My apologies for the short diary. BUT... something's been bugging me for months now. Does anyone watch or listen to the
Washington Journal in the mornings? I listen every single morning on my way to work (I usually take the weekends off) and there's one thing that's been driving me crazy.
More after the break.
This morning they had a thirty minute segment for Democrats only. "Does Howard Dean speak for you?"
Around 7:15am (EST) a caller called in who claimed to be a Democrat. He was a truck driver from Arizona he said. He proceeded to attack Howard Dean and the Democratic party's leadership.
Now here's what bothers me. This guy has a very distinct voice. A southern accent is one thing that's very noticeable. I recognize this guy when I hear him... and I hear him alot. He manages to get in about two or three times a week.
I've waited and waited and waited for a caller to mention to one of the hosts that this guy is violating the 30-day rule (callers are supposed to wait at least 30 days to give others a chance to get in) but no one ever does.
Immediately after this guy's call was a woman who mentioned that the man join us here at Daily Kos... that there was a place for him in the Democratic party.
I tried to call right then. I wanted to shout "This man is not a Democrat! This man calls in several times a week and he's so conservative my Republican grandmother looks like Hillary Clinton compared to him!"
But I couldn't get in. So how can this guy get in several times a week???
Anyway... I was curious to know if anyone here listens to the WJ in the mornings and if so, have you noticed this guy, too?
