I gotta hunnert bux fer the first teevee lefty talker to ask the right wing flacks .......

...... "who asked you to be here tonight and who told you what to say?"

The screech monkeys are incredible. They all do the VERY SAME SCHTICK.

Talk fast and loud. String words together, no matter they mean, so long as you keep the microphone.

NEVER allow yourself to be interrupted. ALWAYS interrupt the other guy.

Feign outrage when you're challenged. Mock the righteous indignation from the other guy.

They all have the very same arguments, not just today but EVERY day. They are just pipes on the Great Right Wing Wurlitzer.

I want just ONE lefty to ask just one of the screech monkeys who assigns them to duty on the talk shows all day and **how**much**they're**paid** ?

1. Good one. I thought BillO was going to have a shit hemorrhage

right on the air tonight; he was LOSING IT over Tim Russert being a FAR LEFT tool and NBC being a FAR LEFT outfit and I thought blood was going to start bursting out of his eyeballs or something.
I was watching just for a few minutes during the commercials on Countdown, and holy cats, he was tweaking out more than usual.

2. I imagine that among them there's much fear and wonder over who is next

People must pass each other in the hallways of the White House and FoxNews and wonder who might decide to spill bigly.

Not an answer to your question. But it popped into my head when I finished reading your posting. I guess because you asked about how much they're paid and I wondered if people will get raises to help them decide to keep their traps shut.

3. Watching the CNN talking heads joyously spinning and vomiting half truths coupled with non-sensical

optimism, while in the same breath iterating $4.00 gas and 40% food inflation, makes my head explode each and every morning.
