For Once, A Righteous Political Calculation

This is the show from Tuesday, January 3rd 2011.

BEST QUOTE OF THE SHOW:

The People for the American Way have an article out about the Personhood movement. And here’s what they say, this is their lead: “It is remarkable to realize how, in just a few years and despite repeated losses, the ‘personhood’ movement has gone from a fringe effort that had no support to a central part of the Republican presidential primary.”

SUMMARY:

* Praying for Iowa: With four of the major RE-publican candidates signing the Personhood pledge Bob and co-host Doug McBurney marvel at the joy of seeing the issue of Personhood becoming more visible every day. And now they’re struggling with which of the four to support based on purely political calculations.

* Alan Colmes Career Ender: After Alan Colmes makes fun of Karen & Rick Santorum’s loss of a newborn child named Gabriel, Colmes is still welcome on the mainstream networks. But despite his rehearsed apology, we hope his career is over.
