Mr. Eagan observes us from his loft liberal perch atop the crumbling gray lady.

[beebuster2000]

must be more copies of the WH script floating around than i thought. but then i am naive, aint I?

[Kansas58]

Exactly.
How will the NYT take it if we win that Special Election, in New York, later this month?

[omega4179]

Hey Egan enjoy your New York Soup Kitchens.

Rule #11:
Pick a target,Freeze it, polarize it. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame.

Mr. Eagan is yet another disciple a Saul Alinsky.

[Tennessee_Bob]

Escape Rush Limbaugh?

I have two really neat features on my radio that Mr. Eagan must be missing. One lets me change the station, the other lets me turn it off.

[Incorrigible]

RDS... It’s the new BDS.

[dforest]

What an ignorant post.....by a loon “esquire”...who works for a “has been” rag.

[Doogle]

..any spare pesos NYT?

[tgusa]

NYT. Nothing to learn here. Move along ....

[reefdiver]

Hey eagan, Limbaugh got your goat? One guy, armed with the truth is more influential than your entire fading fast newspaper. I love it.

[mewzilla]

Boy, the NYT and....

P-I writer in residence Timothy Egan on Seattle

...the Seattle P-I.

Egan sure can pick 'em.

No wonder he's cranky. He's gonna need a day job.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Timothy Egan is a pathetic liberal elite - attacks the individual to avoid an honest debate on the issues.

That the current admistration shows more concern about an American Citizen excercising his 1st Ammendment Right than for the Islamofascists is very telling.

That this author is supportive of that position is even more illuminating.

[reagan_fanatic]

It’s OK, Timmy - we understand your anger and despair.

We’d be frustrated too if our ‘Chosen One’ had not only stumbled out of the starting gate, but completely wrapped himself around it. It must be painful to realize that not only is Barack not the Second Coming of Christ, but he is nothing more than an inexperienced political hack from the Chicago machine who will be remembered by future historians for driving the once mighty U.S. economy straight into a depression.

Not quite the legacy you were looking for, is it?

[Rummyfan]

As someone who spends a lot of time on the road, I used to find Limbaugh to be an obnoxious but entertaining companion, his eruptions more reliable than Old Faithful. But now that Limbaugh has become something else — the face of the Republican Party, by a White House that has played him brilliantly — he has been transformed into car-wreck-quality spectacle, at once scary and sad.

And yet Mr Egan continues to listen? Has he never heard of XM or Sirius Satellite Radio, where he could listen commercial free to whatever he wanted?

And if Mr Limbaugh is so ubiquitous on American AM radio, why is that Mr Egan? Could it be that people like listening to him and agree with much of what he says? That he is indeed popular, and has a listening audience larger than the viewing audiences of Larry King, Keith Olberman, Chris Mathews, Anderson Cooper, and maybe even Katie Couric combined?

[TET1968]

Rush could purchase 51% of the New York Times for one week ‘s cigar budget.

[silverleaf]

Mr Eagan has a radio that only gets one station and is forced, forced I tell you, to endure Rush Limbaugh.

How sad.

[ml/nj]

As the conservative writer David Frum said recently, “If you’re a talk radio host and you have five million who listen and there are 50 million who hate you, you make a nice living. If you’re a Republican party, you’re marginalized.”

And if you're a writer who has 263 readers, and several hundred million who have never even heard of you, why would anyone care what this writer has to say or whether any of his assertions are right or wrong.

I'm not sure I ever heard of this guy Frum before last night's Mark Levin show (stupidly preempted in NYC, but available I'm sure at the Levin archives) when Frum called in to respond to Levin's criticisms of him. The two went at it for about 20 minutes. This listener thought Levin exceptionally gracious in allowing Frum as much time as he did, and thought Frum exceptionally rude in that the only way Levin could get a word In edgewise was to turn down the input on Frum's line.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Now he knows what it's like to be a conservative and to flip through the channels on TV, or to look through the movie listings, or to read a newspaper.

Hey, Mr. Eggin, (Esq — what a pompous ass) go to hell.

[tiredoflaundry]

Rush's fault!

lololol!
