Hey, goddamnit Ace, hitting on Karol is my job.

Sounds good so far.

Except, of course, for Ace poaching on your flirt territory.

That was over the line.

Ace - it's pronounced "PAH-lee-ah;" you were right the second time.

Except, of course, for Ace poaching on your flirt territory.

That was over the line.

I joined late...what is this about?

WTF - Scott sounds like he's about 12, totally at odds with his photo over at Powerline.

Besides being a former (?) Klansman, Senator Byrd is also a dead ringer for Senator Palpatine.

Scott: "...retired to live with Grace Kelly - who wouldn't want to do that?"

Karol: "Right!"

...

!!!

:D

Here's Camille on McCain:

The TV camera does not lie: Just as it showed from the get-go that ex-Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich was a nervous, shifty, sweaty, petulant mental adolescent, so has it exposed McCain over time as a seething nest of proto-fascist impulses. Despite his recent flurry of radiant, P.R.-coached grins, McCain has the weirdly wary and over-intense eyes of Howard Hughes and the clenched, humorless jaw line of Nurse Diesel (from Mel Brooks' Hitchcock parody, "High Anxiety").

I miss her column.

The clarity is much better this week. Doesn't sound like Ace and Karol are using tin cans. Sounds good.

And Megan, you're right. Karol sounds hot.

Dammit Ace, you didn't call Rosie a "magical retard." Don't tone it down, dude, don't sell out to the suits. Ah Ace, we barely knew ye.

Heh, the Sixty-First Minute, that post was gold. :)

Don't forget that the first person to catch onto the fraudulent nature of the 60 minutes memos was "Buckhead" of Free Republic.

Am I the only one who thinks Karol laughs like Butthead?

Anon: yes.

Doesn't Karol have a blog? What's the url por favor?

Karol doesn't laugh - she giggles. And her giggle is the giggle of a cute little daddy's girl with dimples in her cheeks and a bow in her hair, cooing over a pony as it nuzzles her sun-freckled neck. So fie on thee, Anon. I say thee fie.

Compos - here.

Hey, Dr Pipes has a pretty nice voice too. Smoky and husky.

Ace--

The vampire thing is called "blood libel," for future reference.

They need to add an hour to this show.

Jesus Christ, I didn't even notice it was almost over. Hell yes they need to add an hour - they need to add two hours if they can keep the guest quality in the f'in stratosphere.

Show sounds very good.

Man. Great show. Too short.

Just checked out Pipes' site. Now there's a guy who looks like his voice.

Excellent closing point by Dr Pipes re: social anti-Semitism vs the murderous political and ideological European variety. Ellen Mackay was dropped from the Social Register when she married Irving Berlin; she wasn't targeted for assassination, and neither was he.

Slubby - yeah, I think he's pretty handsome although I don't usually like facial hair.

Another fine show under your belts, Ace & Karol. Kudos.

thanks for listening, everyone, and the nice comments.

I think it went much smoother this week. I didn't panic. But we did run out of time again for a bunch of questions we wanted to ask. Time management continues to be a problem for us.

I wish you had covered more topics, ace. Everyone knows the Powerline/Rather story. Time to give it a rest. Plenty of more current and juicy topics to delve into. You sounded cool and collected. Maybe, I should run a Klonopin level on you? Oh, and who was the heavy breather? You, Mr. Pipes, or Karol?

Yeah, Karol warned me not to get into that. I still find it interesting. But I did intend to use it just as a springboard to get into more topical stuff.

But time is so short.

And I was cooler this time. Last time I panicked. This time I was pretty well medicated.

You still haven't apologized for hitting on my girl. I'm not letting that go, my friend.

With one hour, cut it down to one guest. You don't have enough time for two.

Or get another hour.

I missed about the first ten minutes because my boss came into my office and actually wanted me to do some work! Loser.

Anyhoo, what I heard was fantastic. Keep up the good work you two.
