And how shameless is he suggesting that you're going to meet the guy or gal of your dreams on his blog site?
Just listened to the audio. My grandmother had a saying ... "More to be pitied than scorned, dear"...
I wonder if his producers ever make him listen to tapes of his show?
I think FR is still very humble. The whole community of freepers was proud and awe struck by Buckhead and the Rathergate story. I was fortunate to basically lurk through the whole story as it happened. I got on board 9am that following morning after the first posts had been made already. I forget the date. It was awesome. Nothing wrong with having Dan Rather's scalp on your tent pole, neither. But I think most freepers still celebrate every big and small success. I'm just a goof-off loitering the forum since 2000. But the primary purpose of FR is to facilitate activism; i.e., action. And there's plenty of that going on. So it's a blog but it's also a network of real people who are walking the walk and ponying up money, too. Not big headed at all.
