Edited on Wed May-16-07 04:53 PM by bigdarryl
According to Micheal(bald headed)Smerconish and also a Imus co host who ever the fuck that is will join Gregory. i don't know where he's getting his info from maybe he found out his right wing ass isn't getting the slot.

3. This morning David Gregory was doing the show
and those guys from Imus (Chris, Lou and Charles McCord) were there (not in studio), along with some lady.

17. I hope Imus takes CBS for a bundle
they encouraged him to be controversial then when he was they screwed him over hoping that no one would point the finger at them where it belongs.

26. What part of Stephanie didn't want to do the show
Don't you understand. I keep hearing about how they should bring her back but she turned down the job. SHE didn't want it, it is not MSNBC's fault.

5. They had Imus' old news reader and sportscaster on today
Edited on Wed May-16-07 05:14 PM by C_U_L8R
They were both okay ... that I recall.

But David needs some work. He's trying to make
everyone happy and needs to get a point of view.

I liked old snarky press briefing David who would not
take bullshit for an answer. What happened to that guy???

25. Oh boy, this ain't gonna work
Gregory is half asleep and doesn't have an angle. The news reader is Imus' old sidekick. It was so obvious a few minutes ago he nearly called Gregory the "I Man." He paused and caught himself, then said David.

They should have done a complete makeover. This looks like an Imus show minus Imus, which is a force.

8. too bad, I like David doing his WH correspondent gig
:evilgrin:

MSNBC flails around awhile before they come up with someone really good like KO. Maybe David will be OK, tho.

9. I saw some of the show this morning with David Gregory ..
he said he was there temporarily. I'd welcome him full time.
I hated the woman though .. she was putting David down for being from L.A. The two guys that had been with Imus were pretty tacky too.

15. I think David's training as an "objective" journalist maybe
is preventing him from giving his opinions. He probably feels uncomfortable.

14. Will this take Gregory out of the White House?
I can't stand Gregory. He's no Imus.

Bring Imus back and stop this nonsense. Why does MSNBC need a fake Imus anyway? Aren't they creative enough to design a new format for their morning drive time?

23. I'll take Imus any day!
If you don't like him you can shut him off. I found his show to be very informative. There were days when he annoyed me and I used my choice to turn him off. There is no one who can replace him, he is one of a kind.

19. Darryl, getcher ass on here for a second and 'splain sumpin...

You said.. "according to Michael Smerconish" (or whatever the hell his name is)

Are you actually listening to that dirtbag??

If you are.. you are in the penalty box bud!!!!!

Just when you were doing so good.. listening to Randi Rhodes and other progressives and even reporting in about their topics..

...And just when you FINALLY stopped quoting FAUX idiots. (After enough complaints, I haven't heard you quote those A-holes since last time we asked you not to) (Yayyyy Darryl!)

But Darryl.... please don't tell me you snuck back to wingnut airwaves??

22. AwwwWwww Darryl..

I don't like Imus.. but you're still a sweetheart..

(well, sometimes that is. )

There are quite a few links on-line where you can listen to AAR programs off the internet: http://www.airamerica.com/

We were lucky in Anchorage.. We were the 11th city to get Air America when they first started up, and they've been going super strong ever since!! We also have Stephanie Miller and Big Eddie.

After AAR started up here a few years ago, it spawned off a local progressive show. That show became super popular, and now we have THREE local shows!! 7 hours of progressive talk every day! Shannyn, CC, and Aaron rocking the Anchorage airwaves!
