And why exactly does anyone even care what Highower says?

He is the very definition of liberal failure.

MSNBC cares. Them and some strange people on FR. :)

And if its true, its even better. It shows the man has courage to slash spending on popular programs. Slashing any spending is not a negative in my book.

And why exactly does anyone even care what Highower says?

He tries to be a male Molly Ivins. His talk show was a big flop, as are all the liberal talk shows. Another indication that America is conservative is that there are hundreds of successful conservative talk shows and no successful liberal talk shows, that I know of. Therefore, why should conservatives care what the mythical "moderates" think? They are just a figment of the liberal media's imagination.

Calling Jim Hightower a liberal is like calling Bill Ayers a liberal professor.

I remember watching Hightower talking on some television program one time completely agog, thinking "How can anyone from Texas be this far left of center?" He made Molly Ivins seem like a moderate Republican.

Hightower is one of the biggest jokes in Texas.

Talk about "all hat and no cattle."
