Seattle's foremost public radio news and talk. - KVI am 570 KHz
Visit the burnt-out husk of one of the seminal right-wing talkers in all the land. Here's where once trilled the reactionary tones of Rush Limbaugh, John Carlson, Kirby Wilbur, Mike Siegel, Peter Weissbach, Floyd Brown, Dinky Donkey, and Bryan Suits. Now it's Top 40 hits from the '60's & '70's aimed at that diminishing crowd who still remembers them and can still hear. - KTTH am 770 KHz
Right wing home of local, and a whole bunch of syndicated righties such as Glennn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Medved, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Lars Larsony, and for an hour a day: live & local David Boze. - KPTK am 1090 KHz

but yeah, chock full of Heathens for sure.

NASCAR fans are not mouth breathing rednecks you stupid fuck. Many NASCAR fans are Teamsters, Longshoremen, grocery clerks, etc.
They are the lunchbox democrats. Of course you elite Seattle liberal pukes, that likely have never been to Kent Pacific Raceways or the oval at Monroe just make your ignorant assumptions based solely on the darkness you see while your head is firmly up your ass.

if it would've been Laura Bush getting booed at a union teacher meeting the usual suspects would be all over themselves about 'truth to power' etc and thinking it was a good thing.
it's classism. the seattle progressives don't care much for nascar (when's the last time you saw an audi or a volvo in one of those?) folks. and they have no idea what let alone where the Pac Raceway is located.
i do think it is bad manners to boo the first lady. i didn't like it when folks booed Laura Bush and I don't like it when they boo Michelle Obama. First Lady's are suppose to be non political symbols. Speaking of which, the greatest First Lady of all time was Jackie Kennedy. Recall her role as she epitomized grace under pressure during the events of Nov 22, 1963, and subsequent funeral of JFK.
Posted by: Puget Sound Blathers | November 21, 2011 at 01:51 PM
When was Laura Bush booed at a union meeting? When was Laura Bush ever booed at all?
Posted by: sparky | November 21, 2011 at 03:59 PM
"First Lady's are suppose to be non political symbols" Oh dear me, get Eleanor Roosevelt on the horn straight away, I must inform the bridge club.

Guess you missed the Obama Inauguration?
It was in all the papers, Sparkles.
Posted by: Puget Sound Blathers | November 21, 2011 at 05:42 PM
Same thing happened to First Lady Hillary Clinton here in Seattle circa 1994.
That wasn't right, either.
Posted by: Puget Sound Blathers | November 21, 2011 at 05:43 PM
"First Lady's are supposed to be non political symbols." Pretty sure we are past women being symbols Putz, but I agree with the rest of your post.
Posted by: chucks | November 21, 2011 at 06:41 PM
not 'women' per se, it is the office.
if we had a woman president and the husband was the 'first gentleman' it would be the same concept.
Posted by: Puget Sound Blathers | November 21, 2011 at 06:58 PM
I haven't seen the first man in the governors mansion booed recently.
Posted by: Helen Hokinson | November 21, 2011 at 07:24 PM
First ladies should not be booed, no matter how much their husbands are loathed.
This president is pulling out all of the stops using children, first ladies, occupiers aka occutards, union bosses, welfare recipients, movie stars, foreign dictators,etc. as political symbols. However, when it comes to leadership, he is flaccid.
Posted by: KS | November 21, 2011 at 07:32 PM
Technically, it would have been more accurate to say;
First ladies should not be booed, no matter how much their husbands' policies are loathed.
Since they or whoever don't personally know the president, but their policies are what touch many.

What is an "occutard"? I work with developmentally disabled groups and find your labeling offensive.
Posted by: Helen Hokinson | November 21, 2011 at 07:39 PM
I was not referring to the disabled groups you work with. BTW, I found the actions of the Occupiers offensive and clueless and wasteful of our tax money for extended OT pay that they make necessary for the police. I don't have a problem in changing the reference to Occupier-parasites per your request and deleting the term Occutard.
BTW, I find the term Teabagger offensive.
Posted by: KS | November 21, 2011 at 08:23 PM
Ms Hokinson, I don't recall seeing the first gent doing anything in public beyond standing with his wife. I have never seen him out being all preachy about what we should feed our kids or any other none of governments business issues.
Why would anybody boo a man that minds his own business?
Posted by: chucks | November 21, 2011 at 11:16 PM
Occu-tard is actually a fitting name after reading this;

Yeah, well, all of the 7 billion of us find some shit offensive, what's your point?

Posted by: Sam Pelligrino | November 23, 2011 at 02:27 PM
there are probably some well intentioned normal people strewn in the Occupiers amongst the mentally ill and homeless and I don't mean recent college grads, typically jobless who think they can change the world...

Great article by Krugman
Posted by: sparky | November 25, 2011 at 11:45 AM
Part of it wasn't bad, but the other part was Krugman as usual showing his Keynesian ideological misguidedness.

i ran quickly , as soon as the double glass doors opened, manned by red-vested nerds in santa hats. It didn't matter that i wasn't exactly first in line , i sprinted out of line and passed scores of people without shame, manhandling an old woman out of the way to get into the door. The nerds did nothing, intimidated by my superior size and strength. I made a quick windsprint to electronics, grabbede a cart, and spied my prize- a single 35 inch Toshiba wiht built in DVD player. Some of my insider sources at the store had alerady informed me only one of these would be for sale on the day of black. Not taking any chances, i slipped on my gas mask and sprayed a wide perimiter of pepper spray around me as i loaded the large tv into my cart......

"…Then there pundits like Ed Schultz. Do you watch “The Ed Show” on MSNBC? Of course you don’t. No one does. The only reason people watch “The Ed Show” is they’re working out in a hotel gym and they can’t find a staff member to change the channel to ESPN."
This from GQ magazine as they rate the least influential people in America. Obama is at number 25.
