Oh dear! I'm still out of place...
If "put in their place" is too strong of a connotation for some then I am happy with the above. To me they are equal.
More important Mr. Hogue's argument with that other station continues. I tuned in during the seven o'clock hour for a few minutes and heard Mr. Hogue again ridicule efforts made by hundreds of Californians to contact the governor's office. Something that other talk host urged listeners to do.
The whole scene is cool. During the recall it was that other talk show host ridiculing Mr. Hogue's recall efforts. Egos and economic interests at play. What about what's right, not who's right?
