Jack Abramoff Gets Radio Show With Clear Channel.

Disgraced Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff has a new talk radio show to offer advice on reforming politics. . .

Abramoff went to federal prison for corruption. He says he may be the nation's "most controversial radio host" because he was involved in the money-based political culture he says needs an overhaul.

Producers say the Washington-based show offers the unique perspective of a political insider. It's being produced by the same unit that features Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Ryan Seacrest and other personalities.

1. OMFG. Is the list of rethug bottom feeders

really endless?

[sinkingfeeling]

2. Isn't he a felon? Why can he get paid to blab on radio when he can't even vote?

[tularetom]

3. G Gordon Liddy did it for years

[sinkingfeeling]

7. You're right. I guess I've just spent all my career at places that

would not hire felons.

[BumRushDaShow]

23. And Oliver North (on the same station in VA). n/t

[elleng]

4. Because he's got useful information for all of us,

about how the corrupt system works and how it might be repaired..

[cstanleytech]

5. He lost the right to vote he didnt lose his freedom of speech. nt

[sinkingfeeling]

6. And thankfully I have the right never to hear him.

[cstanleytech]

8. Yup, since I never really cared for talk radio avoiding him wont be

a problem for me either.

[bluedigger]

9. The few times I have seen him since his release, he has seemed humble and contrite.

I'm willing to accept it at face value until he proves otherwise. It's not like he created corruption in DC, he was just better at it than most. If he can expose more of it going forward, so much the better.

[elleng]

10. I agree.

Thanks, blue.

[leveymg]

11. He's also highly knowledgable and articulate. To "know thine enemy" . . . one has to listen

or read what they have to say. Black Jack certainly still has a lot to say.

[elleng]

16. Looks like few here have seen him, as you have, blue.

Too bad!

[bluedigger]

18. Forgiving isn't one of DU's (or the intertubes) stronger suits.

[elleng]

19. That's true,

but he can be so HELPFUL. We really shouldn't cut off our noses to spite our faces (as the old saying goes!)

[cactusfractal]

22. Concur.

So long as he's not carrying water for his former masters in disregard for the facts, let him speak freely. I saw him on tv recently and it seems the guy isn't the black hat he once was.

12. The Jackoff Hour

Immediately following Ru$h Limbaugh on your local RW talk radio station.

[alp227]

15. DUZY THIS! DUZY THIS!!!!

[Xolodno]

17. ....

...and he works it every single day.

[judesedit]

13. What do you expect? Same ol, same ol. A bunch of old white corrupt racist hypocritical liars.

Sounds par for the course to me. Personally...never listen to that or FAUX noise. Just sounds like a bunch of mouth farts coming from big-assed idiots to me. A feeding frenzy for the greedy, racist, illiterate, puppetlike war-mongers that do anything they are told without asking. You know the ones that jump off the cliff after their "leaders". Stupid things vote against their own best interests every time. Pretty sad the educational system has failed miserably when it comes to these folks.

[NCcoast]

14. Another in the long list of be-sainted wingnut crimials

Let's see, there's also Oliy North, Admiral John Poindexter, G. Gordan Liddy... I understand Ralph Reed is on the comeback trail...
Breaking the law shows commitment, because you're never wrong, if you're far enough Right.

[justgamma]

20. The wingnuts will hate him.

I've heard him a few times and he takes on the corruption and tells it like it is.

[elleng]

21. Thought so, just.

Thanks for saying it. People here need to recognize useful information, when its available.

[freshwest]

24. Clear Channel's next host, live from California:

That's the moral level of this network. Can we expect anything better from the station that brought us Rush?

[LittleGirl]

25. Why doesn't Anthony Weiner have a show?

then. He didn't commit any crimes per se, he just lied. No felony, no harm...

[elleng]

26. He doesn't have anything useful to say.

Abramoff does, to offer advice on reforming politics. He knows a thing or two about how it works, badly, and how it might be improved.

[choie]

27. I think Weiner would

be a fantastic radio host..smart and funny!
