Today. 10:06 AM Eastern time. Your local radio station. Commander Guy. The Angry Rakkasan. Mano-a-mano.
I've been waiting for this moment since the day I returned from Iraq. Tomorrow morning I’ll be delivering the Democrats’ response to the President’s weekly radio address.
I’m this guy. And because of my work with VoteVets.org, I was selected to write and deliver the rebuttal to President Bush on behalf of the Democratic Party this week (though I think I’m speaking for a lot more Americans than just the Democratic Party when I slam The Decider). I worked on it last night, recorded it this afternoon, and will listen to it air on Saturday morning.
I’d love to give you all the text, but that would spoil the fun. As you could probably guess though, it’ll be about Iraq. I’d also like to tell you all which station it will be on, but there’s no standard station (or even time) across the country. I found out why when I accessed the White House page regarding the President’s weekly radio address. The site said that the address:
is made available to all radio stations at 10:06 AM Eastern Time each Saturday. However, not all stations that air the Radio Address do so at that specific Eastern Time. I would encourage you to contact your local all-news format stations' programming departments in your area to find out more.
So that’s that. Please tune in if you can. And remember that that’s a fellow Kossack working hard to further expose what an unmitigated disaster the President is.
I’d also like to thank all of you out there who have supported my writing here for the past ten months. Without your support and interest, I wouldn’t have had this opportunity to tell America how the military really feels about Mr. Bush's war.
UPDATE: You'll also be able to hear the address at a number of places online. Please see some of the comments below for individual web sites.
