Well, all I can say is he has the only meaningful dialogue I see happening at the exact time something happens...he and Whoopie were having a nice respectful chat last night where both conceded points about the Imus controversey. The list of characters he has on from all points of view is pretty impressive,.. who else is doing this?
I just don't see the PC channels taking on anything that interests me at all. Bill, on the other hand gets some great conversations going. Superficial and fast hitting, I concede but I think he plays into a mix of sources I enjoy.
NPR?..is that your idea of stimulation? ZZZZZZZZzzzzz. Maybe you have to be a bit of a grandstander to make it interesting, cause otherwise its all just the same old story.
He jumped right in on the Imus thing...the other channels had to see which way the wind was blowing first..they were afraid to touch it until several days later. (Now they are all over it...too late, I'm over it now)
I would say his timing is a one of his strengths...something happens, and he is at least shooting his mouth off about in a timely matter, as oposed to ...yawn...a week later.
I must say the Rutgers basketball team and the coach showed a lot of class. Forgiveness, what a concept. To bash and bash only polarizes people further and for them to handle it the way they did by taking the high road, listening, and forgiving will get more people's support than anything.
Sharpton is starting to get on my nerves. (like he has never said anything)
He doesn't know when to stop.
