Manwater gets cowboarded

"It was instantaneous... and I don't want to say this: absolutely torture."

He's neither man nor cow, but despite Mancow has distinguishable characteristics of each, he spoke the truth, today, (and then, staying true to his 'man' side... he milked it for all it was worth).

TBTL: there's something happenin' here

Luke Burbank will throw out the first pitch at tonight's Mariner's game. "Awesome" will be the cry to about 900 "10's" (fans) who have already bought the tickets and will fill a couple of sections at Safeco Field wearing TBTL t-shirts.

 TBTL? It's Too Beautiful to Live (KIROFM m-f, 7-10p) the hard-to-describe, weeknightly show/community/talk-romp that chronicles the lives, tastes, and Millenial Gen pop-cultural blabbin'-tary  of Burbank, Jen Andrews, and Sean DeTore.

Eating their own... michael savage: 'rush limbaugh is a fraud.'

SAVAGE: And yet here in America, I've had some people come to my aid. They see the bigger picture. They're not like O'Reilly; they're not like Limbaugh, who's the biggest disappointment of all. Limbaugh has turned out to be the biggest phony of all of them, all of them. Amongst all of them, he is the biggest fraud. Rush Limbaugh is a fraud. When he was accused of the drug usage, I supported him. But that man is a one-way street. It's all about him. He's in it for nobody but himself.

And now a word to their sponsors...

BlatherWatch got a heartfelt, if not downright pissed-off letter from Tina Varinos of Varinos Dental Associates of Peabody, Massachusetts just outside of Boston.

Jesse the body thrashes sean the weasel

Ventura was on Hannity last night -- keeping the animal theme, this might be, as the Buddhist monk might categorize it: "the horse's ass beats on the monkey's ass." Whichever, we love it when Jesse Ventura is on our side. Funny how many of those who served our country (Jesse was a Navy Seal) are the most eloquent about waterboarding and other torture methods used by Bush and Cheney. Or Watch as Elisabeth Hasslebeck, blonde moron from The View, felt The Body heat.

PPM-er to blatherwatch "we have not listened to KIRO since April 1."

A guy who describes himself as a 42-year-old "home-officed" Seattleite whose family members are Arbitron personal meter wearers told Blatherwatch today that neither he nor his wife have heard KIRO news talk since April 1st, the day they left the AM dial.

Fox news ignores "The Biggest Scandle [sic] in American History!"

Glennn:, "This is gonna be bigger than Watergate," Billo: "It's never gonna be reported."

Bill O'Reilly. and Glennn Beck, those rapacious Fox News evening chat stars have uncovered "The Biggest Scandle [sic] in American History" -- with the President of the United States, the General Electric Co. and NBC News as co-conspirators!!!

Can wanda sykes save the republicans from rush limbaugh?

Here's an excerpt from Can Wanda Sykes Save the GOP?, a column by conservative radio talker John Batchelor about Wanda Sykes' comedy bit that was so shocking, shocking at the White House Correspondents' Dinner last week.

Batchelor's advice, (which will be never heeded) for his fellow Republicans: Listen to Wanda -- Dump Rush!

FBI expanding investigation of norm coleman

As if he didn't have enough problems, the FBI is broadening Norm Coleman's nasty little payola scandal.

If by some bizarre set of circumstances he won his far-fetched Senate recount appeal, he'd drag this grimy little sack of shit with him. It ain't going away. (His Senate appeal isn't about winning it's about the R's stalling the certification of Franken).

Reichert blows off KUOW -- again!

It was the third time in three weeks! Today, Rep. Dave Reichert stood-up Steve Scher on his market-leading Weekday (KUOW m-f, 9-11a).

(photo: Dave Reichert- the package, unfortunately, is empty).

Funny, we've heard The Haircut around the dial a lot lately. On Kirby Wilbur, Dori and Dave -- last weekend on KVI's Cop Talk (Sat. 6-7p). Even the cops tried to lick Reichert to death, and he purred like a kitten.
