The David Goldstein Show (KIRO, Saturdays, Sundays; 7-10p) has become must-see radio for political junkies. His guests are thrilling the KIRO news team accustomed to slow weekend news days. Goldy's show is scoring real news quotes from real newsmakers making real news.
Tonight's show should be exceptional.
7p. Darcy Burner, makes her first media appearance after announcing Sat. that she's filed with the FEC to challenge Dave Reichert in the 8th District next year. As Dan Kirkdorffer points out at On the Road to 2008 Reichert's support of the troop surge in Iraq, has inspired Burner to challenge the Republican Party hardy again. As Sheriff Hairspray kicked off his conversation with CNN's Lou Dobb's recently: "Well -- well, you know, I was the sheriff in Seattle before I became a member of Congress and was in law enforcement 33 years." Yeah Dave, we knew that...
8p: Our powerful Senator Patty Murray will talk to Goldy about Walter Reed Hospital and the shameful neglect of Iraqi war veterans. She has a fierce record of defending veterans and veterans' facilities that long predates this scandal and this latest example of the administration's phony-baloney "support of the troops."
9p: Joel Connelly, Seattle P-I's beloved pundit and intyersection of Gore Vidal and Major Hoople. Expect pungent, multi-syllabic verbosity in commentary on the preceding guests, and other issues of the day.
I started posting on HowieinSeattle in 11/04, following progressive American politics in the spirit of Howard Dean's effort to "Take Our Country Back." I decided to follow my heart and posted on seattleforbarackobama from 2/07 to 11/08.--"Howie Martin is the Abe Linkin' of progressive Seattle."--Michael Hood.
