"But, considering your role by association about what's going on downtown, are you SERIOUSLY going to attempt to lay blame exclusively at the hands of the Democrats, and continue to paint yourself and your fellow partisans as snow-white ewes?"
What the hell are you talking about, "my role by association"? I didn't "lay blame" anywhere; I called Pelosi and Reid out as acting like wussies.
While I have to state upfront I have been a critic of the AAR operation's business model from Day One, I have to agree with you about the idiocy of breaking up Morning Sedition for a game plan that is almost pre-ordained to draw even crappier ratings for their morning drive time slot. As you noted in the post, morning radio in NYC is pretty bare, entertainment-wise. Until Kuby reaches across the table and throttles Sliwa, I can't stomach more than small dosages of WABC. Even when Maron had launched himself to the moon on a lunatic tirade, the man always delivered entertainment.
