We’re delighted to fill in as Guest Host during drive-time tonight for the good John Scott on his “Progressive News” program on San Francisco’s Air America affiliate Green 960am (formerly “The Quake”).

My scheduled guests tonight include: Congresswoman SUSAN DAVIS (D-CA) on her effort to amend the Rush Holt Election Reform Bill to include a restriction on the use of DRE touch-screen voting machines; ERIC BOEHLERT of Media Matters on Dan Rather and CBS, the truth about Dubya’s National Guard service (or lack thereof) and other colossal MSM failures; and our big gay blogfather, MIKE ROGERS of PageOneQ and BlogActive on his “outing” of Sen. Larry “I Am Not Gay” Craig and much more. (Mike promises to break another congressional scoop for us tonight as well!!!)

Plus a Green News Update from our own Desi Doyen, Daily Voting News from VotersUnite.org’s John Gideon, your calls at 1-866-960-5753 and whatever the hell us comes up or breaks between now and then that I feel like covering.

As usual, this blog item will be an Open Thread during the show, hosted by the frequently gruff but always lovable Agent 99. (Hit the Comments link below, and then post and refresh to your heart’s content.)

The two-hour BradCast begins at 4pm PT (7pm ET)! Listen up on-air at 960am in the Bay Area or LIVE streaming online here!

    “Plus a Green News Update from our own Desi Doyen”
    Wow you mean we get to hear Desi Doyen! That is reason enough to listen in.

    Yes, too frequently gruff, I think…. I’ve been meditating on it and it seems to flow in waves. These waves seem to follow the waves of un-Americanism in the information ocean. I went postal on a Nazi calling for my ex, the inestimable Agent 86, yesterday, and it was SO violent that not even a trip to feed the beach squirrels so much as began to calm me down. So I went total Zen after everyone else had gone to bed, and awakened this “morning” to the news that Pat Buchanan, of all people, is speaking something like sensibly!!!!! O.M.G. So, it could be that soon I will be quite recovered from the latest wave. I guess we will see….

    A million dollars we paid to train him for a codpiece! Somebody should audit just how much this demonic little flea has cost the taxpayers over the course of his worthless life.

    Brad, I hope you were paying attention to the little civics lesson Rep Davis just gave you. Your question I think was, “why has there been so much hesitance about discussing the 800 lb gorilla (DREs) in Congress?” The answer, of course, is that because the Holt bill has now stalled and won’t be getting out of Rules, there’s no bill to amend on the floor, no opportunity for amendment, and no opportunity for discussion either. So, why did the bill stall? I think we know the answer to that, don’t we?

    I hope everybody noticed that your leading question to Rep Davis–“We’re told that there’s no support in Congress for a DRE ban. Is that True???”–flopped. The fact is, there isn’t anything CLOSE to majority support for such a ban, even if you and the NY Times wish that weren’t so.

    Before you inflict your good intentions upon our fragile election integrity movement, next time why don’t you learn something first about the legislative process?

    I live in Georgia and the election administrators out here are dancing in the aisles over the success of your attack job on HR 811–a bill that would have meant the end of paperless voting in Georgia. You say HR 811 would institutionalize DREs. Speaking here from the trenches in Georgia, I say you’re dead wrong about that.

    Thanks, GWN! I’ve been on the wrong calendar page all day from that headline. So I fixed it.

    Mark, I don’t know why you think a huge portion of the rest of the country’s elections should be put at risk because it might make it better in your state. Seems to me the power movers in Georgia have been darn determined to keep the voters all the way out of it, and even if you get paper back, there’s apt to be trouble. I wish you’d try to broaden your perspective a little bit.

    Mark #20 –

    Sorry, just saw your note now (coupla hours after the show). In re this:

    I live in Georgia and the election administrators out here are dancing in the aisles over the success of your attack job on HR 811–a bill that would have meant the end of paperless voting in Georgia.

    Well then, if “the end of paperless voting” means you’d have added paper trails to your DREs, then you’re welcome. You’re much better off without them, since it means you’ll likely get a real alternative (paper ballots) much sooner.

    As I’m sure you know, adding VVPATs to DREs doesn’t make you any safer. Just makes you feel that way. Thus slowing up the move to a real solution.
