Last week I made a comment refering to Tweety's weekly essay (reference in my email) by saying that he must be in heaven about half the time.
Here is an email I sent to him about today's show. I posted this in GD, as well
Chris:
Last week in the essay at the end of your program, you said that you loved it when someone discussing politics with you told you something that you didn't know. Well, I am about to make your day.
You just began your recap of the various public positions on Iraq by completely misstating the "Murtha/Pelosi plan," saying that it was to "simply get out now."
Nothing could be further from the truth. If you had been paying attention, you would have realized tht the Murtha Resolution called for a phased withdrawal while leaving an over the horizon presence. I would go into it more thouroughly, but if you are interested, you can read it for yourself, or better yet, get someone who is intellectually honest to read it to you.
I can only speculate as to why you did this. Was it, as it seems, a blatant and intellectually dishonest attempt to parrot the GOP line and control the debate by misrepresenting the other side's plan. I would prefer to think that you were simply sloppy with the facts.
Neither option is very palatable. In either case you owe Representatives Murtha, Pelosi, and others who have endorsed this plan, as well as your listeners, an apology.
Sincerely,
