Filling in for The Boze, on Sytman & Boze (KTTH m-f, 5-9a) political entrepreneur Tim Eyman, pretty in a French whore's costume, extended his customary right-wing talk radio interview form into a full-blown 4-hour infomercial about... himself.
With all the Blatherwatch-stoked media attention, Friday, it was KTTH's largest audience since Rush Limbaugh got out of rehab. As we predicted, there were no disparaging calls to speak of- as always, there weren't many calls.
Co-host Dan Sytman played the obsequious sidekick, occasionally attempting to change the subject by injecting his own walls of impenetrable verbiage. But Dan has only so much breath, and Eyman was able to grab the mike back practically at will.
Mostly, Sytman dutifully fed straight man cues and broad segues to Eyman to launch himself into the various initiatives he's peddling.
(Liberals don't get up in the morning, according to Sytman. Eyman agreed, noting that liberals are too busy laying on the couch eating potato chips. For all his faux small 'd' democratic bloviation, Eyman, like a true Republican, really despises the electorate he depends on. He says he needs liberals to pass his initiatives, despite that they're lazy, stupid, misguided, greedy scum-suckers no better than the politicians they elect. We feel used, Tim).
Even though he complained today about the paltry dough he's getting from Entercom for this gig, Eyman will be in all week. Having today covered the subjects of Tim Eyman, initiatives, the filthy press, unfair taxation, the son of a bitch Ron Sims, and Tim Eyman, we're sure he'll tackle some larger issues tomorrow such as First Amendment rights, homeland security, the Iraq war, U.S. policies in the Middle East, immigration, and the morning-after pill.
We can't wait.
New information: Eyman wears Birkenstocks for the high arch support, though he does not, therefore, eat range-fed chickens.
I tuned in to a bit of Eyman on Eyman this morning, and if the purpose was to help you get a few more minutes of sleep in the morning, it was a grand sucess.
Who knew someone could make me want David Boze back.

Did he call Dave Ross while he was on the air?
I was listening to Thom Hartmann, who went to commercial, so as I was punching buttons in the truck, I hear Timmy tell Dave to "lighten up" because Dave was trying to get him to acknowledge that there are projects that had to be disbanded because of some of his initiatives that landed on the ballot. According to Dave's next caller, Timmy had pulled all of his "facts" out of his butt and had not had a single fact correct.
Then KIRO launched into endless commercials, so I went back to Thom....

Wow! I'm devouring the chips and setting my sleep number NOW lest I miss a syllable at 5 am tomorrow....

Ditto, Goldy...thanks! Now we know...
Have you checked out the comments on his thread? Some esoteric web sites and cryptic cartoons....

I did not open any of the sites. They sounded like they were all wacked-out anti-lib sites. Were they worth opening? And I did skim the comments.

Fremont, do you post on other blogs? on HorsesAss?

That interview Ross had with Eyeman was pretty weird. Basically, Dave tried to tie him down on what projects he wanted to cut. Tim, of course, didn't have anything to back it up so he made a hilarious statement: "Just spend the $1.5 billion dollar surplus!" I had to do a double take...a right winger saying spend the tax surplus.
Of course the interview just turned into Eyeman doing his usual BS stump speech and Ross doing his, but hey it was interesting!

John Carlson has sure changed into a hotshot! I used to look forward to his program, now I usually end up turning to 1300. Today he was sticking up for the State department! He sounded like Ken Schram. Fruidian slip when he said "listening to KOMO"

When it comes to asking Tim Eyman specifics about what programs to cut, Tim seemingly snowballs this question. This is not a criticism of Tim, merely an observation. Fortunately or unfortunately, Tim’s speaking patterns are the norm in politics. If you think about it, most politicians and activists usually don’t touch upon specifics. Instead, they harp on generalities leaving the citizen to wonder.
I read about these types of issues each and every day and decided to do something about it. My solution is my homespun film I produced entitled, “The Battles Of Tim Eyman” available at www.battlesoftim.com
Also, you can sign up for my free reports at http://www.battlesoftim.com/tim-eyman-michael-medved-paul-fraser.htm which touch upon issues such as these as well. Hope they are of use to everyone here!
