2. Makes for some decent entertainment.
I bet several mental health facilities have C-Span on speed dial.

3. I had to stop watching
I stopped throwing soft objects at the TV set and started flinging HARD objects, especially during WJ. I wonder if they screen the calls with an IQ test of sorts? Because many of them couldn't undo a knot if their lives depended on it.

But I did after last weeks Primary....It was sickening listing to ther prepared talking points ....Usually it is Republican talking poins but thedse were Clinton talking points...So sad some were reading them and most were having trouble following the script.

5. You Just Noticed?
It's one of the biggest reasons I tune in. What outrageous thing will I hear today? It's all the rabidness of hate radio without the screaming.

C'mon...we should all fear that a President Obama is gonna force us to give reparations and how many of us have 40 acres and a mule??

:rofl:

7. I can't stand to listen to the callers
It raises my blood pressure! I get additional shame when the caller is from St Louis and is merely spouting Rush Limpballs talking points.

8. I know what you mean.....Michigan is a state of mostly rational, sensible people...
.... but I swear that half the WJ callers from Michigan are absolute nutjobs.

10. WJ is about as close to listening to
rush limbaugh. It doesn't take to many calls to know what rush was talking about the day before.

Sometimes I get frustrated when they let the freeps talk on and on, whilst cutting Dems off in short order, but then I think Brian and everyone has a wicked sense of humor, in that listening to some of the callers who are indeed dumber than mud, is comedy, in a strange dark way.
