Curmudgeonly & Skeptical

    Jeff Faux, speaking at the liberal "Take Back America" Conference in Washington last week "lashed out at the culture of talk radio during a panel discussion titled "Shrubbed: The Radical Project of George Bush," reports Inside Politics.

"I turn on the radio, and I hear these talk shows with right-wing drunks calling in, and I ask myself, where are our drunks?" Mr. Faux said. But, he added: "The advantage of being a progressive is that you don't have to get drunk to make your speech."
