it seems when the GOP won in '95 (seems a very long time ago); Newt freed C-PAN from the grips of the "rats.
When Nazi "Premium Gas" Pelosi; became SotH, she clamped "back-down"

Even though liberals lie when they call in on the wrong phonelines, and some of the hosts can be a less balanced than they’re supposed to, Mr Lamb has always impressed me. He is wonderful.

Brian Lamb diligently and purposefully brings objectivity to journalism. Goal oriented behavior remarkable because it is so rare.

it's the end of an era. and what will fascist Fridays be without Mr Lamb?
