Almost too many Headlines Today...
TGIF!!!!
And I'm not a job hater, but ... loooong week. We're trying to get a little bit ahead so we can get a little breathing room next week -- working a little extra each day this week, so we can skip out for the holidays and still bring you the radio excellence to which you???ve (hopefully) become accustomed.
There are almost too many headlines today with big news in Pakistan -- Musharraf appointed a new cabinet; we didn't address it because we could not find a great guest in time for our broadcast -- and we had, I thought, a rich conversation with a Muslim Cleric about a new book we wanted to tell you about. So, maybe we'll get back to Pakistan next week. There was also a march on Washington to the Justice Department today -- we talked about it in the Barbershop -- and then there was last night's Democratic debate in Las Vegas. We handled other political stories worth noting on the political roundtable.
We didn't get to the issue of GOP contender Sen. John McCain's response to a woman who recently called Sen. Hillary Clinton the B-word at a campaign event, though. I'm disappointed about that because I was really interested in what the guests had to say. Are you familiar with this story? You can see the exchange, courtesy of YouTube, below:
And now McCain is using the situation to fundraise, saying the liberal media is out to get him. So my question is, on the arithmetic of this, who comes out on top? By fundraising from the incident, do you give what happened more currency? And do you get as much, or more, if you'd just put it to bed?
I'm tempted to say we'll get to it next week, but we won't because this kind of political news has such a short shelf life ... and, next week is Thanksgiving.
Speaking of Thanksgiving, we still want to hear from you. What are you grateful for? Tell us a story (a true one). You tell me one, and I'll tell you one. Deal?
