Thanks, George and Dick!  What, you think Putin’s going to be making googly-eyes at VP Lite and that the Pakistani [...]

A listener wrote me the other day to give me a swift kick in the a** over what he regarded as “going soft” on Palin.  Reason?  On the show this week, Bruno and I discussed how we agree with the general consensus that, while Palin’s legislative record is certainly fair game for criticism, her family [...]

The Bush Administration is so awesome, and totally loves the free market.
