REMEMBER - DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME - 2AM SUNDAY MORNING!
Charles Barkley said he’d show up for the agreed upon three days in the Maricopa County (Phoenix) Jail... although it’s really more of a tent city. You know, the place where inmates wear PINK!
Sir Charles was apparantly drinking in Scottsdale, left the watering hole, was stopped by authorities and failed a sobriety check.

It’s expected to come on Monday morning at a White House event. It’s certainly not unexpected but is of significant interest to NewsTalkers and listeners... the Bush Administration policy on Stem Cell research is about to be REVERSED!

There’s plenty of chit-chat about the "temporary" voice of the GOP... no, not MIchael Steele... we’re talking about the man who voices his show from his personal studio in S. Florida. Is he a man of the people as he would like for you to believe? Perhaps if the average man drives a half million dollar Benz...

Ineresting past week if you’re considering the "thing" that happened revolving around "Entertainer" Rush, Michael Steele, The White House and just about every NewsTalker in the counry. FOX News reaches through the surface to the basic underlying question... can the GOP find itself?

Then again if you simply want to enjoy the fun of the moment and contribute a slogan to the DNC, you stand to be noticed...

Friday Afternoon Chris Matthews Show on MSNBC:
Guest reporter from Rolling Stone Magazine Matt Taibbi ---- called Rush "A fat, pill popping, idiot"...
We’re not at all sure anything can be said after hearing that.
It caught Chris by surprise to the point he asked for a repeat!
Had enough of this over the top, political theater by now? Or, perhaps like some who have contacted us... you simply cannot get enough. The door on this issue swings both ways... but, of course, our outlook is from the News
Talk ’high overhead’ perspective.
Therefore, how about a weekend overview?

OK, we took a brief timeout from the Limbaugh/W.H. silly stuff but as we said days ago, the only one who is destined to win in all of this nonsense is Rush his syndicator and afiliates.
Remember, Rush’s #1 job is to build and maintain audience... he IS an entertainer and he’s playing his opposition in this game as though they are novice’s.
Rush, YOU DID LEARN YOUR LESSONS WELL!
Although, of course, we may not agree with the way this has gone and what you’ve said... but, we do acknowledge the results!
Click HERE.....
Now, let’s pause for a moment... Talkers Magazine as you read in the Post piece says that Rush’s audience has doubled?
And, the evidence and proof of that is what?
Our good friend Michael Harrison is now on record as stating the Limbaugh numbers have doubled?
Let’s check Arbitron.... or, perhaps Mr. Harrison has another source we’re missing.
If so then let’s know what it is and we’ll publish here.
Final Word: Even Chris Matthews on Friday afternoon offered Rush his weekly award. Chris doesn’t agree with what Rush does but he (as we) certainly can acknowledge the results. (There is a BIG difference between the two!)
Radio Biz --
Citadel stock drops from a dime to a penny then back to near a nickel in Friday trading.
Literally one cent - that was the closing price Thursday in a generally lousy trading day. But Citadel came in for special punishment with a shocking number of shares traded.
Get this - the recent average daily volume on “CDL” is about 840,000 shares. Yesterday - 18,491,029 shares traded hands. That’s 22 times the average.
One former Citadel staffer here at the Country Radio Seminar says “it’s going to be really tough, with the two-year closing date on the Disney deal for ABC coming up in June and the debt payments. Farid’s going to need friends, and I don’t know who he’s got.” (Tom Taylor)
