Oh goody, please can we have a conservative answer to Katie Couric? Perky please!

[harpo11]

That is beautiful.

America is too great for small ideas.

From his photo, I would automatically assume the guy to be a con artist and major league a-hole. Check those beady little pig eyes.

I want to correct my figures earlier on Big Ego.
He and his wife will earn $300,000
this year for the National show and another $300,000 in 2005. Plus another $200,000 in expenses over the two year contract. Thats $800,000 for Big Ego. That leaves
a million left for all the rest. Thats not much.
And his producer, "Tank" is paid by KFGO for his morning show and is expected to "suck it up" and do the entire afternoon show for peanuts. Tank is getting screwed bigtime and is over worked.
No producer and no radio talk show host can do TWO fulltime talk show hosts in a day. One, is local, 8-11 and the National is
2-5. THere will be severe burn out
doing this. And more"cool ones" and more food consumed and extra weight added.
Big EGO has a plan as he knows this cant be done long.
Could he be added to the NFL announcers this Summer( another $250,000) and when that happens he leaves his local
job and gets his station to carry his show.

Why didnt Jones Radio Network SPEND
THEIR DOLLARS GETTING HIM ON STATIONS?

That is the REAL GOAL of Blowhard Ed. He just wants to be an NFL commentator. Blowhard Ed doesn't give a crap about politics except in the way it will serve his own career.

" The problem with liberals is that they feel so superior. They know they can't explain their reasoning, because the little people will never quite understand. I know I tried to listen too their arguments and have failed to understand their logic almost every single time. I have never heard a strongly presented case for being a Liberal." Exactly. The leftist argument structure consists of:

A: Emote.

B: Emote some more.

C: Emote with growing indignation...

D: Therefore:.................

His show is getting worse daily.
He rants bad, he hollers, too much,he shoves it down our throats, crude, mean smartass style. Now blasting Bush on those terrific 9/11 campaign ads.

He sounds like Hitler.

By the way, a source discovered
he is away and on vacation etc
100 days a year from his local job.
100 days vacation.
$150,000 salary.
Gets to do another job in the day and allowed to earn another $250,000 salary.
Allowed to have his wife on a $50,000 salary.
Allowed to do whatever he wants,
says whatever he feels, has no manager or boss.

Why is this? No other radio personality in the country has this .........why????

[Hearye]

He must have something on his manager?

And whats really weird, is not only
two jobs and all that income and days off....is the fact that he is talking to NFL and getting work with them .So
in order to get their attention, he shows, the publicity he has received
and the fact he is on a national show.
Leverage to the max and profiteering to the max and with a total disregard of all the other good workers at his local station. Toss in that mad ego.
Mixed with the real fact he has been a liberal for 1 year and a conservative, hard right man for years and it is amazing this man can get by with all that he gets by with.
Its not normal. Something is missing
here. I would think Clear Channel would step in and end this?Espicially now that he is atacking Rush on a daily basis. Calls Rush a druggie daily. Degrades him under the belt but why not who is going to tell him to stop or shape up?
I cant stand his personality and his show is getting worse daily.
And now we hear...he has a plan where he is going to be leaving Fargo this summer and get to his intended destination all along...the NFL and
a announcing job.
But, I predict he will either cut down to size soon or he will simply burn out. His show already shows wear and tear,fuzzy thinking etc,

What was the deal with Blowhard Ed shooting his dog? I don't think he did it on purpose. Most likely he thinks he is too important to bother with gun safety and took a shot at some game without thinking and accidentally hit his dog. I haven't hear of many (or any) hunters who are so careless that they accidentally shot their dogs.
