I don't agree with their usually liberal politics, but these guys are populist heroes. They don't take any cr@p from politicians. Republican or Democrat
Then how come they aren't taking either Feinstein or Boxer to task, since they are medding in Homeland Security.
John and Ken are local broadcasters and they generally stick to problems that have a local effect. I know that John hates Boxer and has called her every name in the book over the last 12 years. But right now the issue is illegal aliens in southern California. The Senators can't do anything about it because the laws are on the books already. The problem is that Bush and his administration are too chicken to enforce the law.
So John and Ken are going against those with the power to change things. Right now the person with that power is Isa Hutchison. If Boxer were in the position to enforce the law, these guys would be on her like white on rice.
