Don't You Just Love Boston Traffic?

Sorry folks, a really longer than normal commute screwed up my schedule and made me unable to listen to much of the show. I also missed most of headlines, which is usually the most fertile plot of soil from which to harvest the best - or is it worst - Iggyisms.

Just as an aside, can you Massacusetts drivers PLEASE learn how to merge! It took over half an hour to get from Route 95 in Walpole to Route 128 - at 7:00 in the morning! The problem was caused by people trying to get onto Route 128-S, and instead of easily merging in left right left formation as the off-ramp shrunk from two lanes to one, everybody had to inch neck and neck up until the point where you're stuck trying to make it up the climbing lane from a 5mph start - except of course for those Nascar wannabees who close their eyes and cut across four lanes of oncoming traffic to get to the high speed lane.

It sounds like I missed some good ones though, because the guys read a bunch of Iggy-bashing listener emails during Emails and Buzzerbeaters. Hopefully we can get back on track tomorrow.

Iggy Sullies The NY Times on WEEI

I only got to listen to about an hour of the show this morning because I had to dig out from the latest winter pounding from Old Man Winter. Boy, imagine how cold and snowy this winter would have been if we weren't suffering from global warming eh Al Gore?

The one good morsel we got from Captain Condescending was his bristling at Gerry when he mentioned the story about Obama keeping the temperature in the Oval Office at 75 degrees (I guess Jimmy Carter took his sweater with him when he left office). It was classic Iggy, firing off a "Where did you hear that from, the conservative conference this weekend?" Oh Iggy, I guess you never heard the old saying that: "It's better to remain silent and let everyone assume you're a fool, than to open your mouth and confirm it for everyone."

As was almost immediately phoned in by an astute listener, the truth is that this story about your messiah's typically liberal "do as I say, not as I do" episode was widely reported by many news outlets, including "reputable" ones (i.e. left-wing biased) like the The Old Red Lady- the New York Times. Like any liberal, Iggy, you never let the facts get in the way of your arguments.

Aside from the fact, as Gerry pointed out, that you're such a left-wing moonbat that even the New York Times is too "mainstream" for you, this episode highlights one of two inescapable truths. Either you truly did not know about the story, in which case you were completely uninformed . . . again, or, you knew about the story, and hoped that by jumping into attack mode, you could muddy the waters enough to obscure the facts. If it is the former, then perhaps you should update your email address for the new alerts from dailykos.com. In either case, you are pathetic.
