They will be the first to jump ship when the Wiener boat takes too much RAT water on board.
Accolades will get you nowhere Lormand the same way Bush's cozying up to Dem-RATS continues to get him nowhere with them.
Let's see the minimum wage, donations to Brown, support for the Pelosi visit, how much more RAT water do you think it will take for them to finally jump the Savage ship? I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you Lormand, especially if you are the one underwater. :-)
I can't say that I take a front seat to anybody on the TSN thread, whether they be regulars, once-in-a-whilers, or lurkers. I think every one of them is an independent thinker capable of understanding his commentary from his schtick, so I think you're short-changing them to a large degree. I have many disagreements with him but overall I find the show entertaining.
It will be interesting to see what he has to say tonite, or whenever, after bolting half-way through last night's show.
