sorry, @secupp, but the Tea Party was nothing more than an utterly racist reaction to the election of our first African American president....any suggestion that it had anything to do with Bush is revisionist at best.

I'm new to this podcast, having only listened to a few. At the risk of sounding critical, even tho I enjoy the discussion in general, I can't listen to any more. The constant F bombs are used so often by the female, it loses its emphasis. I just can't.

At minute 34, a mistake: guest says "FOX considered Fox hosts should get together to say 'Joe Biden lost'." Meant to say "... Joe Biden won."

I must admit, I get a bit fan girly over Andy. I've been a fan for a while (since the Red Eye days) and so rapt he's joined the pod. Molly and Jesse are great too btw. Great pod.
