I caught Goldy’s half hour on “The Dori Monson Show.” I’m not blowin’ smoke; I think the chief did good. I’m not sure if Dori knows the meaning of “context,” however, and I encourage Dave Ross to highlight the word in the KIRO On-Air Staff’s Dictionary. It might prove useful.
That said…
Did you hear the first half of the hour? Dori’s guest was Neal Boortz, author and talk show host. Dori spent the half hour basically smooching Boortz on the rear. I mean, really, Monson was laying it on thick. He was feeding him the “Local Outrage of the Day.” Dori told him a story of a school that taught communitarian values to students by forcing the kids to tear down their “Lego town” and rebuild it using Marx-Leninist teachings. Boortz then launched into the evils of government-run schools. Dori had to interrupt the guy to tell him it was a private school… Oh well, I guess its a matter of “context.”
Lastly…
Boortz happens to be a libertarian. Dori saaaays he’s a libertarian, but he’s a Bush Buddy on the Iraq War and the Drug War. It’s like those girls you knew of in high school, the ones who went to Third Base with entire football team but declared themselves virgins. Right. Methinks Dori needs to own up to the fact that he’s one of the 30% that thinks Bush is doing a super job.
I don’t want to be too hard on D-Mon. After all, he gave Goldy his big break. Radio is a business. When I hear my liberal buddies whine about how Dori’s a douche bag and an idiot, I have to tell them to just turn off the radio. Dori may be wrong on everything, but he’s got the radio gig down pat.
Even if he’s got a “man-crush” on Neal Boortz.
Hmmmmmm….
Dori has a man crush. Dori is upset, not that Adams Apple Annie said faggot, but that Goldy used the term. (Put aside the context issue)
It makes me wonder if the word is hitting just a bit too close to home for Dori, in a most personal way.
I am not saying he is a faggot…..
I’m just askin’…….
Folks like Monson and Boortz and Shiers prove one thing very clearly: Libertarians are Republicans who won’t accept responsibility for their support of the latter. All three unfailingly support Bush. All three unfailingly support the Iraq War. All three support Ann Coulter. Heck, Boortz supports Scooter Freakin’ Libby. But when they are called to account for any missteps, they yell “But I’m a Libertarian!” They don;t have the courage to stand behind their words nor their politics.
I turned Dorki off long ago, as I can stand him for only about 15 seconds these days. Maybe 2 minutes on a GOOD day.
Is it just me or has Dorki turned into a _unt a WHOLE lot more often than a few years back?
The person I REEEEEALLY feel sorry for is the program director, as KIRO can’t seem to find anybody with a few extra brain cells for that time.
When leftist moonbats are given too much power, they start taking away the freedoms that we cherish so much — the same freedoms their original supporters thought they protecting by putting leftist moonbats into power in the first place.
This happened in the Soviet Union and eastern Europe. Now the leftist moonbats are starting to do the same thing in western Europe. Look at the latest restrictions being imposed on freedom of speech and freedom of the press by the leftist moonbats in France:
France bans citizen journalists from reporting violence
The French Constitutional Council has approved a law that criminalizes the filming or broadcasting of acts of violence by people other than professional journalists. The law could lead to the imprisonment of eyewitnesses who film acts of police violence, or operators of Web sites publishing the images, one French civil liberties group warned on Tuesday.
The council chose an unfortunate anniversary to publish its decision approving the law, which came exactly 16 years after Los Angeles police officers beating Rodney King were filmed by amateur videographer George Holliday on the night of March 3, 1991. The officers’ acquittal at the end on April 29, 1992 sparked riots in Los Angeles.
If Holliday were to film a similar scene of violence in France today, he could end up in prison as a result of the new law, said Pascal Cohet, a spokesman for French online civil liberties group Odebi. And anyone publishing such images could face up to five years in prison and a fine of €75,000 (US$98,537), potentially a harsher sentence than that for committing the violent act.

Libertarians are economic anarchists who want the police to protect them from their enemies.
When leftist moonbats are given too much power
POPE, YOU’VE BEEN HANGIN’ OUT ON THE RIGHT-WING INTERNETS TOO MUCH.
YOU WINGNUT.

Poopie, you say the “moonbats” want to take away freedom, so why don’t you explain the patriot act….
Habeus Corpus = Gone
Magna Carta = Over
Torture = Allowed
Rendition = Allowed
Wiretaps without warrants = Allowed
Right to a lawyer = No way
Red Cross Access = No
Geneva Conventions = Sure Buddy
How many articles of the constitution has the Bushies, and the Republicon congress voided? All because Bush ignored all those warnings and allowed our country to be attacked. Even with warning bells going off all over we were about to be hit, Bush didn’t even have a meeting to discuss maybe tightening airport security, or anything else.
Even if Bush’s buddies didn’t blow up the towers (Building 7 just fell down for no reason, even though the owner claimed he “had it pulled”) ignoring over 100 in your face warnings we were going to be attacked proves complicity.
Bush had to know about 9-11. Either that of he wanted us to be attacked, and left us wide open. He got his “Pearl Harbor Event” he wanted…..
Dori..Sheirs …
I am not upset that they are Republicans, I am upset that they have no respect for truth. Sheirs is on a diatribe abut their being some controversy about global warming. That would be great IF he bothered to read any of the foks who question the extent, NOT the nature, of the problem.
The same lack of interest int truth supports swift boating, the Obama in a Madreassah, BS, creationism, Bush’s military service, tax cuts fr the rich, the death tax, etc etc.
These guys are dangerous.
The more lies the Republicons tell, and the more crimes they commit, the more their supporters line up to defend them.
How does it feel to defend traitors? Convicted traitors, and their soon to be convicted masters?
Dr. All Facts prescribes electro-shock treatment for all cons. Maybe having the treason shocked out of your pea brains may someday make you Republicons Americans, and not NAZI wannabees.
Let’s try an example. Why don’t we out all the undercover CIA agents looking for “real” WMD’s. We could destroy all the CIA’s clandestine operations. The more wide open America is, and the more we are attacked, the more money the Military Industrial Complex will make…. Let’s not have the White House stop at Valerie Wilson, let Bush out them all!!!! We need more wars!!!!!!
Anyone still supporting Republicons, and the Bush Crime Family these days belongs in a straight jacket. If you want to run from reality enough to support Bush, you obviously can’t function in society. You are a menace. Vermin. Scum.
Just don’t call yourselves Americans. Americans believe in justice, and the rule of law. Not dictators.
Don’t bother 17-time loooooooser Pope-A-Dope with facts. He’s a terrible lawyer, a failed politician and has been soundly and utterly rejected by every level of peer he can claim. His opinions carry about as much weight as Puffybutt’s.
Mr. Pope
When anyone on either side of the political spectrum gets too much power, it tends to be abused. This has been one of the lessons that the last few years with Republicans dominating both the administrative and legislative branches of the federal government has taught us.
As it appears that we will have firm control of both branches in a couple of years, this is a “cautionary tale” that we should take to heart.
Fortunately, the Democratic Party has a rather wide spectrum of political viewpoints within it. If the Republicans don’t do a rather amazing turnaround and clean up their act in very short order, I expect that they will effectively vanish from the scene, and we’ll probably end up splitting into two parties ourselves, just to fill the vacuum.
While I think we need a couple of years of effectively one-party rule just to clean up the mess left by the neo-cons, I’m usually in favor of divided government. It helps to keep everyone honest and allows all viewpoints to be heard. It also tends to slow or stop unnecessary legislation.
Unfortunately, people in government seem to feel a need to govern, even when just getting out of the way would be a better answer. We’ve seen the Republicans do this, and we’ll probably see the Democrats do it too.
In the first couple of years of Democratic leadership of the government, I expect to see the worst of the pro-corporation and anti-privacy laws rolled back, “tort reform” stuffed back into the box it came in, and environmental laws brought back to their previous strength. Essentially, getting the “playing field” back to something approaching level.
Then we’ll go back to a divided government, where everyone complains about “gridlock”, and nothing gets done except for those things that are so obviously important that both sides have to agree.
I’ll have a little smile on my face, as it will suit me just fine.

Who’s the chief? If it’s Goldy you’re referring to, you need to enlarge your cirlce of firends.

Dude, don’t use words like “methinks.” It makes you sound like a pompous ass.

Actually lucy, Libertarians want Republicans out of their private lives and Democrats out of their wallets. We want small government that ain’t interested in foreign adventures. The War on Drugs, War on Poverty, and the Iraq Mis-adventure are all failures.
Hey, Libertarian. Don’t get after Will about saying “methinks”. I use that term all the time and…
Oh, wait. I am something of a pompous ass. ;-) Oh, well. At least I try to be good natured about it.
Methinks.
Libertarians are just republicans who smoke too much dope.
I didn’t think Libertarians NEEDED to smoke dope. Isn’t that a congenital condition?
Dori and Shiers are only “Libertarians of convenience.”
Hey when was the last time a government official as high-ranking as Scooter was convicted of a felony? Oh yes, that’s right, when Ronnie RayGun was in office and the Iran Contra scam was uncovered.
Let’s see – is there a pattern here? Publicans convicted in the mid-80s….Publicans convicted in 2007 – looks like Publicans have a problem obeying the law.
It’s really sad to see more and more evidence here that Richard (if that’s really him, and not one of the other wingers using his name) has been drinking rather deeply of the Kool-Aid. Sure seems in contrast from the postings we were seeing last year, with a conservative viewpoint, to be sure, but respectfully presenting well thought out points, supported by credible research, and devoid of the slogans and insults we’ve grown accustomed to from the likes of Puddy, jch et al.
So, was that the real you back then, Richard, or your version of baby-kissing while you were running for office?
re 4: If I were you, Richard Pope, I’d double check the facts when you get your news from Faux News.Jean-Louis Debré (born September 30, 1944 in Toulouse) is a conservative French politician. On February 23, 2007, he was appointed president of the Constitutional Council of France by president Jacques Chirac,[1] replacing Pierre Mazeaud.

re 12: How about Republicans getting into your wallet by using the strategic oil reserve to artificially manipulate the price of oil.
There more than one way to get into your wallet.
Hi David,
Is grade D man going to come onto your show and discuss inappropriate homophobic responses to having different language consequences for different sex oriented people? I can’t remember Dori ever having another KIRO host/hostess on his show and grilling them about anything. Does Dori know he’s too macho to be gay?
Cheers,
I don’t understand how a guy who refers to breasts as boobies and occasionally uses his creepy predator whisper, and has an obsession with sex stories, child molesting stories, bestiality, and strippers can coach a girls basketball team.
Oh context.
