment of uranium, a process the West fears Iran is mastering so that it can make atomic bombs. It also said it had injected uranium gas feedstock into a batch of 3,000 centrifuges it is building.
The announcement marked a shift from experimental enrichment work Iran had been conducting. Tehran insists its nuclear work is to make fuel for power plants not to build bombs.

hey sneezers and toni.
nurse to see you.
Bush won't sign any legislation that would effectively end the war.
He's determined to accomplish one thing - NOTHING
Ja! :) G'morning!
Bush want's a place in history, and there's no room for mediocre presidents. If he's going down in history, he's going down in flames.
Despite the fact that Sens. John Edwards, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton are not taking part in the Fox News presidential debate cosponsored by the Congressional Black Caucus, the CBC released a statement last night “announcing that it stands by its plan.” The statement said the CBC “will determine the format and select the panelists for the debates.”

he's going down on history at this point. hoping it won't talk.

National Intelligence Director Mike McConnell has circulated a draft bill that would expand the government’s surveillance powers under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, liberalizing how that law can be used. “The court-approved surveillance could include planting listening devices and hidden cameras, searching luggage and breaking into homes to make copies of computer hard drives.”

I use a Mac too - don't bother linking to the stream with the browser. I open Realplayer, click Radio, Find Stations. AAR is one of the first under "Talk."
“Recent graduates of the US Military Academy at West Point are choosing to leave active duty at the highest rate in more than three decades, a sign to many military specialists that repeated tours in Iraq are prematurely driving out some of the Army’s top young officers.”

Sams using Toni's Blog!!!!
Yesterday, the Bush administration agreed to allow North Koreans suspected of money laundering and counterfeiting U.S. dollars to get their money back as part of a deal to “ensure that North Korea shuts down its nuclear reactor by the end of the week.” Former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton blasted the administration’s decision, saying the retreat is “an image of surrender that is going to be hard to erase.”

I have had good luck playing this MP3 stream with iTunes.
And finally: Rush Limbaugh is giving away eight, 80-gig video iPods to people who sign up for his e-mail newsletter. Now, “Phillip Torrone of Make magazine and Adafruit Laser Services, a laser-etching etching service for iPods and MacBooks, has kindly offered to etch OxyContin pills for free onto any Rush Limbaugh iPod.” Torrone stated, “I’ll etch pills all over it for free with my laser. We can then auction it off and give the $ to a group Rush [haters]
Someone IM this to Sam.
I'm streaming on a Mac--I just clicked the link on the blog and am watching/listening to the Sammy Cam in RealPlayer.
A new Bloomberg/LA Times poll finds that six in 10 “Americans expect a recession within a year and disapprove of President George W. Bush’s handling of the economy even though the unemployment rate is at a five-year low.”

The GOP has become a cowering, withered party thanks to their beloved W.
by Joe Sudbay (DC) · 4/11/2007 08:22:00 AM ET
Oh, how the mighty have fallen. For the past seven years, we've been subjected to the media buying Karl Rove's theory of GOP dominance. It wasn't so long ago that the Bush swagger awed the GOP and the media. Those days are so over -- according to Republicans themselves -- they are freaking out.
The NY Times reports on the precipitous demise of the GOP. What a bunch of pathetic, whiny losers they've become. That didn't take long:
Republican leaders across the country say they are growing increasingly anxious about their party’s chances of holding the White House, citing public dissatisfaction with President Bush, the political fallout from the war in Iraq and the problems their leading presidential candidates are having generating enthusiasm among conservative voters.
In interviews on Tuesday, the Republicans said they were concerned about signs of despondency among party members and fund-raisers, reflected in polls and the Democratic fund-raising advantage in the first quarter of the year. Many party leaders expressed worry that the party’s presidential candidates faced a tough course without some fundamental shift in the political dynamic.
Bush is destroying the Republican party even faster than he is destroying America.
The Republicans let Bush reign without any challenge or any oversight. Payback's a bitch.

More pet food recalls, CFO sells stock
by Chris in Paris · 4/11/2007 03:19:00 AM ET
So now it looks like we could be moving from a FDA scandal to an SEC investigation scandal. Insider trading is generally not very well received by the SEC.
The latest update -- the first to involve its Ontario plant -- comes amid news that the chief financial officer of Menu Foods Income Fund sold nearly half his units in the pet food maker less than three weeks before it announced its massive product recall, according to insider trading reports.
Let's hope the SEC is more serious about their work than the FDA, who seem uninterested in protecting consumers and more occupied with providing shelter to big business.

White House Unable To Find A ‘War Czar’ To Own Bush’s Iraq Failures
The White House has been quietly attempting to appoint a “high-powered czar to oversee the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with authority to issue directions to the Pentagon, the State Department and other agencies.” It hasn’t publicly disclosed the position, which was today reported by the Washington Post, because it hoped to “find someone President Bush can anoint and announce for the post all at once.”
But so far, the White House hasn’t found anyone willing to take the job. At least three retired four-star generals have turned down the White House’s offer, including a key administration ally and escalation proponent:
Retired Army Gen. Jack Keane: Keane is an “influential member of the Pentagon’s Defense Policy Board” who met with President Bush in December and convinced him to send more troops to Iraq. He was a strong opponent of the Iraq Study Group’s recommendations, giving the report an “F” grade and saying, “It’s a cover story to accept defeat.”
Retired Marine Gen. John J. “Jack” Sheehan: Sheehan rejected the offer because he “believes that Vice President Cheney and his hawkish allies remain more powerful within the administration than pragmatists looking for a way out of Iraq.” He stated, “There’s the residue of the Cheney view — ‘We’re going to win, al-Qaeda’s there’ — that justifies anything we did. And then there’s the pragmatist view — how the hell do we get out of Dodge and survive? Unfortunately, the people with the former view are still in the positions of most influence.”
Retired Air Force Gen. Joseph W. Ralston also rejected the position, but refused to comment to the Washington Post.
A war czar can’t fix the Bush administration’s mess in Iraq. As Carlos Pascual, former State Department coordinator of Iraq reconstruction noted, “An individual can’t fix a failed policy. So the key thing is to figure out where the policy is wrong.”
(Kevin Drum has more.)

GOP Leaders Worried Bush Dissatisfaction, War, Lackluster Candidates Will Prevent '08 Win

Good on you, WfC!
: )
Glad he let me do that.
Sam,
I'm so pissed about you being "moved". Unfortunately, you were the only reason I was keeping my subscription to XM, so I'll be cancelling my subscription on monday. (I just don't listen much on the weekends... and if you're going to the time slot as mentioned, that means that another show I like... Ring of Fire... is being moved as well.) I'm convinced that these idiots running AAR are out to destroy it... and they're doing a great job. Hope to see you over at Sirius or elsewhere SOON! Peace, my brother!
Wow. I hadn't heard about the lesbian comment from Lionel... about Rachel. Wow.
LMFAO
ANyone record that?
Stephanie is out now!
haha... tell us how you really feel, sam...
Sam,
You said earlier that the military should not be politicized. When the troops get nothing but Rush Limpbowel, and no other point of view, isn't that politicizing the military?
This Lionel sounds like a real 'charmer'....the 'limbaugh of the left'
Mark Green also thinks Limbaugh is extremely talented. Maybe he can snap up Imus, too.
WfC, I might have that. Give me a minute or three.
You sounded great WFC!!!
Is a radio career waiting for you?
wait... who is this Lionel guy who is replacing Sam?
Is he like Imus or something?
Now that the conservative owner of the station in the Salinas/Santa Cruz areas dumped the station, it takes so much effort to listen on the computer that I could easily just go back to NPR and Pacifica and music.
Hiya,
What is this "NovaM" or whatever that is? I'm not too hip with this stuff but I heard that maybe Sam could go over there. Is it satellite radio? Internet radio? I'd appreciate any info.
Thanks,
Doris
sounded good WFC!
well done!
Sam talk about L, we won't repeat it
My prediction, is Sam, in two months will want nothing to do with AAR.
There's a bad moon rising.
It's all about the Green.
Oops, the outing of Stephanie Miller!
Where is there a link about Lionel, or was this just word of mouth? I would like to forward this to a blog I read... except it is scanned by news.google so that would actually make it come up in searches, so maybe I shouldn't.
Dont worry sam,we wont tell anyone
I was scared shitless, toni.
Was talkin' too fast, but didn't know when he'd cut me
I would much rather have Sam stay around, but give Lionel a chance before you bail on Air America in the AM.
He started in my market and is not an infotainer like Limpbaugh at all. He may have some views that stray from the straight ideology of the left, but he defends his positions well.
Looks like Air America is coming down with a terminal case of Gang-Green.
Bob Milgrom
Sam's been asking you to callthe show. You did great and did not sound nervous at all.
Lionel's site
It's got links to his WOR site with podcasts, etc. Not exactly a technologically adept host.
Oh, I had a dream that I asked John Edwards for a hug and he said no.
Thanks Sam for your contribution to our great Democracy.
You are a true patriot.
We will be listening on Sunday.
Peace.
Somebody has to make the sacrifice and listen to Lionel, so that the first time he says something completely racist or sexist we can storm the Greens and get him fired.
Doris, it's internet radio. you can stream it online or buy a podcast subscription. search for 'nova-m.' it'll come up...
I don't trust any man who only uses one name like 'Cher'
Just what AAR (the supposed "left" view) needs... someone whose views stray from the left.!?
This is the beginning of the end of AAR.
I No link Christine, word of mouth from blogger edna ellen poe, who said she listened to it.
I do know that he argues strongly against the ACLU, admires Rush, and dislikes being called liberal or progressive.
He enjoys arguing for arguing's sake, without taking any real position. Self identifies as libertarian.
is the sammycam down? mine is.
wow, that was nervous, Cicero? You sounded great.
That was scripted. I wrote down my thoughts so that I wouldn't be a stuttering mess.
That was extremely nervous.
I will not give Lionel a chance. I support my favorite AAR shows, But AAR itself has lost it's soul and deservers no support.
Sammy cam dropped for about 30 seconds earlier, working again for me.
My 'sammycam' is working fine. Sam looks so adorable when he's listening intently.
I have learned a big lesson from all of this...
never become emotinally attached to a radio show.
It is stupid

Let Sam know if you'd listen in over the internt when AAR no longer controls his show. Let him know he has an audience if he wants it!
Sam,
You don't need airwaves to have a "radio" show. Use the internet through the blog, podcasts, streaming audio and video to continue your show.
Use your connections with the major liberal blogs to distribute the new show, keep your connections for your interviews. If you wanted to do it, you could make it work.
I'm watching the Sammy Cam for the first time...I'm even more sure now that you can do a show from your home as long as you could get a good soundboard off ebay! Buy a Mac and get a podcast up. Charge 10 cents a pop, get a link on Kos, Liberal Oasis, C&L, MyDD, Washington Note...
You're audience is already there, and can be done with little capital as you get off the ground. If you announce it now, you have your audience.
Ashton
I will probably listen to Lionel for a couple of weeks, same as I did for Ed Schultz.
Imagine it will probably work out about the same as that did.
I hate Big Ed
In fact, just don't care about ANYTHING
ever
-conbo
dah! my sammycam is still down. urgh...
I think they should bring Janeanne back to cohost with Lionel. She would tear him to shreds (I love and miss Janeanne!)
Morning, #!

Exactly. It's the next logical step for the multimedia Sam Seder juggernaut.
WfC, I hope that comcast addy is good. I emailed you a sound clip. If you don't mind, I'd like to post it to the MRR Pics group.
I'd be flattered, Mme. Chew. And yeah, the addy works.
I am on a windowsill with my lap top and I swear I will jump if ARR doesn't keep Sam on the air m-f
-conbo
What Ashton and Conbo said... agree with both!
finally, it works again!
Elderta,
Thanks for the info. I'll check it out.

You think I am kidding?
I'll do it!
I'll do it!

*****************
You are not stupid. . . You are addicted to the truth. Try listening to NOVA M Radio. It will never be exactly the same as Sammy but then again, it will be better than the loser AAR is bring in as a Sammy fill in.
it is at least five feet
i could land on my ankle wrong sprain it

Reminded me of Blazing Saddles, #.
Here
Don't jump. This is a vacation. Sam will be back. That L guy will be a disaster. Crossing my fingers.

he is talking to his private blog in his head
shhhhh
it keeps him happy
-conbo
WHY???
When Imus is suspended for his comments, is Lionel getting a big fat promotion after calling Rachel THAT? Isnt it rude as hell and actually some sort of hate speech?
Mark Green, Advocate, hired this guy?
Well, I reported it to GLADD...
Maybe some of the gay alliances should look at this...
I dont like hate speech on AAR...if thats where we're going then Im gone....

When Mr. Seder is put in the corner of Sunday, Air America loses me as a listener.
Good luck to the new owners turning a profit with Lionel!
I know Mr. Mark Green from my time living in NYC. From what I know he did good work as the Consumer Advocate. However, he couldn't win an election if he ran unopposed! He is bringing the same electoral proficiency to Air America's ownership.

haha.....I didn't think his internal blog would be so linear...:)
sammy went down here... dammit!
I've already given Lionel a chance, because he airs on our radio here. He aired on our AAR instead of Majority Report. I will continue to listen to him if I am trapped in a car with only standard radio, but there is no chance I will ever be late for work so I can watch his webcam, no chance I will go to a blog because of him, no chance I will go to the AAR website because of him, and no chance I will be buying things from the AAR store like I used to.
hey WFC!
Did you like my blog drama?
-conbo
cam is fine here....I have to run out to Dr, tho...damn it...
What did Sam say about Lionel (lie-n -el?) and his 90 stations?
sammy cam down here too.
SNAFU
back up... whew!
Yep,the Sammy Cam is Screwed up.Not working!!
Do the show online - do audio and video custom pieces for Josh Marshal and John Amato etc - oh and get Imus on your sunday show to drive the ratings ... thats what its gonna come to - you got to get out of there
Russia threatening new cold war over missile defence
Kremlin accuses US of deception on east European interceptor bases
Luke Harding in Moscow
Wednesday April 11, 2007
Russia is preparing its own military response to the US's controversial plans to build a new missile defence system in eastern Europe, according to Kremlin officials, in a move likely to increase fears of a cold war-style arms race.
The Kremlin is considering active counter-measures in response to Washington's decision to base interceptor missiles and radar installations in Poland and the Czech Republic, a move Russia says will change "the world's strategic stability".
The Kremlin has not publicly spelt out its plans. But defence experts said its response is likely to include upgrading its nuclear missile arsenal so that it is harder to shoot down, putting more missiles on mobile launchers, and moving its fleet of nuclear submarines to the north pole, where they are virtually undetectable.
Russia could also bring the new US silos within the range of its Iskander missiles launched potentially from the nearby Russian enclave of Kaliningrad, they add.
In an interview with the Guardian, the Kremlin's chief spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said Moscow felt betrayed by the Pentagon's move. "We were extremely concerned and disappointed. We were never informed in advance about these plans. It brings tremendous change to the strategic balance in Europe, and to the world's strategic stability."

Where's Katherine "Harry-Ass"
sam is reading his IM's
samsedershow on AOL i believe
Loved it, #.
Made me smile.
they are double counting his weekend show as part of that 90 so it is far less than 90...I wonder if we can get a real count?
AND, of course, his audience is at Night...so, how many of them are available in the day and how rabid are they?
My cam is working too. What Sam just said about AAR just going in a different direction is even more concerning than if they were just trying to get someone who could bring them more stations.
Ni wiggle here...working fine...perfect...
My cam is working.

THINGS TO DO LIST
(1) Boycott Lionel
(2) Kick War Dog's ass off the blog.
My newest email to management.
I think it is interesting that there are no comments allowed on Mr. Green's statement to all of us yesterday.
Maybe you don't realize the amount of energy and loyalty Sam has showed this station over the years. Many times Air America was 'Sam Seder all the time' radio. He was always there for this concept of what Air America once was. Stabbing a loyal person in the back is always upsetting and it's always wrong.
Sam is not the only one being screwed we the loyal listeners are also being treated horribly. Many of us have been there from the beginning; some have gone so far as to support this station financially. None of us are being considered in this decision. As if all our years of loyalty don't matter.
We have watched the origanal daily hosts all slowly disappear. We were all very excited to hear all these voices say, over the air, things we have expressed ourselves or held deeply within our hearts. We all shared in our own way the ups and downs not only of the station but also of each individual personality we have all come to know.We have watched the inexperienced grow in both talent and knowledge.
We feel betrayed.
We watched Mark and Mike forced out. Chuck banished to a weekend end spot and Mark suffering a similar fate by being given only one hour in the wee morning hours; both being forced to the back of the bus. We're now left with only three, Mark, Randi and Racheal who we are all very worried about after your recent callous actions. This has also left us concerned about the weekend people Chuck, Mike and Bobby and Laura.
There's a lot more going on here than just a simple concern over listening to some show we may have grown accustomed to listening to. A lot more. You have failed to recognize that. We all welcomed you here and now we're feeling sorry, let down and deeply disappointed.
Thanks, sunhine!:)
Fireside Chat with Sam Seder
What did Sam say about Lionel (lie-n -el?) and his 90 stations?""
that his stations are split between his daily and weekend shows
Keep it the Sam Seder Show for continuity. If he goes to a different station he will be identified right away.
Sunday show title:
A dipshit took my weekly gig and all I got was this lousy weekend spot.

http://www.myspace.com/thejingoswithcaptainmarblehead
come on sammy play them on the air!! I want to be famous like you someday!!!
well, whatever...what Sam said that was important is that this is a change in direction for the entire network...they want the whole thing to be different...which I take to mean, less substance, less hard information, more NY-centric....
Compare Imus to Lionel's gay slur against Rachel!!!
Come on Sam...go out with guns blazing!
Sammy,
You look thinner. You workin out man?
How was the audition?
B-rad
Sam, this is complete bullshit - you deserve your own daily show. Nova M is coming to XM in May, perhaps Sammy too?
You too, #.
Many blessings!

Listen, Sam's show on Sunday is going to make L's ratings look like shit. Sam do a "round table" (in person) with the bloggers and a chosen reporter to show them how reporting is done. Every month you get devote a show to the "lamest reporters of the week".

Sams IM is on AIM, samsedershow is the buddy name.
yea!!!
Rollins as Rudy!
Sam,
This really makes me sad, and mad both. I can't believe they are replacing you with Lionel of all people. He's pretty lame. I don't know who makes these decisions, but they have a problem, evidently with anyone who is talented at AAR! Randi better watch her behind! If only you were a publically owned company, so we could buy stock and as shareholders fire the person who makes these decisions!
eya Elderta
good to read ya!
say hi to the gang at the ranch,
i'll be back shortly...
If the 'Racheal slur' is true, I am not only offended as a gay male, but also as a person with a 'thick neck'. I just want us to have our facts straight before we launch our 'TNAL' (thick necks against lionel) campaign.
EMAIL the Program Director for AAR!!!!!!! dberstein@airamerica.com per another web site.......c&l
