Ellie Light speaks
Politico ^ | January 26, 2010 | Ben Smith

EXCERPT

Well, the mystery may be over. A woman who said her name was, in fact, Ellie Light called this morning into the radio show of Michael Smerconish, a national talker based in Philadelphia who has been friendly to Obama, to clear things up.

"I'm only me," she said, identifying herself as a traveling nurse who works for 13-week stretches at hospitals around the country, and whose primary residence is in Southern California.

"I need to own up – I did misrepresent my home town in some places," Light told Smerconish. Her logic in faking the addresses is one familiar to advocacy groups: "If I thought it was written by a neighbor of mine, I would give it more credence."

Light mused on why the letter was so widely circulated: "My letter was pretty darn good. It took a long time to write. I took more interest in honing it than most people take today."

"I don't know why others are not making the observation that, Why are we all abandoning the president we so adored so quickly?" she said.

Did that idiot Smerconish eat it up? I can’t stand that loud mouthed “Obummer voting”, self promoter.

I used to turn into him several years back, when at least pretended to be quasi-conservative. His show is before Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity, so you would think he would at least be in the same zip code.

He started to get really annoying once he went on MSNBC for opinion, and then went sprinting to the left when the Marxist there starting feeding his ego. His self promotion for his own books, articles, and sound bites is truly nauseating. He acts like a kid who found his father's porn stash under the bed.

On top of all that, he constantly berates and belittles his staff on the air. If his engineer does not have some obscure sound clip up "right away", Smerconish loses it and acts like a complete jerk. He treats his producer and all the staff the same way.

His mentor is Sen Arlen Sphincter.

Now you know more.

On top of all of this, when he came out for Obama and sold his soul to him, he stopped talking about topics in real and meaningful ways which might hurt Obama - the economy, terrorism, health care, etc. Oh, he touches on them, but on the fringe, and has guests on that twist things for Obama. Then, Smerconish runs out of things to talk about, so he goes off on some stupid weird news clip or something.

It really is pathetic.

It really is pathetic.

First of all, I have to say yet again THANK GOD FOR BILL BENNETT AND WNTP!!!

My stomach turns to think back on the mornings when that idiot Smerconish was the best thing on the radio. Hearing him whine about "Am I a metro-sexual?" (No Mike, replace metro with closeted homo, and you'll be dead on) or host an hour long discussion on what neat-o thing happened on The Sopranos last night was truly torture.

Exactly like his mentor, Sphincter, he has no principles, no guiding ideology whatsoever. It's simply doing and saying whatever is politically expedient.

He's nothing more than a human strawman for "republicans". An inanimate object that makes liberals feel good about their inclusiveness.
