So the amazing conversion of Howard Stern occured when the religious right cost him some air-time on six Clear-Channel stations, now the Howard Brigades are getting an earful everyday about Preznit Bible Belt. And it may be the same religious right Christo-Fascists that drive Andrew out of the "cold". But, we've heard that rhetoric from him before. Today he used a word I had not seen before, "persuadable".
Well, seeing is believing. I'll buy him a beer (or send him the money for one) on the day after he publishes his first endorsemnt of Kerry. But honestly, I think my money is safe...Andrew tends to be all blow and no show about 90% of the time and just plain full of crap the other 10%. So he'll suck up his dislike of Fundies over assurances from the 1600 Crew that they "went too far", become selectively amnesiac about things like squandering our future wealth and write a glowing review of our "bold, fabulous, wartime leader" in the Sunday Times which he'll justify with his rationaliztions that Kerry "just doesn't have what it takes" to be strong on national defense. Ignore that Silver Star, Bronze Star and the Purple Hearts Andrew, they mean nothing at all. Just trophies of a misspent youth.

"Persuadable": "All my disgusting, revenous sucking up to Bush & Co. for the past 3 years is not my fault, but the fault of those paleolibs who only represent .1% of registered democratics but who nobody told me weren't the entire heart and soul of the party."
Don't you see, Jo? It's YOUR fault...you simply haven't "persuaded" Sully.

Andy bugs me to no end, he contradicts himself daily (Hey Andy a chunk of the GOP base thinks you're an animal worthy of death) and writes things that are just so stupid I don't understand how he makes a living at it.
The media loves contrarians like Andy. They think he holds seemingly illogical views becuase he's such a deep and radical thinker. Either that or the Republicans just want to bamboozle some homos.
"all blow"...."suck up"....subliminable homophobia?

You may have your facts wrong. The way I have heard and read it, Stern criticized Bush and Co. after reading Franken's book "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them" (I think that's the title). THEN Clear Channel decided he was indecent and took him off the air. But regardless of what caused his conversion, it was AFTER he started criticizing the criminal regime in Washington that he was pulled from those Clear Channel stations.

Dean's right about the timeline. It's a good thing that Howard is working on the Nascar Dads, he's opening some eyes.
