Barry Goldwater was one of the most quoted yet consistently misunderstood politicians in American history. Today, his son Barry Goldwater, Jr. joins Lionel to discuss his new book, Pure Goldwater, a treasure trove of his father’s private insights and personal journal entries. Note: journals are much like primitive “blogs”.
At 11 A.M., Federal Reserve Bank expert and all-around $$$-head Doug Roberts will join Lionel to discuss conspiracy theories surrounding our nation’s economic institutions.
FROM THE ENDLESS CAMPAIGN
Edwards endorses Obama, giving rise to speculation that he’ll be picked as Barack’s VP. Bill Clinton continues to endorse Hillary.
Mrs. Clinton keeps her chin decidedly up, desperately searching for meaning in her meaningless victory in West Virginia. Oh, we’re just joshing ya, Hillary – you go, girl!
News from the broader campaign to dethrone Congressional Republicans: the GOP got STOMPED in Mississippi, and now they’ve done wet themselves with fear. If a heavily Republican district in Mississippi can flip to the Dems, it seems that the GOP has a lot to be scared about. Squeal. Squeal like a pig for me.
IN THE MÉLANGE
George W. Bush is a huge fan of the Austin Powers films, and apparently does a mean impression of Dr. Evil. One's a megalomaniacal jackass; the other appeared in the Austin Powers films.
Dermott and Doobie love a good “Church ‘N State” debate…GO STATES!!! Lionel's home state of Florida may be on the verge of marrying religion and government. It looks like a shotgun wedding to us. Always wear a condom.
And much, much more …

I too think your take on
I too think your take on Olbermann is wrong. First of all, you played only the "controversial" last sentence several times, accompanied by your comments. Okay, we get your point. But isn't that kind of like what the MSM did to Howard Dean over some mis-heard overexuberance in 2004? Also, the video, and the quote, don't seem to be picking up the negative legs you assured us they would. Crooks & Liars, the unofficial archive for Olbermann's rants, was 100% in favor of this piece. And finally, as you admit, he was right. Truth has been carrying a lot of weight lately.
All this notwithstanding, keep up the entertaining commentary.
