Does anyone actually take Jim Hightower seriously? I listen to Pacifica Radio out of Houston (KPFT) — a wacko leftist station flagshipped by Amy Goodman’s seditious mouthpiece for authoritarian Communism, the Orwellian titled “DemocracyNow!”.
Pacifica plays Hightower’s infantile “commentaries” between the leftwing “FreeSpeech Radio News”, and Comrade Goodman’s
show. He talks like Dr. Phil, spouting folksy-sounding phrases with a southern accent (such as the oh-so-clever title of his newest book “Swim against the Current: Even a Dead Fish Can Go With the Flow”) ... in the hopes that his nonsensical rants will come of as “common sense” when coupled with the a southern drawl, a cowboy hat and the occasional Dr.Phil-esque catchprase.
He’s sort of a male version of Molly Ivins, without the likeability. He’s a first-rate lunatic, and a self-aggrandizing know-it-all couched in folksy Texan rhetoric.
Who care’s what this clown says?

Apparently Demarco does. Sounds like she's been hanging around this self-important freakshow for a couple of decades.
Guess they might be an item.
