Talk radio should be fun today.

The crushing defeat of McConnell and the right-wing obstructionists on the filibuster vote has created a firestorm like we haven't seen in a long time.

No doubt, much of the anger will be directed toward John McCain for making a deal with Harry Reid. In effect, he is the new Minority Leader.

What can they do if they can no longer obstruct? Mitch McConnell has been very good at obstructing. But it appears that he has been thrown under the bus? There is a new spirit of bi-partisanship that does not sit well with the anti-government, Tea Party crowd.

Nobody knows how long it will last but for the time being, it should be a lot of fun. This vote has divided the Republican Party in ways we could not predict. The Republican Party has to have the Tea Party right-wingers to win but the right-wing is pissed.

My hunch is that this story will push Zimmerman and Snowden off the top of the topic list today. Turn your radio on.

"Reasonable Republican" is bad news for the ConTP'rs-losing their control over the GOP stymies their "takeover" and is very is untimely....

I absolutely cannot listen to hate radio. The sound of Limpball's voice alone irritates me. Fingernails dragging on a chalkboard irritating. Even the brief snips of video from his show shown on the MSNBC programs irritate me. Disgustingly bigoted man, sitting there bloviating about his latest outrage, man boobs jiggling as he moves, searching for something to say.

I'm glad the man is losing his advertisers, and I'm glad the company he works for is losing millions because of him. He isn't honest with his listeners, he doesn't tell the truth about anything, he promotes hatred and racism. He may have the right to do that, but I sure can't stand listening to him.

I hope the right wing completely falls apart. I hope they splinter in so many directions they couldn't elect a fly to a spider web.
