  I am going through my radio archives again playing catch-up after being away for a week, and came across two radio shows that overall paint an interesting picture of today's political climate. The first was Sean Hannity's interview with Vice President Cheney. As an undecided voter, I like to listen to as many of the pundits as I can. Let's face it, Hannity is no more "fair and balanced" than The Majority Report. But he often makes some good points and I like listening to him. His interview with Cheney was very straight-forward and well thought out. Cheney came across as an intelligent leader and expressed his thoughts with clarity.
Regardless of what you think of his politics, there is no way Air America is right when they claim him to be literally insane. Next I turned my attention to my Majority Report archives for the week. No great interviews... In any case, the first thing that raised my eyebrow was an interview with a boy pretending to be the son of one of the Swifties. He talked about how his father drank all day and described the gifts that he was receiving from the Republicans for his father's statements against Bush. I know that the boy was false because they admitted it later in the show. It was a little odd to think that instead of finding information that would contrast the statements that have been made against Kerry's war record, they pull a stunt like this. The final straw came when Janeane Garofalo, when asked why she did not want to attend the upcoming Republican convention, said that she had better ways to spend her days than hanging around "a bunch of mother fuckers and white crackers.
" Now, in all fairness, she did elaborate and state that "white crackers" was not strictly a southern reference and that there were "white crackers" in all parts of the country. PLONK! Never again will my server capture Air America radio for later listening. Any credibility Janeane had went right out the window with her hateful and racist remarks. And yes, should Sean Hannity ever make such a reference I will cease listening to his network as well. My only question is "where is the outrage? " Perhaps you should reevaluate your small part in the talk radio arena, Janeane, when even such outrageous remarks fail to illicit a response... could it be because no one cares what you think? I certainly do not anymore.
