I'm not a lawyer, but I think the thing that was
mentioned was that it was set up in case GUESTS
on the show libelled someone. I've heard guests come
on and start to rant about someone or other,
claiming they know something about someone and Stern
and Robin would be shouting over him or her
not letting them say whatever it was and then you'd hear
the dump button go on and he'd say "You can't say that!!!"
So to me it sounds like that kind of thing.

So why has Stern been trumpeting his "freedom to say anything?"

Also, never forget that it was the neocons who
wrote in those PNAC papers
that turning USA into a dominant voice is likely to be
a long one in the absence
of "some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like
a new Pearl Harbor".
NEVER forget that.

Subject: Stern's delay button
Stern has a delay for one reason and one reason
only.
He doesn't want Opie and Anthony's Wackpack calling in
to bust his balls.
Limbaugh probably screens his calls less than Stern.

That makes more sense than Howard's fake explanation.

Subject: the Clintons
After the 1992 SuperBowl I was watching 60 minutes
with my parents.
My father was a Nixon supporter - he was a hard sell
against the Viet Nam war until my veteran brother
spoke to him. Well he saw the light with Reagan
and we were a solid Democratic family ever since.
We watched that 60 minutes program and none of us knew
a damn thing about Bill or Hillary.
After the interview my Dad said, "I don't know about
this guy, but I have to say anybody who
would marry such an intelligent woman couldn't be all
bad."
I remember this so well (having had many debates
withi him (was my father exercising my intelligence?)
I turned to my mother and said, "Mom, that is probably
the best compliment Dad ever paid you."
Look, the world is filled with guys like my Dad (well,
not quite like my Dad :)).
All they need is to see Hillary as their wife, sister
or daughter who is just so smart and deserves
to be President and will support their interests.
In 1996 one of the last times my Dad ever went outside
was to stake down a Clinton/Gore sign in his yard.
Take care Bart. Those of us who don't write often
still hold you in our hearts. :)

Subject: Alito
Bart, in response to Sen. Hatch's comments on the
filibuster, I sent him the following message:
Senator Hatch, today you said, "When you have lost,
you should admit defeat and move on,
not try to gimmick the system," referring to yesterdays
symbolic filibuster of Justice Alito.
I take it from this that the filibuster is "gimicking
the system."
Remind me please, how you voted in 1992 on the filibuster
to prevent an investigation into
presidential candidates dealing with America's enemies? I
don't have the records, but today's
statement makes it clear you must have broken with your
party and voted for cloture at that time.

Subject: Hillary rant
#65421
Bart, Hillary needs to differentiate herself by
something she DOES, not by things that have been done to her.
So far, she hasn't DONE a damn thing differently than
any other senate democrat weasel.
Sorry, a president is a little too important to choose
based on sympathy.
Nobody's asking you to cast a sympathy vote.
I listed some things that were done to her to explain
her motivation.
In 2000, Gore couldn't be bothered to fight.
In 2004, Kerry couldn't be bothered to fight.
Hillary doesn't need motivation. She's a self-starter.
And again, if she has such a wide majority, why
do none of her supporters ever write you?
What's your percentage of mail, for and against, and
how do you reconcile that with her supposed popular advantage?
-tom
Her supposed advantage?
Millions of Democrats are lying to pollsters?
As I've said again and again, the sane majority rarely write.
That's why I lost the debate that our soldiers are murdering scum just
like Al Qaeda.

Just wanted to add JFK Jr .....an almost certain

Dude, I can't argue with that.
Pickles would've voted for JFR Jr. and the fascist bastards knew that.
The BFEE didn't want any loose ends - so he had to go.

Subject: military budget
Bart,
Clinton did not cut the military budget
by 40%.
For one thing the budget is decided by Congress. The
President only submits a proposal.
This is usually learned in 8th grade Civics class.
Second, the biggest military budgets cuts
happened with Bush 1 in charge and Cheney leading
the way. Now this did happen with
the Dems in charge of Congress, but even then it
wasn't 40%.
Just like everything else that comes out of these
moron's mouths, it's a lie.
Have a great night
Jim in Kansas
Jim, thanks for that.
I have a great night every night.

Subject: Bart, the money-loving
conservative. And fuck you
Hey Bart,
Damn! You don't even have to try hard to piss people
off.
I know myself how it feels when someone you know, or
even a complete stranger jumps your ass
for some stupid reason, or no reason at all. I suppose
people perceive things mostly from their own
perspective and are unable to look at things from different
angles.
It's kind of like you are the Larry David of Internet
Political Humor (not an insult).
Don't let the dumbasses of the world get to you(I don't
think they do).
I say insult the hell out of me, my hide is pretty tough,
so is my skull.
Later,

Subject: Stern
Bart, I am a lawyer, and here is my unprofessional
opinion. Stern's show is not 100% parody,
nor is it entirely presented as a comic routine. Information
could be presented in the course of an interview,
or other context, wherein someone could make a potentially
defamatory remark. It makes sense to limit
your exposure to any lawsuit in that regard -- even one's
that you know you could win -- to avoid the cost
of defense, the distraction to your life and the risk
of exposure to judgment.
It is inaccurate to say that the law provides some
up-front, guaranteed out from a defamation case
just because the host of a show announces that its all
a bit. Anyone can file a lawsuit, and Stern is
doing what you do. He is the one who wants ultimate
control over where the line is drawn on his show.
Keep swingin' Bart!
Jason
Jason, thanks, but I disagree.
Dave and Leno and other comics name names constantly.
How can they be immune and poor old Howard Stern be at risk?
The last SNL, they outright called Paris Hilton a slut.
How is Stern at risk when other, bigger stars work without restraint?

I would like to thank the so called "Democratic
Party" for putting to rest forever the myth of
a two party system in America today. The Republicans
have the money, the press, and the voting machines,
but they don't need them. Our Government has been sold
to the highest bidder and works against the welfare
of the people it supposedly "represents" on a daily basis
with nothing more than a meek, pathetic squeak of
protest from the Democrats.
The Democrats managed a meak, pathetic squeak of
protest?
That'll be the day...
When the shit hits the fan and America turns into
a multiplication of "The grapes of wrath" times "Mad Max"
don't blame the people who sold our future to turn a
profit, history has shown that is only human nature.
Blame the smiling liars who tell you they abhor the beast
as they skulk off to suck on it's tit.

Subject: we need a wartime consiglieri
BC, it is almost irrelevant who the Dem nominee
is for President is. If the Dems fail
to learn from their chronic mistakes of the past, America
gets stuck with another Repug.
Diebold being Mistake "A?"
If we don't fix that, we're screwed.
Hillary doesn't have a chance if the vote doesn't
have a paper trail.
Off the top of my head:
1. Bob Shrum worked on 8 Dem Presidential
campaings and won zero.
Don't hire him or any of his
associates.
2. Donna Brazile has worked on 9 Presidential
campaigns, and 3 times won.
That's not good enough. Don't
hire her or any of her associates.
3. There is no vacation time
between the Dem convention and the election.
Calling Senator Kerry!
What an idiot he was to go wind-surfing
during America's crucial fulcrum.
while Bush and his Swiftboat pals were trashing him to
the Nth degree.
How stupid can Kerry be?
*I* could have won this for him, but he didn't
want to win.
4. Any and all Dem backstabbers will be cut
off from party funds, period.
Christ, can we make that a Commandment?
What's the quickest way to lose LIEberman?
5. Any Dem who ran in the primaries and is
not running for re-election must
actually campaign for the candidate,
while also serving as Rep, Sen., or whatever.
6. No concurrent candidacies (Lieberman
running for Senate in CT in 2000).
100% focus on winnning the WH,
period.
Lieberman had no intention of winning.
His, "Aw shucks" debate
with Cheney proved that.
7. No petty power plays among staff.
8. The campaign must wisely spent all of it's
funds.
No more of Kerry holding on
to milliions, only to lose.
That's so fucking obvious.
Kerry lost a squeaker with what, $16M unspent?
John, how could you betray your party and your
country so conspicuously?
Christ on bartcopcom if I make a mistake, dozens of
people let me know about it.
How did Kerry get away with trying to win cheap, when
his wife own f-ing ketchup?
9. Any candidate relying on a "lucky bowl
of clam chowder on Election Day"
or whatever to win will have
it extracted by ER professionals.
I don't get that one.
10. Expect Repug smears, and relentlessly
counterattack, every time.
This is where they need bartcop.com
The Demo wimps buy every lie they're told by the
BFEE.
(Mena Airport, Hillary's murder victims, etc.)
The Democrats might be powerless to win elections
without Ol' Bart.
I know that sounds crazy and self-aggrandizing (did I
spell that right?)
but considering the job the hopeless Demo-thinkers have
done the last 3 elections,
is there any doubt that I couldn't contribute something?
11. Force the election into the open. All
Dems hound the Repugs when they resist.
Is this too much to ask for?
Yes, because the Democrats have no balls.
They'd rather die as losers, than die as fighters
with courage.
Me, I'll die fighting.
