‘Left, Right & Center’: Job Problems, Budget Battles, Romney Runs

kcrw.com

Friday’s job news was far from good news, pointing to more bumps down the road to economic recovery. Thus, it falls on “Left, Right & Center” regulars Matt Miller and Tony Blankley, along with guest panelists Ed Kilgore and Chrystia Freeland, to brainstorm about how to get the country back on track and Americans back to work. You know, small and manageable problems like that.

This week also brought even more squabbling between Republicans and Democrats in Congress over the national budget, as well as the return of Mitt Romney to the presidential campaign trail. Does he pose a real threat to other would-be GOP contenders—or to President Obama for that matter? Find out by listening to the show below. —KA

I’ve always wondered if Robert felt like he needed a shower after being on the air with that pompous ass Blankley and the sniveling little dino Miller ? And how he manages to take seriously somebody who thinks Newt is a statesman , not to mention works for Rev Moon is beyond me . The urge to rub the jackass’s nose in it must at times be overwhelming as he sputters along spewing right wing drivel. Now they’ve allowed that shrill prevaricating shrew Mary Matilin to pollute the show I now find myself often turning the channel . Like there’s not enough right wing noise on the airwaves already .

I would like to take the opportunity here to say to Ms HuffyPuffyPost ... KUDOS Adriana! The way you used those buffoons and talents to launch yourself to a nice little piece of pocket change ... what was it? Some $350 million? Great job!

I understand you’re the envy of Predator capitalists the world over.
