government handouts except, of course, when the money s coming to him. half of the eye doctor s income comes from medicare, medicaid payments government programs. house democrats are close to a campaign finance deal that would force corporations to lobbies to show the public where the money s coming from. but of course, they re given a big exemption to the national rifle association. what the heck for? with us tonight, bill press, radio talk show host and also author of the book toxic talk loi how the rad dal right has poisoned america s airwaves, except when bill is on the air and me, too. and tony blankley, columnist with us tonight. great to have you with us. bill, let s start with you first if we can. drug tests out of work americans. where is this coming from? what do you think of it. let them eat cake as marie antoinette view of politics. what amazes me is how some of
the littleching excrement stuff. this is an old game. this is an old game both sides play. democratic congressmen who are against corporate contributions still take them and republicans say, oh, how can you do that, you re a hypothetical. they say you change the rules, i ll change what i do. same thing with medicare. as a libertarian, rand may well be against having medicare as long as it s on the books, he s going to let his patients use the program. it s a cheap shot, both of these are perfect examples of cheap shots meant to make two little political points at a time when we ve got such big issues before us. tony it, i think it s rand paul trying to have it both ways and he got caught in his own contradictions. i think he it s both parties taking cheap shots at each other. let s go to campaign finance reform to force corporations to tell everybody where the money s coming from except the national rifle association. tony, what do you make of this? i have two problems on this

good night, buddy. good morning, dad. (announcer) oreo. milk s favorite cookie. and in my playbook tonight, a couple of righty candidates are following the sarah palin media strategy. get reporters to submit questions in writing and keep your mouth shut around any media that s not fox news. that s what s happen. kentucky s rand paul started by canceling on meet the press. now he s refusing to talk to local reporters. would you vote for the extension of the medicaid reimbursement increase that the governors at least 30 governs want. submit your questions to us and we ll look at them. so you re not going to answer in person. harry reid s challenger sharon ang is also ducking all nonconservative media and went out of her way to avoid reporters on capital little yesterday and later the chairman
