tis the season for rooub fleecing, ed. john mccain was once the truth-teller of the gop. he was like the chuck d. and sarah palin is the flavor flav. if you want to spread christian values, you don t go being mad at people for saying something inclusive. you take care of the poor, sick, the least among us. the only problem is, if you talk that way, christians like sarah palin will call you a socialist. this is all about her trying to rebrand herself, until the day comes she is finally an announcer for world wrestling. because she has completely exploded herself out of any career. i was going to write a joke about sarah palin s future but i got bored and quit halfway through. john fugelsang, reverend barry lind, good to have you on the ed show. appreciate your time. thanks so much. still ahead, rick scott. victims are anxiously awaiting for the second coming of governor crist. stay tuned for the first chapter of our exclusive series in florida. we re right back. road closed? ther
