A right-wing radio loudmouth in Chicago named “Erich ‘Mancow’ Muller” (hey Chicago readers: explain) thought that the “waterboarding is torture” argument was just a bunch of MoveOn.org poppycock and, as many drink-soaked former Trotskyite popinjays have done before him, submitted himself to the process to prove it — and this time, live on his show.

The Rush Limbaugh program is a very entertaining program, it’s true. This segment with a caller is funny enough when he’s explaining to her what an addiction is like, and how the liberals are all “addicted to power,” whereas he was merely addicted to a tasty opiate. But then, after an awkward few seconds of [...]
Ha ha ha we called it dudes, a month ago! Rod Blagojevich will be on the radio tomorrow, filling in at Chicago’s WLS-AM from 7-9 in the morning.
PAUL HARVEY … DEAD: “He had a face for radio and the political compass of the Inquisition. Born to a long line of Baptist preachers, he became the biggest snake oil salesmen of them all. Although known as a full-bore right wing nut, he broke with Nixon on Cambodia and (so he claimed) Joe McCarthy [...]
Poor Michael Steele! The media jackals are now well aware of Steele’s tendency to say hilarious things when prodded, and now they’re just using this POOR MAN who is trying to save the Republican party for our children. Such was the case last night when an ABC radio host made some terrible connection between Bobby [...]
YOUR EDITOR HAS TO GO TAPE A RADIO THING NOW: Wonkette’s own Sara K. Smith will be on the “Good News, Bad News, No News” segment of Weekend America tomorrow, offering her valuable opinions on the news — that is, unless she chokes on her tongue during the taping, or is unable to come up [...]
We have listened to this recording of John McCain’s interview with Radio Caracol Miami where he appears not to know who the prime minister of Spain is, or whether or not he’d be willing to meet with him. It is just … weird.
That jabbering nitwit on Fox just signed a $100 million, five-year deal that will distribute his radio show through Citadel and Clear Channel networks. It’s significantly less than Rush Limbaugh’s recent $400 million, eight-year contract — but still, nothing to sneeze at. So what might Sean Hannity spend his truckloads of cash on?
EXCITING LISTENING OPPORTUNITY FOR WONKETTE READERS! Those of you who have the XM satellite radio can listen to Wonkette’s own Comics Curmudgeon this afternoon!
MANY WORDS WRITTEN ABOUT RUSH LIMBAUGH: The NYT Magazine has posted Zev Chafets’ very long and still pretty interesting Sunday cover story on the AM talk-radio entertainer. Conclusion: Rush is a super-rich weirdo and clever broadcaster who annoys a lot of people and pleases a lot of other people, the end. [NYT Magazine]
