Nice try though, but it hasn't worked the last few hundred times it has been tried on me.

"Why" is the real question. I'm not sure if C-Span is covered by Arbitron ratings or not, but I would imagine that their normal ratings have to be virtually zero.
C-Span is lucky that cable and satellite subscribers don't have the choice of a-la-carte programming, because if we did, they wouldn't be able to stay in business.
Not until Wiener came on-board on talk radio did you get this kind of fratricide.
Like the Rudy clowns who were booted off this forum, my wishes are for all of you Wiener sycophants to either see the light, or take your threads honoring a socialist loving, faux-conservatism somewhere else.
As just another Bush-bot you should seriously consider just staying down there with your mentor and fellow RINOs and forgot posting to a conservative website.

I didn't get that impression at all from watching the clip on Youtube. Mr Lamb explained many times why they decided not to air the speech as Savage didn't actually give a speech, but rather sent in a DVD both to the awards banquet and C-Span. And it appears to me this whole brouhaha was designed by Savage to get people to buy the DVD of his 11 minute speech. I'd never heard of Mr Lamb before, but he seems to be a fairly decent type of guy. And as for reading the worst of the worst emails, conservative talk show hosts are just as guilty.
As I said, I have seen C-Span run 2 hours of PowerPoint presentations, and they always show DVD mini-films at political events. His explanation was nonsense.
You can’t say on one hand that Savage is a publicity seeker who will do anythign for attention and ratings and then claim that he was offered free air time on C-SPAN and turned it down. Yet that is exactly what you’re saying.
Why would C-SPAN offer him air time? Taht simply doesn’t make sense.
