Perry Proves He's Master Of Lame
An absolutely shocking review by Pittsburgh Post-Gazette writer Ed Masley and my "in-your-face" response that was printed in their Letters to the Editor section.
Mad Mike makes several radio appearances on local programs such as Quinn and Rose, Jerry Bowyer, Mark Madden, Stan Savran and Ellis Cannon as well as national shows like Sean Hannity & Michael Reagan. Not all calls have been recorded, but here are a small sample of what has been said. Keep listening to these shows, you'll never know when I'll show up.
Mad Mike speculates from the Iowa Caucus that the Clinton campaign is setting Hillary up to be the "Comeback Kid Part II" The mere thought starts to melt Jim Quinn's brain. [Listen] 795kb - January 3, 2008.
Mad Mike gives his review on the History Channel's Documentary titled "The 9/11 Conspiracies: Fact or Fiction". Unlike previous "left-wing" biased shows that have aired in the past, the History Channel takes on the 9/111 Truthers and kills every crazy story they can dream up with something called FACTS. When you are a Liberal though, facts rarely come into play. [Listen] 1.8MB - August 21, 2007.
The Senate's vote for Cloture on June 26 has everyone up in arms. Mad Mike tells Sean Hannity that he wants a President like Fred Thompson to rebuild Congress as his first agenda in 2008. Get the RINOs out and get true Conservatives back in. Sean says - just don't be FOR Amnesty. [Listen] 675Kb - June 27, 2007.
Political Correctness has run amuck in the sports world. As Tony Dungy and Lovie Smith lead their teams to Super Bowl XLI, the focus becomes on them being Black, not on them being great coaches. Mad Mike has a different observation that he poses to Ellis Cannon that he finds quite intriguing. [Listen] 387Kb - January 22, 2007.
After a very long break from calling Sean Hannity (and a defeated Republican Congress), Mad Mike suggests that Sean support a Democratic candidate for President in '08 (besides Hillary) to combat the "uninformed voter". Sean says "I want Hillary" - WHAT?. [Listen] 2.70MB - November 16, 2006.
Mad Mike expresses his outrage over the Michael Jackson Case. Not so much that the verdict was wrong, but more so on the fact that this case now opens the door for Jacko to continue his "sleeping with boys" with no consequences. Geraldo Rivera says that Michael has promised him that he will never sleep with another boy... wake up Geraldo, you can't be that naive. [Listen] 232KB - June 14, 2005.
Isn't Wal-Mart in business to help lower income families? Then why is it that the Left in the country hates them so much? Mad Mike tells Quinn and Rose that it sounds like a case of "Selective Hate". [Listen (full version)] 693KB - [Listen (edit version)] 110KB - April 8, 2005.
After taking a "radio break" from the November elections, Mad Mike is back on Quinn and Rose to discuss his distain for the comparisons of terrorist prisoners to American Soldier prisoners. [Listen] 144KB - January 6, 2005.
It's a rare occasion, but Mad Mike disagrees with Sean Hannity about the fact that the Liberal Media, the Hollywood "elite" and musicians like Bruce Springsteen did not have an impact on John Kerry's election campaign. Au contraire, they did! [Listen] 2.40MB - November 10, 2004.
The Democrats (like Terry McAuliffe) try to paint President Bush as a draft dodger. That would usually upset Veterans. Why then would the Swift Boat Vets (who are Reps and Dems) back Bush and Not a "real war hero" like Kerry? [Listen] 286kb - August 20, 2004.
The media drops the ball on the Kerry in Cambodia issue. If Kerry lied about Cambodia (which he said was the turning point in his life), why should we believe anything else he says about Viet Nam? [Listen] 213kb - August 20, 2004.
Mad Mike "hogs" the airwaves with an extended comment on Quinn & Rose. First - The explanation of the Kerry/Edwards "Non Surge" leading up to the Democratic Convention. [Listen] 436kb - July 27, 2004. Second - What are the liberal going to do if Bush wins? [Listen] 227kb - July 27, 2004.
Is John Kerry killing his own campaign or is he really THAT STUPID? Mad Mike appears on Quinn & Rose and segues into a "Kerry Heads-up". [Listen] 96kb - May 4, 2004
Sean Hannity holds true to his promise of coming to Pittsburgh and Mad Mike was there. Afterwards, he makes it on to his radio show with some comments. [Listen] 1303kb - April 2, 2004
