On Tuesday’s Radio Show…

May 19th, 2009, 6:00 PM EDT

Elizabeth Edwards sits down with Alan to discuss the details of her recently released book, Resilience: Reflections on the Burdens and Gift’s of Facing Life’s Adversities.

• Former California Gov. Gray Davis, who was ousted from office in the 2003 Recall, weighs in on the potential economic impact of the Golden State’s budget proposition vote earlier today.

• RNC Chairman Michael Steele announced that it’s time for the GOP to stop playing defense and take President Obama “head on.”  Alan will examine the significance of Steele’s rallying remarks.

  1. Aimee, Nice to see you doing the show promos!!!
    A woman’s touch definitely needed here!!!
    And, (unlike what is frequent in Alan & Joels’s posts) typo free!! GO AIMEE!!

  2. On Tuesday’s radio show Alan will tell a whopper that makes Nancy’s look like no big deal……….

    Alan actually said that Nan has been entirely consistent and has not made any inconsistent statements in regard to this latest Democrat issue…….

    I saw five clear examples of inconsistent statements today.

    Hey Alan, she’s in real trouble….and not because of Nan bashing…..but because she actually lied, and then made contradictory statements in her attempt to extricate herself from the problem that she created….

    Nan is to blame for Nan’s situation….

    But your chivalrous attempt to twist the truth and be her knight in shining armor has been duly noted…..

    I’m just wondering who Hollywood will cast in the leading roles when they turn this into a movie…..

    I’m thinking Meryl Streep or Susan Sarandon will play Nancy, and Tim Currie or Quinton Tarrantino will portray Alan………..

    If anyone has any better ideas for these starring roles feel free to post them………

    Boy, Trees, you really, really, REALLY hate Nancy Pelosi. That’s too bad, because I’m sure she doesn’t hate you.

    I’m sure she’d be happy to know that you blame her for the Dick’s decision to authorize torture.

    Hate her??

    No, I don’t hate her.

    Do I want her to face the music for her divisive partisanship, and phoniness??

    Yes, absolutely.

    She has called waterboarding torture, which it isn’t, and she has wanted to persecute people over this issue, which she herself understood and approved of.

    She is unfit to be the speaker of the house.

    Hatred has nothing to do with it…….

    “She is unfit to be the speaker of the house.”

    And you call her partisan and phony? Wow! That’s a stretch. You’re basing your opinion (and that’s all it is since you have no facts) on your perception. Not a good idea. Just my opinion.

    I think this statement of yours reveals a fascinating glimpse into the liberal mind and how it works…..

    It is not objective, but selective in its function….

    TDro, you make the bold assertion that I really, really, REALLY hate….Nancy Pelosi (I don’t, but because you’re not interested in truth you have no qualms about making an obviously false statement)

    And that Nancy Pelosi doesn’t hate me. (how could she, she doesn’t know me)

    TDro, it would appear from this statement alone that you have no interest in uncovering truth, but instead would prefer to manufacture lies and attempt to make them seem truthful, and this is exactly what Nancy Pelosi is up to………..

    “TDro, it would appear from this statement alone that you have no interest in uncovering truth,”

    Actually, your diverting attention away from the Dick (who actually AUTHORIZED torture) and onto Pelosi suggests that you hope she takes the fall for Cheney….

    “and this is exactly what Nancy Pelosi is up to………..”

    And you know this how? From Hannity? O’Reilly? Limbaugh? Give me a break. Actually I hope this childish witch hunt by the republicans continues. It’s great for the democrats.

    Actually I hope the truth comes out. But in the end, the Dick was the one who authorized torture, and he should be the one who’s held accountable.

    Oh so now I’m a liar? Gee, I wonder what Jesus would think of your vile hatred of your fellow men (and women)?

    TDro my friend, you are becoming confused. Being interested in the truth and pursuing the truth does not make one a “hater” of those who are untruthful…………

    Being able to recognize and identify truth doesn’t require “hate” as an operating mechanism….all it requires is a “love” for the truth……

    Expressing the truth does not make me a hater because I’ve contrasted the truth against a lie, it makes me truthful…….defending a lie and contrasting it against the “truth” is the definition of untruthfulness or deceit……..

    Nancy, lied.

    And she attempted to not only subvert the truth, which is that she supported waterboarding, but she then attempted to persecute someone for the very same views she held herself……..and for purely political reasons………..

    Waterboarding is not torture, anymore than spraying pepper spray in the face of an assailant is torture………..

    Anything that is against the will of the perpetrator, and is forcibly enforced, could be construed as torture……everything becomes torture………

    Enhanced interrogation techniques are vital to the security of this Nation, and even Obama knows this.

    It’s why Nancy is alone in the wilderness on this one…….

    Her own party will not come to her aid.

    Will you join Nancy in her campaign of deceit??

    Oh so now I’m a liar?

    let’s look at my statement carefully…….

    hmm…….it seems you have decided to edit the whole sentence and have preferred instead of publishing the whole sentence, to carefully cut part of it out, thereby removing a vital part (the art of taking something out of context)……why, how honest of you……here let’s restore it…….

    TDro, it would appear from this statement alone that you have no interest in uncovering truth, but instead would prefer to manufacture lies and attempt to make them seem truthful, and this is exactly what Nancy Pelosi is up to………..

    It seems that I was suggesting that you would appearto have no interest in uncovering the truth……….

    And I believe that you have revealed this to be true based upon your careful editing of my words……..

    So thank you for taking my suggestion of your impropriety, and establishing it as factual.

    “Enhanced interrogation techniques are vital to the security of this Nation, and even Obama knows this.”

    Sure. If you’re trying to extract false information like, oh maybe, “did Iraq have something to do with 9/11?”

    “Will you join Nancy in her campaign of deceit??”

    Sure. She didn’t authorize torture. But I see you’re willing to give the Dick on pass on his deceit.

    And one more thing, Trees. Keep up your hatred, bigotry and war mongering. Your god will reward you with a nice warm place next to him – in hell.

  3. Elizabeth Edwards and Gray Davis … those are good guests you had on tonight.

    Now if only your wing-nut callers would dial it back a little … sheesh
