Mediaite’s own Tommy Christopher was a guest on The Bill Press Show, discussing various recent headlines. He gave his assessment on (relatively) new White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, whom he thinks has “come alive” within the last two months, particularly with the debt ceiling discussion, and how Barack Obama seems to have suddenly “found a voice” and has taken to calling people out on both sides of the aisle — from Congressional Republicans to the (mostly) liberal members of the Congressional Black Caucus.

He describes Obama’s change from his last campaign to recent weeks:

It worked during the 2008 campaign, this high road business worked for him and he won doing that. And I think he thought, “Oh, that’ll translate to, you know, this.” But it hasn’t.

Press and Christopher also discussed Jon Stewart‘s recent comments about Rick Perry‘s performance at last week’s debate.

“I mean, that was not Saturday Night Live making fun of Rick Perry,” said Press. “That was Rick Perry.” Christopher nodded. “You almost feel sorry for him.”

The two also discussed New Jersey Governor (and man of the moment) Chris Christie‘s participation in a Vail, Colorado seminar funded by the Koch brothers. Christopher noted that Christie hadn’t placed the event on his public schedule. He also said that, while he gets crap for having “two first names,” at least he has two dudes’ names. Oh, Tommy. I’d lend Christie the name “Alex” if he needed it. Lord knows everyone assumes it’s solely a guy name.

LOL Tommy.

Raging, raging against the dying of the light.

But make no mistake about it – Obama’s “light” is and has been dying for a long time.

Now I know why Tommy Christopher claimed Bill Press was a “top rated” radio host. http://www.mediaite.com/tv/cenk-uygur-brings-loyal-young-turks-audience-to-currenttv/

If he is such a top rated host why was his show booted off XM norning drive time. What a compelling interview with two of the most interesting progrressive heavyweights in one place. I am shocked this didn’t wind up on pay per view…what an absolute embarrasement.

“Tommy Christopher claimed Bill Press was a “top rated” radio host.”

Only in Liberal fairy tale land.

Here’s one: “Two liberals go on a radio show and one says to the other…” - well, who the hell knows cause it was only the two of them and their closest buddies and coworkers who bothered to listen.

Please feel free to correct/improve the punchline – there must be something funny in there somewhere besides the thought of anyone listening to a liberal radio show.

Or a liberal hack site.

By the way, where is the story on the Republican Governor calling for the elections in12 to be postponed for two years? Oh wait, it was a Democrat/Socialist/Progressive/Whatever.

Never mind.

Press has the highest rated show on his stations in his timeslot! In the larger would of talk radio, he doesn’t make the Top 100.

These two morons make the case that being incredibly unattractive and enormously stupid must be prerequisites for being progressive.

I only came to remark about the “Alex” comment. What happened to days passed when Randy, Kelly, Alex, and many other great names were gender neutral?

He doesn’t have a choice. He has to go back to the well of the radicals and their verbiage. Independents that voted in droves for him gave up on him a while ago. All that leaves is the base.

Obama’s hokey ‘Hope and Change’ BLATHER was a complete failure just like ALL of his policies and since he CAN NOT run on his record he HAS to run a campaign of attacks.

Ask him why his campaign isn’t posing the question “Are you better-off today than you were 3 years ago?”

So that’s what this Tommy dude looks like, a balding simpleton.

That Bill Press is your typical, angry, vile liberal.

I couldn’t have said it better myself. I frequently ask, why are liberals so f-ing ugly?
TruDat

Liberals are fond of making stuff up.

Remember the time that Tommy Christopher defended his views against someone that doesn’t share his ideology? Yeah, me neither.

Am I supposed to even consider this boring bullshit news? These two guys are close-minded intellectual cowards talking in an echo chamber. Who gives a shit?

I really enjoy your mature and insightful posts Trudat. Keep them coming.

If Christopher was listening to the Bill Press show in his headphones then, wow! Press just doubled his listener total for the day. (Yes, it happens almost every time he has a guest!)
