Jonathan who?

And no, Ted Kennedy was a bigger one and he’s now dead.

Pulled out an old Dead Kennedys tape and played a song in honor of Ted’s death.

Like Hickok says to Jack Mccall about how his mouth looks when he's talking I say to Alter when he opens his mouth or writes his dribble (one of the best "you're a pussy lines ever").

Didn’t Rush say he was on vacation next week? These silly boys love to shoot off their fiery darts hoping they might receive some ‘real’ national media attention via Rush. And on the radio at that. I have my doubts this ‘ad’ is going to be at the top of Rush’s stack when he returns.

So what did those guys think of the Michael Kelly piece that Rush read on air yesterday about the “waitress sandwich”?

How about the guy on NPR who commented that Kennedy relished hearing Mary Jo Kopeckne jokes?

How about Michael Medved, who worked for Ted, and was a cool aid drinking lib at the time; and recounted how Kennedy was a debauched falldown drunk ~ all the time that he worked with him??

What does Alter think of that?? Probably not much, since he’s a liberal, crackpot propogandist!

Jealous because Rush isn’t about to go out of business like Newsweek

slammed Rush Limbaugh as the "great blowhard of our time."

Ahhhh hahahahahahahaha.. A hole knows that Rush is truly the 'great Blowtorch' of our time. Alter by comparison is a flickering match flame in a gale wind. Rush is golden but Alter is molden---I suspect deep down inside he knows it too.

Newsweek vs. subscribers

Snippets: Earlier this week, rumors began circulating about a major drop in circulation for Newsweek. Some were suggesting a drop from a rate base of 2.6 million to 1 million. A rate base, by the way, is the circulation you guarantee to advertisers.

Well, it’s not a rumor anymore. The Wall Street Journal has the details — and it doesn’t look so good for the Washington Post Co. news weekly:

Newsweek magazine is planning staff cuts as part of a major makeover that is likely to result in a slimmer publication with fewer subscribers and more photos and opinion inside its pages, according to people close to the magazine.

Recently, Newsweek has emphasized commentary on hot-button issues, such as gay marriage, by big-name journalists like editor Jon Meacham and international editor Fareed Zakaria, as well as contributions from political operatives and academics like Michael Beschloss and Sean Wilentz.

And how are these provocative pieces on hot-button issues working out for Newsweek? Well, they’re more or less the laughingstock of the journalism world right now and they’ve had to disable commenting functions. The Journal reports that Newsweek Chief Executive Tom Ascheim’s email account was unable to handle the volume this week.

I used to see this crap weasel occasionally on Don Imus who has always maintained a rather strange collection of liberal wackos for his radio program. Alter always impressed me as pretty much useless, a liberal simp able to reel off the left wing talking points dujour but not capable of much beyond that. I also found him entirely unlikable, much like the rest of the pack.

“Matthews snarled, “What is the matter with these people? Can’t they take a week off, Jonathan? Just take a week off. It’s a funeral.”

We are a Juggernaut Crissy, and before it all shakes out in the end your career is going look like Teddy’s waterlogged Olds 88.

Rush creates more brilliance in one 15 minute monologue than Alter has created in his career. And Rush’s brilliance spills continually out of one half of his brain.<

What is Newsweek’s circ numbers? 2 mil? And Rush has, what, 20 million listeners? (I am just guessing here, I invite corrections).
