I ran into Bernie Ward of KGO at Oakland Airport...
...I only had a chance to say hello to him but would have loved to ask him why in the hell he is on at the 10:00 PM hour??? Why not yank that jerkoff in the 9:00 AM Ron Owens (an Iraqi war cheerleader and Schwarzenegger lover) and put Bernie Ward on instead. I swear Ron Owens and his whiny little pathetic voice has got to be the greatest waste of radio time around. Owens was one of the cheerleaders in the run-up to the Iraq invasion, then had a lackadaisical attitude when he was proven to a lying asshole when WMD's were not found.

Bernie Ward is a breath of fresh air and has gone after the conservative nut-jobs in such a way that leave them embarrassed and aghast that they have gotten their asses handed to them by Ward. When I watched Faux News in 2001-2002 Bernie Ward was a frequent guest on O'Reilly and H&C for a period of about three weeks. He told BO that he was no real journalist and quit pretending and lying to his audience that he is. On H&C Ward tore into B1 Bob Dornan and told him "you have never fired a shot in anger in your life" --- B1 Bob went livid and Faux had to go to commercial break as no one could understand B1 as he was flipping out so bad. I notice Ward has not been invited back --- typical of Faux when a Dem makes one of these right wingers look like a lying idiot that they are.

To everyone here at DU KGO, based in the San Francisco Bay Area is one of the better semi progressive radio stations out there. They do have one freeper jackass know it all named Dr. Bill Wattenberg but even he is not as bad as the jackasses on the only bay area right wing station. You can listen in on the Internet at KGO.com.

1. Great!
How nice for you to meet one of our collective heroes. Bernie has been on Blitzer a few times. Once with Ann Coulter and before that with Armstrong Williams just prior to his debacle. Both times, Bernie was terrific.

Bernie Ward kicks butt in front of a huge AM audience
I love the man. Ron Owens on the other hand, as you say, is a fool. Shallow, dim-witted.

Maybe Bernie was going to Washington for some close up action!

Did you run into him on Friday? He did a special Friday broadcast from Disneyland, celebrating Disneyland's 50th anviversary. I somehow read from your OP that you ran into him today...sorry.

11. as opposed to say, the svelte Rush Limbaugh
who even though he replaced food with hard drugs, still looks like a pile of shit left in the sun for a few weeks.

20. and having a life involves mocking the weight of radio DJs late at night..
Edited on Sun Jul-17-05 10:49 PM by thebigidea
... on a board filled with people you don't agree with politically.

Yeah, that sounds like an actionpacked life alright.

Thank you for giving us a glimpse of your incredible life, I for one am honored beyond words to be in the presence of one who has a "life" - why, I haven't even heard someone talk in those terms since the mid-90s at least.

Mayne if I hang around a bit longer, we'll get down to 80s slang.

I do find people like you a bore, so i'll leave you to your tirades about those nasty left wing "elites" and stuff. Have fun with that actionpacked life! Night.

12. Why the nasty remark about Bernie Ward?
Kind of personal in nature don't you think? Why not argue his politics instead if you do not agree with him?

29. You agree?
indeed.
any guy that looks like him, I have trouble taking seriously - he has a serious case of lack of self discipline at the least.

Alert


Seriously?

28. I wondered the same thing. A gratuitous and irrelevant remark.
Edited on Sun Jul-17-05 11:00 PM by ailsagirl
I see no link between the man's weight and his politics.
Totally uncalled-for.

IMO, of course

:hi:

18. Bernie and Ray are a great team...
Been listening to both for years. Repugnants are unable to successfully debate either Bernie or Ray...so they get personal. Minds of gnats...morans indeed.

23. Bernie would just laugh
because so many repugs descend into making weight jokes when they have no facts to argue with him.
