Calling All Wingnuts

This, beleive it or not, is my favorite type of call. I’d much rather talk to a policy maker -even a neocon - than a propagandist…

Gaffney is a neo-con with a new book out. As much as I loathe the stupid and condescending (can there be a more infuriating combination of personality traits?) Jim Bohannon, he does have some great guests on occasion. I was able to upbraid Bob Kerrey for allowing himself to be used as a tool in the creation of the 9/11 report (I was the only question he took that night… I can’t say that my line of questioning made him skedaddle, but he didn’t get off easy)… I talked to Dale Bumpers about campaign finance and fundraising for about 8 minutes… I asked Senator Graham from Florida (remember the Presidential candidate?) what he was speaking to the head of Pakistan’s ISI about on the morning of 9/11… and I asked if there was any truth to the India Times report that the same man, General Mahmood, had wired $100,000 to Muhammed Atta and that’s why he wasn’t the Director of ISI very much longer after 9/11…

Anyway, the point is that on Bohannon’s show, which you can catch over the internet, you have all sorts of opportunity for monkey-wrenching and muckraking.

I looked at Gaffney’s record before I called and couldn’t really find much (hat tip to those that assisted). Instead, I decided to hit him on the neocon’s greatest folly, Iraq…
