And what does Tony have to do to get you to talk to him on his show? Besides ask you personally, give you his phone number and promise to put you at the head of the line. All of which he did last week.
And as I stated earlier, I ping him because that is common courtesy on FR when you mention another Freepers name in your post.
Unless you are afraid of that Freeper. Which you appear to be.
Calling a talk show from an adversarial POV is a sucker bet. It's like accepting a challenge to a duel by the boss of a town, and he gets to provide both pistols. The pistol he gives you has a bent barrel, no sights, no hammer, and is loaded with blanks. Then he shoots you down and gloats about his amazingly quick draw and superior marksmanship.
That's the inherent lopsidedness of having the host controlling the dump button, volume controls, being able to talk over you, cut you off, use funny or degrading sound effects while you're talking etc.
No thanks. That's why I don't call talk shows, it's a waste of time for a caller who disagrees.
Tony Snow claims to be a freeper? Then let him engage, right here on an even playing-field, (if he's not just fishing for a$$-kissing on this Snow Show threads).
I'd gladly go on the show, if he:
#1: Personally guaranteed 5 minutes of debate. Thirty seconds each at a time, with a bell or signal in between turns.
#2: No talk overs, no sound effects, cutoffs--period. Clear 30 second blocks of clean air time for my turns.
A time certain to call in, no waiting around on hold for an hour, only to go on 30 seconds before a break.
If folks don't mind calling in and waiting on hold, fine for them, God bless'em. But I have better things to do than wait for an hour, and MAYBE getting on, only to be cut off, talked over, and have "funny" sound effects played while I'm trying to get out a point.
I learned a long time ago not to walk into an ambush.
