The Professional Left Podcast with Driftglass and Blue Gal
Ep 138 Mitt Flakes London!
Mitt Romney’s Olympic performance proves Blue Gal’s theory that he doesn’t want to win this election. BG poops on the Democratic Party establishment, and despairs for the ecology of the planet. Driftglass exposes a fantastic find -- Tom Friedman losing his mind when an interviewer brings up his own wealth. More at professionalleft.blogspot.com.

About your point that Rmoney is a fundamentally flawed human being: it's truly amazing that Rmoney will talk about what a great job he did with the 2002 Olympics, then go to London and say, "aw, the Olympics aren't all that important, I'm heading to Israel."
ReplyDeleteI was so happy to hear that my favorite radio interviewer got props on The Professional Left for calling Tom Friedman on his BS. I remember listening to that show and hearing the part where Hill 'dared' to ask about the elephant sitting in the interview room with her. Sadly, I wasn't as astute as Driftglass' commenter who thought to forward you the interview.
ReplyDeleteAs you note, part of it has to be with her being outside the Washington DC and US bubble, but it also is because she's just a wonderful, direct, inquisitive interviewer. So let's mention her name, why don't we? ;) It's Kim Hill over at New Zealand Radio National and I've listened to her Saturday Mornings show religiously ever since I stumbled upon her. I highly recommend anyone out there making her as regular a presence in your podplayer alongside The Professional Left.
