Thom Hartmann will not be on the air this week - father has died

[patrioticliberal]

Thom Hartmann's father died yesterday. You won't be hearing him this week on the radio.

Bill Crowley will be filling in for Rachel Maddow, Sam Seder will be filling in for Randi Rhodes, Jon Elliott of KLSD will be filling in for Sam, and Laura Flanders will fill in for Mike Malloy.

1. Damn

I read that article Thom wrote about his father, and how the company he worked at allowed him to be exposed to asbestos and other substances throughout his working life :cry:

4. For Thom's father:

For people who don't yet know Thom, please get to know him, he is working himself to exhaustion - joyously - to motivate us to return this nation to the ideals on which it was founded.

9. Condolences, Thom.My dad passed last year, but I still feel his presence.

Parents leave a big impression on you, whoever you are. Your dad must have been a great man.

God bless you and your family

10. Thom often spoke of his dad on the air

Just last week, Thom mentioned his dad's political conservatism.

My condolences to the entire Hartmann clan.

The senior Mr. Hartmann sure raised one helluva son.
