If you want a serious conversation mixed with sense of humor, knowledge, intelligence and sarcasm in a highly-charged news talk radio show, along with a discussion of the breaking news of the day, then you’ve come to the right place. WELCOME TO “THE CHRIS PLANTE SHOW”!
CHRIS PLANTE BIO (some excerpts from WMAL) -
Chris Plante, often sub to Mark “The Great One” Levin, joined the WMAL team after 17 years at CNN including nearly ten years assigned to the Pentagon covering the U.S. military and intelligence community. Chris was assigned variously as Pentagon Correspondent, Senior Producer for National Security Affairs, Military Affairs Producer and as an assignment editor. He traveled extensively for CNN covering defense related stories from Saudi Arabia in 1990 and Bosnia in 1995, to Vietnam, Indonesia, Africa and the remote corners of the former Soviet Union.
Chris also hosts the public affairs show “Homefront America” which is currently seen nationally on The American Life television network, and is working as a documentary film maker. Representing the third generation of his family that has been “on-the-air” in radio and television, Chris brings a unique world-view, and largely conservative/libertarian values to his role as talk show host on WMAL.
Marching in lock-step with no politician, Chris says his political party is “Practi-crat”, “...because of my distinctly practical political leanings.” Chris received the Edward R. Murrow Award from the Radio and Television News Directors’ Association (RTNDA) for his reporting from the Pentagon during the terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001.
1 - “If it were not for ‘double standards’, liberals would have no standards at all”.
2 - “The very aromatic ‘Stinky Ahmadgenocide’ of Iran, along with the ‘ZZ Topniks’ - the Ayatollahs”.
3 - “Pit-dwelling, blood-soaked, sharp-toothed, murder monkeys and troglodytes from Hell” (referring to terrorists).
4 - “We screwed up Nicaragua? You got free elections, Rectum!” (referring to a Nicaraguan caller, Ricardo from Sterling, Va., who called the United States “a stupid country”) - 5/25/07 - Topic: Illegal Immigration.
5 - “We should’ve left you to the Commies - we should’ve left you to the Totalitarians, you Moron, then you’d be living at the end of an AK-47, then things would be better, wouldn’t it? We should’ve left you to the Soviet Union! I wish Daniel Ortega’s regime had never been disrupted and they’d just stay with the heel of their Commie boot on your neck!” (referring again to Ricardo from Nicaragua) - 5/25/07.
6 - “The Arab World [and more broadly, the Islamic World] is minting new lunatics just like Japan is producing new Toyota Camry’s!” - 10/29/07.
7 - “Our last caller, Clay, just stated that George W. Bush and Dick Cheney are more dangerous than Khalil Sheikh Mohammed. Isn’t it amazing?” (Note: Clay claims to have served 20 years in the military) - 11/8/07.
8 - “Where’s the ‘peace march’ condemning Osama bin Laden and praising the United States? There will be no peace march; there will be no rally. These people are murderous lunatics, waging war against us”. Aug/Sept 2006
9 - “There are a few daily non-stop flights out of JFK airport to the Middle East, but we don’t see these ‘peaceful pro-Islam organizations’ [based in the U.S.] taking any flights to the region to rally for peace towards the U.S. I’ll buy your damn plane ticket!” Aug/Sept 2006
10 - “Liberal Line #1: ‘There is no problem’”. “Liberal Line #2: ‘We [Conservatives] are the problem’”. - 11/9/07.

14 - “Smelly guys in their underwear, living off their parents’ trusts and living in the basement of their parents’ “McMansions”, drinking Fresca with one hand while clicking their keyboards with the other and sitting in front of their computer screens all day and night -- that’s the ‘Moveon.org crowd’ “ - Nov. 2006

Listening while I work, SW.
Now if the d@*& phone would stop ringing.....
Hey Chickie!
I’m sooooo excited for this convention! YEAH!
Are any of you listening to liberal caller Joanne’s 15-minute call to Chris? IT’S ATROCIOUS!
The woman definitely needs meds............
I was semi-listening to Pawlenty on CSPAN. Switched over now. Too late to hear Joanne I’m afraid.
Did you watch NBC last night? They played W’s speech from the WH without any applause sound so he looked like a smiling doofus for 4-5 seconds in between sound bites. Dead air in between sound bites. Even though Brokejaw apologized for it I think it was intentional. It made him look so stupid I can’t tell you.
THEN, they didn’t cover FRed for the beginning of the speech and cut him off at the end. You only saw a little bit of his speech. I was fit to be tied. Tom Brokejaw is an a$$hole! I wish Chris saw it.
Oh, and obligatory “Media Slut”!
But then MSNBC, miraculously, aired Fred’s speech in its entirety at about 11:30 p.m. — late enough so that average folks wouldn’t be able to watch it, since it’s a school night and people have to get up early. Idiots.
The mainstream media is becoming unglued.... they don’t know how quite to deal with the ‘Palin Factor’.... Andrea “Witch”ell was so frustrated that she looked like she’d been punched in the stomach.... Keith Dolbermann was increasingly anxious and went as far as to count Fred’s “72 grunts” (during his speech).
I LOVE THIS!!! MSM TOTALLY LOSING IT!!!
Oh and I also love my “Media Slut” status!
Joanne is the classic liberal who needs 1) heavy mediation and, b) to get laid SOON! ;-)
Joanne is the classic liberal who needs ... to get laid SOON! HEAVENS TO MURGATROYD! Exit, stage left!
If you want off my ping list get over it!
Thanks for the ping. I heard Silvie this AM tt Chris.
[Mrs T]
