CHRIS PLANTE BIO (some excerpts from WMAL) -

“The Chris Plante Show”, 630AM - WMAL, Washington, D.C. is broadcast live during the week, Mondays through Fridays from 8:06 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. and on Sundays from 12:06 - 2:00 p.m. by himself and with Jerry Klein, WMAL's Pet Liberal, from 2:06 - 3:00 p.m.

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.

He should auction off the letter a la Rush to a conservative charity.

Hillary Clinton sent NBC News a letter condemning David Shuster for the whole “Chelsea Pimpin’” comment... the point is that she sent that letter on campaign letterhead... if she was such a ‘concerned mother’, should she not have sent it as a mother (perhaps a little note or post-it note) and not on her campaign letterhead?

Sounds like a non-issue to me. So what if Clinton uses her campaign letterhead? It is her campaign after all. It would be a different matter altogether if she had used Senate letterhead. Why lob her an “issue” she can bat out of the park?

That’s exactly the point... why not just send a handwritten note on a scrap of paper? The campaign letterhead and the Senate letterhead are the same thing... they both say “Senator” and the woman is actually running for President... in fact, the campaign letterhead is stronger, because it actually says “HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT”...

Are you in Victoria, BC or Victoria, Australia?

Jane Fonda’s “C” word — that’s actually her nickname.

I don’t know? I not sure that it’s a non-issue, but it is good theatre. These folks aren’t going to be around much longer for them to abuse their power, so I’m not really all that worried about the long term. The media is nearly done throwing the Clintons under the bus.

When you have Bill Clinton on audio saying that they are simply standing up to “abuse of women and blatant sexism”!?!?

Well, hey, man,...that is just pure gold! I was a little annoyed by Chris replaying some of this stuff again, but it’s worth one more spin.

I’ve got a chill going up my leg!

Another good show Silvie.

Our dishwashing machine just gave out, so I was doing dishes by hand with my headphones on and laughing out loud.

Plant needs to move on and start knocking down Obama, but this was good for one more night.

SilvieWaldorfMD already won me over on that; so, I’m a flip-flopper I guess.

Bill’s a rapist and Hillary’s an enabler — it would be a travesty for them to ever again receive mail at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Be careful that chill up your leg doesn’t make your foot tap in rest rooms. :-)

That Silvie ~ she has her powers of persuasion. You’ll be glad you saw the light. ;0)

No mail. No postcards at Pennsylvania Avenue. No frolicking with interns in the oval office. Do not pass GO. Do not receive $200.

No soup for you, Mr and Mrs ex-President Clinton!!!

Our dishwashing machine gave out 10 years ago — been doing dishes, etc. by hand (with gloves, of course!)

P.S. Plante’s audio/video link of the interview of Bill Clinton was on Drudge pretty much all day long yesterday. YAY!
