NPR’s popular “Wait Wait, Don’t Tell Me” trivia show gets its fair share of big name political guests (Bill Clinton called in once, for example), but host Peter Sagal knows that there’s a specific shortage he’d like to fill: Republicans.
Asked by Vulture, “Is there a dream guest for you? Someone you’ve been trying to get that you think you never will?” Sagal responded, “I would love to get more Republicans on the show.”
"One of the things I really envy about Jon Stewart is how many times he’s able to get Republicans on his show. And that’s to his credit: He’s seen as somebody who will talk fairly with everyone, who’s interested in everyone. And I am, too! But because we’re NPR, and we have that reputation — which I think is unfair, both specifically to us and nationwide — and because it’s silly, I think a lot Republican people [won’t come on]. I’ve been really eager to get a major Republican politician on the show, but circumstances are such that it’s getting harder and harder to do that these days.”

I nominate Bray and True Black Man.

Good. I’ve been saying for a while that Republicans are idiots to go to outlets that will crucify them.
yeah huh
Now that would be a great tag team. Doubt we would last 5 mins.
Pray for America to Wake Up
What, Republicans should go on that show so that smug, snarky, intolerant little p**ck can spit on them? Only McCain would be dumb enough to do that.
Juan McCain and Lil’ Linseed, his chubby side-kick, will perform for nothing, Peter. Just crank up the NPR camera and they’ll be there with their used-car salesman grins on, ready to stab conservatives in the back just as NPR does.
I’ve heard this show. Republican politicians, repub voters, repub policies have all been punch lines. People on the right are jokes to him, his panel, and his audience.
Why bother?
You would do great right up until the early unscheduled commercial break due to technical difficulties...(probably about 5 minutes)
Listening to NPR is like listening to Mussolini, except that I understand the words.
Might as well walk into a cactus patch buck naked.
Coulter and Levine could burn these effete metros down - rhetorically speaking, of course. Of course, TGO now identifies as a Conservative.
How do you say 'answered my own question' in Libtard ?
"And I am, too! But because we’re NPR, and we have that reputation..."
