I stopped listening to him a year ago. He’s a tool.

And his nasal whine is seriously grating.

Does he live in Philly?

Guess survival is more important than integrity.

Did he go after the Philly Cheesesteak owner who wanted people to speak english?

Smerc is a good guy...

He can talk about being a lifelong republican all he wants - but if one listens to him - he’s just another kool-aid drinking lib.

He titles his articles like he does because nobody would read them otherwise.

Then, IMO he's not a good guy.

The title should be: “Stinking DNC Ad Copy Wrapped in Journalism”

His BS rhetoric can be cut with a knife. Funny how the republican party is so energized, and poof, he has an epiphany to vote demcrat.

Putting Obama in the White House will certainly not help the war on terror. Between a retreat from Iraq and his willingness to appease terrorists we will be far less safe with President Barry. Under an Obama presidency, I believe the terrorist bombings now exploding in Baghdad will be coming to schools, shopping malls and sporting events in the USA.

I stopped believing a word that SmearCONnish has to say a long time ago. He is one of those guys that tries to look for the “different” angle to see things solely for him to get noticed as opposed to being sincere.

He is a publicity hound, not to be trusted for honest opinion. He’s the opposite of, day, a Hugh Hewitt, but similar in that you can’t believe half of what he says. Hugh, for instance, is an outright shill for the GOP — not that I stand against the GOP, but Hugh is gungho to the point of sickening sycophancy!

Well, SmerCONnish is a shill solely for himself and he’ll say anything to get noticed.

There are some talk show guys that are sincere (like Dennis Prager, Mike Reagan, or Mike Gallagher for instance) but too many of them are either Hewitt sycophants, or psychotic Michael Savage-esque loud mouths.

We hear you talking... but your words are muffled and appear to be incoherent.

So I wonder why it is that he comes out and says this right after Bush started sending CIA across the border into Pakistan?

You can see why he did not do it sooner, I suppose... Because it obviously got the wrong reaction from the Pakistanis. But I guess Bush doesn’t care at this point, since Musharraf is gone.

When your ratings and readership are in the gutter, you have to do, or declare, something radical to get attention...it’s no wonder he’s attracted to obamamamama, he’s just like him...and attention whore.

"Lifelong Republican?" And he'd vote for someone who wanted to inflict a devastating defeat on our country in Iraq just get the get the better of the Bush Administration for not getting Osama Bin Laden? Mike Smerconish has taken complete leave of his senses!

He just wrote his talking head meal ticket. Smerc is now guaranteed to become the star “Lifelong Republican” analyst on MSNBC and CNN to “balance” the panel of liberals.

It’s the libtard “logic” that allows him to ask “Where is Osama?” on one line and then ask why aren’t we punishing Pakistan for harboring him on the next. If we don’t know where he is how can we punish any country for harboring him.

This clown actually used to have a decent conservative talk radio show in Philly. Now, he has become or thinks he is Howard Stern, except he can’t curse because he is on AM and he isn’t funny in the least.He has his own little Stern-ish gang that laughs at everything he says no matter that it isn’t funny. His ass gets kissed so much , that he must use Desitin by the caseload to get rid of the rash.I stopped listening to him when he started with this Pakistan crap and threatening to vote for THE FRAUD. Luckily in Philly we have Bill Bennett on against him, so there is something to listen to in the morning. He is supposed to be the conservative voice on PMSNBC, but he goes with the flow there. Don’t want to lose the gig.

O’Reilly uses him extensively as a fill in host on radio, why I don’t know since he is in bed with the enemy.Just goes to show you where BOR is these days. IN THE OBAMA TANK.

You nailed it perfectly.

He is such a transparent “player”. I stopped listening to him years ago. He spouts liberal garbage as he tries to set himself up as just innocently trying to engage in political discourse. In reality, he puts “lipstick on the liberal pig”.
