She frequently clashes with her husband, Jack Swanson, a registered Democrat and member of the American Civil Liberties Union.

Lee Rodgers and Melanie Morgan are heard in the mornings from 5 AM to 9 AM. Her husband, Jack Swanson, is (or was) the operations manager at the radio station. Their website (www.ksfo.com) doesn't easily identify management staff. She was the one who championed the cause of getting CalEPA-approved MTBE banned from our reformulated gasoline. Her bio page, by the way, carries a link to FreeRepublic! The "Melanie's Favorite Hate Emails" link is hilarious!

Morgan, who endorsed state Sen. Tom McClintock's candidacy early on, has never heard from Gov.-elect Arnold Schwarzenegger or anyone from his campaign. She chalks that up to on-air "spats" she has had with some of his top advisers, whom she said come from "the country club wing of the Republican Party."

As a regular listener to the show, I can back that up. Lee Rodgers and Melanie Morgan are 100% independent. They say what they believe, and don't back down, even if it means Republicans must be targeted.

Longtime listeners remember how long before it became a national controversy, Rodgers and Morgan were pressuring then-Governor Pete Wilson to ban the carcinogenic gas additive MTBE. When the stuff -- as it tends to do -- leaked out of gas tanks all over California and poisoned drinking water sources, the Republican governor had egg all over his face. Softening the blow was the fact his wife was named to the board of an oil company.

During the 2000 campaign, George W. Bush -- through representatives -- refused to come on the show or the station. So did quintessential RINO Dick Riordan in 2002 in his disastrous run for Governor. Rodgers grills GOP boosters like Rich Galen of Mullings.com mercilessly. Mel suggested that McClintock run for governor long before the 2002 goober election.

They get it.
