"Vagina DeGette," Anyone?

So the President can't pronounce her name,

probably because ... well ... we all slip up once in a while. Then the radio show guy has some fun with it and furthers his humor by putting some Freudian spin into the mix.

Boring, NEXT.

That's right

Keep telling yourself that.

Then tell me how this can help win the soccer-mom vote in 2010.

As long as talk radio is the voice of the republican party, you'll have a hard time reclaiming the majority. I'm glad that anchor is around your neck.

Radio hosts don't care about the soccer mom vote

They don't even care about Republicans winning.  They can be very successful and make lots of money with their loyal following. It may be shrinking in terms of political strength but is still a huge reliable audience demo.  Having Dems in power to attack will be just great for them. You didn't think Limbaugh and his clones actually cared about an agenda, did you?

Just as James Watt was good for the Sierra club

Obama is good for Limbaugh.

Libertad, though, may actually care about elections. And while he may dismiss Peter Boyles as so much theater, not everyone will.

Yeah, so many Moms listen to this show...

They are at work (home, office or road) or working out listening to their ipod.

I love the Freudian spin though ... some words they can't say on the radio and this gets the humor across without any need for special nuance.

So what is it? What's the punchline? Tee hee hee, DeGette has a "vagina?" What is the point of this if it's not to childishly DeGette--simply because she is a woman?

ps I think she's been called worse (different word, same context) by those in her own party.

Remember a few years back when she went on TV election day trashing the Denver voting ... if I recall Hickenlooper was so overjoyed. Was she right, hell yes. Did it hack off Hickenlooper, you bet it did.

So as I said ...

I would expect this from 3rd graders. Grown men don't act like this--especially not on the public airwaves.

I just got back from behind the Zion Curtain...

and(although I did get a couple of diaries up)have been checking in here less often (and none today), but this is truly over the top.

I loved how some posters here, Caldera, and others have been excusing swastika guy's  presence on stage at a controlled (and state GOP pushed and possibly permitted) rally on the West Steps of the Colorado Capitol, and that it does not at all reflect at all (let alone poorly) on the state GOP.   Now Tadpole's efforts to defend this crude (and repeated) remark as subtle humor while a state GOP senator chuckles along like a middleschooler.

Driving back I dialed into Hannity part of the way, his show now called 'conservatism in exile' perhaps picked up from his days secretly listening to Amy Goodman to hear what good radio journalism is like.  

In any case its pretty desperate stuff.  I was thinking along the lines of what I read above, that he's just milking his audience with all his arrogant grandstanding and over-the-top Obama-bashing.  Keeps the ad revenue up.  (Ironically including an ad for help getting in on the government credit card 'bail out' to wipe away debt, but I digress).

The Faux Noise crew, Hannity, Beck etc. are totally psyched for the next 8 years, its definitely good for business.  As long as the GOP--state or otherwise--is playing along, begging for forgiveness when they happen to vary from the Rushbot talking points, and giggling at crass humor, their days 'in exile' are far from over.  

Oftentimes people are exiled for reasons--and it does mean that someone sent them away.  When your a political party that's probably NOT a good sign.  A huckster, perhaps then it is.  The GOP should think carefully how they want their image defined, and how it might get them (or not) to 50% + 1.

Everyday its something new.  At some point it will become an embarrassment, even to me.  Right now I find it amusing, and its certainly a GOP liability.

I actually remember Fox being somewhat decent in the 90s

They used to have Jeff Cohen from FAIR on as a regular guest. As someone who thinks the role of the media should be to view everything with a critical eye, and as someone who wasn't a big fan of Clinton, I thought they were kind of useful.

It's weird to think about it now, but there was a time when Fox would occasionally discuss things seriously, while CNN and MSNBC would always be full of stupid shit. Doubt that'll happen again though.

I will tell you what pisses me off

I think Representative DeGette will survive the boys in the back row of the radio third grade which is the boyles show.

But that sob Boyles went after a kid in high school who reported seeing "guns" in a car.  Boyles called him "smoker boy" and implied he was a "rat" and boyles talked about how he knew "rat hunters" whose job it was to "hunt rats." The "power of the morning show" to  target a high school kid in a threatening way is truly horrific.  I wrote that up here...and none of you guys gave a good god damm.  No sex, I guess.

So spare me the "I am shocked, shocked to hear women exploited" on hate radio and  yuck it up about Diana, who can certainly handle herself.    ...but who is going to bell that dry drunk for going after  kids???

It is not OKAY to bully kids.  

If we are lucky, the only thing which happens when adults bully kids is that the kids grow up to be drunks...and bullies, and  get gigs on hate radio keeping the myth alive that picking on people who can't fight back is the only way to win.

If Boyles didn't have a morning show

I'd wonder if he wasn't sundowning with these episodes. Seriously, he's always been a nut but lately (including the rant dwyer references) he's sounded like he's really come unmoored.

Well, I don't know if it means anything...

But Boyles did write in a recent column of his that he's "detoxed" off of his psych meds. Check it out:

Does Boyles need his KHOW paycheck?

Way past time for him to go.

I used to listen pretty regularly some years ago, but it sounds like he is perpetually off of the deep end now.

I'll never forget listening to him and getting my introduction to what we now call 9/11.  "This just came in. A plane has crashed into one of the World Trade towers. Don't know if it is a private or commercial plane."  I went and turned on the TV (how rare!) and, as they say, the rest is history.
