Keep in mind that Kevin Phillips is NPR's token REPUBLICAN on their editorial staff. Every time they feel the need to balance the Democrats, they bring him in, hearalding his Republican roots. To NPR, he is balance from the right.

The left is getting kookier and shriller everyday. They are being driven mad with the thought of having Bush as President for four more years. They know damned well their power will be disolved and that's the ONLY thing they care about.

Like everyone else, I look forward to reading the transcripts of this show. Can we finally hope to say RIP NPR?

Phillips has a long-standing intense dislike for the Bush family. A few months ago, his book Dynasty got some attention; he tries his best to paint the Bushes as a totally amoral family intent on using its oil industry and military-intelligence industry contacts to gain and keep power. Phillips is a bit of a crank: In part of the book, he tries to substantiate old claims of an "October Surprise" in the 1980 election (the assertion that Republicans cut some sort of deal with Iran to delay the hostage release, to defeat Carter).
