“A friend of mine was saying she had time listening to my putatively liberal radio talk show ‘Con Games’ (KNFO 106.1 FM in Aspen, 95.5 in Vail) because I had changed my tone over the last year and was now ranting and raving at Republicans rather than strumming kumbaya around the campfire. Her main complaint was that when I rage against the Republican machine, I am no longer talking about her, but about those spindle-fold-and-mutilate whack jobs who have built a shrine to Rush Limbaugh and other nattering nabobs of negativism. Ergo: she feels I am lumping her together with the lunatic fringe…. I actually am blaming about her and other Republicans who consider themselves somehow ‘moderate.’ One should feel uncomfortable when one’s feet are roasting on the barbie.”
