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 …

Olberman
Lionel:
If I told you to go f**** yourself in a nice tone of voice would it be considered a lesser insult?
I used to love your show but am recently growing increasingly weary of it. You often criticize Olberman for being supportive of Obama while you are equally and OBVIOUSLY biased towards Hillary. You now have the gall to cry because Olberman shows JUSTIFIED emotion in his assessment of Bush's actions?!! You accuse Olberman of not respecting the office of the President when not once did he refer to "the office" but always referred to Mr. Bush (I don't know why we have to even respect this traitor enough to justify calling him "Mr."). "Anti-American Bush" is the one who MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE does not "respect" the office of President. If Harry Reid or Nancy Pelosi had half of the courage, conviction, and anger that Olberman had we wouldn't be in this mess. I have also heard you criticize Reid for not showing any "life" in his presentations. Does that not make you a hypocrite?
You have been angry at Olberman (who you used to praise) ever since he showed support for Obama. I too used to like Hillary, but during this campaign she has shown her true colors including a complete lack of character. Now you have done the same. Obama is saturated with character and a blind man could see that. But admitting that you were wrong would be entirely against YOUR egotistical character, and you have the stupidity and lack of insight to accuse of Olberman of being an egotist!!! You also condemn him for repeating Morrow's closing line. As a person who listens to both your show and Olberman's EVERY day (podcast), I have heard Olberman praise Morrow and give him credit for the closing line on several occassions. He says it as a tribute to Morrow, as he has acknowledged. It is my understanding that "the monkey's dead" was not your original words. Did you "steal" your closing line?
So in closing, please don't take this the wrong way, as I say it with love and in a nice tone of voice, but Lionel, GO F*** YOURSELF!!!!
