Sorry for the low blogging, but as you know I have (temporarily, I assume) become a part-time anchorman at Pajamas TV. We had a colossally good time today with Fred and Jeri Thompson. Fred was interviewed by Peter Robinson and Jeri by me (hey, we’re a start-up, but a CEO gets some perks). Then the Thompsons heard country star John Rich practicing for tonight on the floor below and – friends with Rich – brought the singer up to our booth. Fred Thompson then interviewed him for PJTV. This was followed by the Senator interviewing his wife. All this will be available online at our site in the next day or so.
Oops, gotta go. More later.
Back. I’m off and Jennifer Rubin has taken over the hot seat. Being a tv host could get addictive, especially if we can the technology working. So far, there have been a fair amount of glitches in the hand-offs. I try to keep a sense of humor about it. In a week or two I imagine we wont be having these problems. In any case, it’s about the content and I am proud of the level of chat/punditry we have been having. And the guests.
UPDATE: Fred Thompson goes after Michael Moore on PJTV (YouTube excerpt).

1. Lem:Without the lefty bloggs democrats would have had to find a woman willing to play Sarah Palin’s iron maiden. (to attack Palin)
Now with the lefty bloggs to practically anonymously do their dirty work (while not spending a dime) nothing is off limits and everything is fair game.
A sad, sad day in American politics.

I was afraid that because the attacks on her were so vicious she would not be able to raise above it. Boy was I wrong.
There is very good possibility we just saw the first woman president of the US.
Some comments that made me feel something up my leg
I might add that in small towns, we don’t quite know what to make of a candidate who lavishes praise on working people when they are listening, and then talks about how bitterly they cling to their religion and guns when those people aren’t listening. We tend to prefer candidates who don’t talk about us one way in Scranton and another way in San Francisco.
Then later
But listening to him speak, it’s easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform – not even in the state senate. This is a man who can give an entire speech about the wars America is fighting, and never use the word “victory” except when he’s talking about his own campaign. But when the cloud of rhetoric has passed … when the roar of the crowd fades away … when the stadium lights go out, and those Styrofoam Greek columns are hauled back to some studio lot – what exactly is our opponent’s plan? What does he actually seek to accomplish, after he’s done turning back the waters and healing the planet?
