All the important issues of the day right here in the Michelle -- show Larry -- -- -- Larry. -- -- -- -- -- It's -- well I just what are remind folks that it's it's not Republicans. But the Democrats Chris Matthews get a tingle up his leg when he heard -- Obama's speech did debt. He carried on about that for months so. Obviously his dreams or someplace. I completely forgot about the tingle up Chris Matthews leg when he heard Barack Obama speak in this is forty years ago. Last month Chris Matthews talked about I mean he is the man is perfect she's the most perfect -- -- -- just hit a full. Are cursed team is when he was talking about it you're also are desperate. Well I guess they did the perfect type of terminology considering that demand from Janesville Wisconsin was hoisted on to the love pedestal and -- Suddenly out of his lovers and ended a -- stream of Republicans. Who apparently unlike Democrats. Need to try to think. Larry. Affect her dog that you would pick up the New York Times and -- sentenced. Not that never got my lifetime anywhere.

Had a -- Obama these fears -- writing it almost goes out of the North Korea very able simple want a leader. The whole thing -- just -- that this passes for journalism now -- Hi Greg Collins Peterson I can have an opinion when I'm talking or writing as I write columns. Of the supposed to be new stories. Absolutely. -- any worries I mean this is curry he did me -- -- in trimming budgets not can't plagued apparently. These these people are cannot write or -- or pocketbook issues so if I have something so peripheral and irrelevant says. Paul I was holding it and there. Brodsky using these just to be two of the best newspapers in the entire country. Washington Post in the New York Times and both of these broad sheets where allegedly some of the greatest minds in America. Are toiling away you know breaking open and the major stories. Need the papers had the story about the Pentagon official who was who was up lecturing himself to pornography on the public. -- are on the public side now that -- and make it but his story. This story instead of boasting about Paul -- -- work out perhaps mr. ride to get a skilled Taylor. Well I just want to say one real fear of a formidable intellect of Joseph -- That's right I did think that -- perhaps saying that. Hey if you have a slight Indian act saying go into a 7-Eleven might be a little sloppy here that a -- rumpled pants. It breaks -- show brains were dynamite Joseph Biden couldn't blows knows. And you don't wanna do in public anywhere with me on the public knows hello Peter. Yes I AM I mean you know wherever -- -- gonna get caught up -- you have to blow you know you can't help but you don't want to know what. Still it is -- the course. But those who. All Peter did did this this creature of adoration from the crowd that I have heard it a hundred times that I left every single time don't know. It's hilarious so I mean that is these these people have -- basically lost their mind that we heard god. When -- -- people keeping don't for the dirty Kleenex. All our -- I love that they do so much thank our leader Robert shot a -- we are AM sick -- WRKO. I'm sure you have noted that -- kinda -- -- According now now finally you know have their dreams -- realized saying to the Obama administration. Well. Jim brewer of Arizona. It's really their dreams. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Welcome back -- in this business and the dvi and fixated WRK out. Now is he in this sentiment. Behind the DREAM Act believe me I -- NEC. And these kids this -- -- plus some high school. Put together a film festival where they need these films. That are extraordinary I just Illini want to make sure that those kids are taking care. And what do you get to the young dreamers and just habit. You know all the added I have worked in the media business -- time he worked for a television station. And I've worked in newspapers forever -- York daily news I started as an intern at the globe. Boston Herald -- -- about the reading these stories which are not columns that's the key I mean added a huge difference do you call -- I could write -- -- the column. But new stories. Massive massive difference. So would you -- The mean from Janesville Wisconsin was quite synod to look at a solid marriage suddenly out of his loafers and into the sex dreams of Republicans. Who apparently unlike Democrats. Need this kind of thing. And then next story from the New York Times. They engineers some fashion guy says a suit should properly contained the body. It's a very empowering thing to Wear a jacket that hugs the torso. Which is what iPod right apparently failed to do. And then the story goes on to say instead of posting about his insane work out perhaps mr. Ryan she get a skill Taylor. Why challenge Kim teeny aides to pay closer attention to tangible details rather than abstractions like whether or not the candidates appealed to. -- I'm rich nonwhite voters in important -- is just the times been at times the Washington Post. Describe China as rumpled despite these sloppy. For a vice presidential candidate as a -- flaw in hours before mistakenly picked up someone else's suitcase you just reflect. Poorly upon. The media. Tell you when I worked into the July title was the the idea the presidential politics are so. Right now -- I've got Iraq. Iced. It's it's -- it reflects poorly on both I mean. That kind of language has no place on journalism at all I mean that's -- that you would read in some trashy novels somewhere. And weeks to take absolutely no facts and use -- -- flowery language -- say absolutely nothing. And just spew this garbage out and pretend that you're reporting on politics is just unbelievably and trio. It really is I mean I'm just saddened by you know every -- of the Boston Globe where I got my start as a co -- -- an intern. Just laid off a bunch of people I mean this is a result he didn't just the garbage absolute garbage. They you're reading in what is supposed to be the best newspapers in the country it's it's absolutely revolting. So I'll let you waited 6172666868. That's 617. 26660. Gate 68 the Washington Post the headline is Ryan Romney a contrast. In styles. The New York Times a look at Paul Ryan's fashion sense. You know -- it seems stories were written about Hillary Clinton or Sarah Palin and this is where it it has actually nothing do a party politics. -- -- Correctly would be up in knots. For because you can take our -- using good shape. And now I get trashed think yeah because his blazer was too big ideas see areas some in the Washington Post story said that he should. Trim his cops. Whereas can't wags and sent a budgets. John how me out -- well there's been a few minutes on us and I'm I'm gonna tell you a jamboree was up to an Arizona but. Am I overreacting or resist like I used serious. Policy does -- doesn't completely collapsed tactics. And there Labrador -- do it yourself. Stand out. Still this doesn't -- tactics from the war and every once again do we are talking about it. Went broke and being distracted from the real issues that's facing a country that Obama -- -- plans for the country is hope -- change didn't orchestra were this the wrong kind of change we -- country. -- -- and everybody knows that and vicious distractions and then we're talking about a -- would lead to really be talking about the issue is -- in this country. Broke I can really the only pro John I just wanna managing director at the guard to do it earlier Wipro where where -- broken Massachusetts where broke. But we haven't. This kid that headline of the globe today for the mentally ill designed departure now nobody would advocates for the mentally ill more than Iowa however. One -- most expensive public construction projects in the state history set to open tomorrow. Looks in some ways like a sprawling deluxe residential complex. Bedroom windows face landscaped greenery modern light fixtures a Millman a wide car doors and recreation rounds. Feature new treadmills in pool tables you -- -- target don't turn. At 300 in two million dollar mental institution that opened in lesser -- -- Deval Patrick want to shut down talk hospital. We can't afford it 302 million dollar a mental hospital was stuck. When that thing is likely to be empty because -- have amend the constitution and content. Did you might be the real story -- to (%expletive) I always say follow the money I can say why would to -- what is about Patrick getting out of shutting down -- hospital what is your motive what could it possibly be getting out of that and that of course. John was well before I knew that he just spent 302. Million dollars on the most expensive mental hospital in the whole world. Well that's not needed in all there a perfect example avoid. I don't patient each have their own private Roman bathroom from mayor they can -- weeks houses and neighborhoods in a downtown with a gift shop cafe hitters allowed Ben Chappell gin and recreation rooms. It'll probably just turn in the Roland -- housing. Nothing that in housing and anything about low income you re just not -- in The Herald today about -- -- new buildings that. They erected in Somerville and of course 10% every building has to go to the -- and gimme crowd the EBT card holder. Well that's just another example voice sort of taxpayer dollars. We don't always. Talking about rather then whether -- night. Paul Ryan has dreamy -- minimize. I agree with you portion is riddled with -- -- put taxpayer dollar. Well wishers there I mean they were just we just didn't stay focused and stay on topic and can just keep -- army are okay -- all right and dresses she is better than anything we've gotten pink in DC now. And to change idea I did these two. Stories appeared in what is supposed to be two to have the best newspapers of the country just says a lot. About the abysmal state of journalism and -- Only -- advantage stated support the display of the ball I just within the media. That's certainly I mean I think you can not deny that this sentence. And Demi was content was president of the love pedestal innards suddenly out of his lovers in into the sex streams are Republicans. Who apparently I like Democrats. That. Need this kind of thing. But that's what biased and that sort you know that's four -- -- -- Barack Obama Wear in the is delusional priorities Betty. US so all right it's the whole celebrity madre as opposed to what is -- guys stand for because back then Barack Obama is record was. Both of president I'm very important issues that would help his constituents in Scarborough but nobody cared. Thanks god I'm Michelle -- we are AM 680 WRKO. She she might dreams today -- illegal set of GM brewer I'm going to explain.
