A gracious good evening to all ladies and gentlemen and spammers of surpassing taste and political acumen who deign to comment during this broadcast. I am humbled before your good judgment, and strive to be more like you in every way.
I just very politely and smartly deleted ten spams! They assure me I am the very picture of graciousness….
And that is high praise indeed.
They need to turn up the phone volume…
There’s a certain etiquette required of all Malloy listeners. If you don’t hold with something, you do not say, “Pardon me, but I beg to differ.” No. Instead, you say, “Oh, hogsnot!” and then rant outrageously until the next break. So, perfectly acceptable behavior here, rest assured.
Hey wait – I have the wrong show!
WTF!
Funny, Sir BB2, I can hear them just fine?????
And, welcome, may I take your hat? Would you care for a beverage? Are you perfectly comfortable? Care for a canapé?

Click “Listen Now”…..
I went to Malloy’s site, clicked the player and listened to the Seiglman phone interview!
Doh!
I can’t express how much I’m learning from these “Stay Posh” spots. How did I manage before?
Your poshitude is beginning to show!
Can I fix you a drink? A spot of brandy maybe? 😛
Niners: 🙂
Well my daughter just brought me an orange icee – perhaps some vodka or tequila.
Though many doubt the quality of my upbringing, poshitude is actually my middle name, and I can cross the room with a dictionary on my head…. [If I hold on to it with both hands, that is.]
Epoxy works for me
It’s all just part of trying to keep us afraid!
(The threat from the detainees, not epoxy posh)
It so happens we have a stash of the very wormiest tequila and so, to your health, sir!
Watch the kick. 😛
And, well, the whole KSM thing is hogsnot.
How often are you on the Malloy Show?
And that “tequila” reminds me of my Biology days, yikes!
That’s not the only way Obama has mutated into Obummer!
Welcome, RD, I could prepare you something a little less hazardous. Please, make yourself comfortable. Oh, excuse me I can’t miss the Stay Posh Spot… yoga, practically posh wine….
reminds me of my Biology days
Eeeewwwwww!
Brad has subbed for Mike a couple times before. Just generally ready to hop in whenever Mike needs a break.
OMG – Terrorist bacteria waiting to attack your food!
I keep my terrorist food scrupulously separate from my health food. Only prudent. Very posh.
That is so creepy about the flag!
Battlefield? WTF!
Weren’t the majority of them innocent folks turned in by opposing tribes to collect rewards?
There’s nothing I enjoy more than listening to these commerc.i…a……….zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I am a perfect woman.
Mike Malloy sounds like Brad. What’s going on? Also, why does the official Mike Malloy picture look like he’s in HELL or something?

I expect a few flames in the background. Maybe put: “MOO HOO HAHAHAHAHAHA” underneath it, the “evil laugh”.
I think we’ve established that maybe half of the hundreds of detainees had any remote business being detained, and about five of them had some semi-okay reason to be held.
Which, we pretty much knew all along, but “nice” to hear the confirmation. 🙁
Danny, don’t be afraid of Malloy! He’s really a pussycat.
Hey! Did you know that someone else is on the Mike Malloy show? It’s not Mike.
It’s some guy named “Brad” or something. Anyone know who it is?
Okay. I just had to barf over that taking everyone without assessing whether they were fog-of-war detainees thing.
Poshly.
But, pardon me, anyway, please.
It never ends
Never heard of him. (But he rocks!)
Brad who?
No, it’s someone named “Dredd”. 99: Do you know anyone named “Dredd”? That’s a weird name. Who would name their son “Dredd”? Maybe they were watching the movie “Judge Dredd” when they conceived him…
Blad who?
Vlad!!!!!!!!
The charming Vlad Friedmanskinoviev….
Anything to this?
BBC Caught In Mass Public Deception With Iran Propaganda
http://www.rys2sense.com/anti-neocons/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=18968
I’m Persian, and…
Nonsense, nonsense indeed!
Yes, some Persians are so pissed about these Western interference theories they go just about postal over the mere suggestion of it… some of them go out and protest here about it.
I’m Persian, and…
Get thee to Gitmo!
Isn’t that what they say on Tush Lumpboil’s show when they want to squash the truth?
Hello, Tush? I’m a transexual and…
Hello, Tush? I’m black and…
Hello, Tush? I’m gay and I don’t want to get married….
Isn’t that the drill?
Ed’s Great!
U.S. Troops Kill Two Iraqi Protesters
http://www.commondreams.org/headlines03/0618-03.htm
That was June 18, so WE can kill protesters.
Turning our media into the American Pravda is what did it. I mean, really. We may be dumb, but we’re not brain dead.
Has Obama gone too far to the right?
He started too far to the right!
Getting worse by the day…
In Albania, if you say “the revisionists” everyone knows you’re talking about the Americans, Danny. Nowadays, I’m pretty sure calling us “the hypocrites” would do just as well……
When WE kill protesters, it’s for “democracy”…. Makes it all okay.
In those Bill Maher videos, Maher says he knows Obama’s not a liberal because he’s on TV. Liberals aren’t on TV (like I said): Nader, Kucinich, McKinney, Chomsky…I think Maher lifted that comment from my blog.
Hired soldiers, Obama’s guns,
They’re finally on their own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
17 dead in Iran.
Gaygo for Gays on the Go!
OMG
LOL LOL LOL
I’m afraid of walking around poshly smelling like tuna salad…..
Well, they couldn’t exactly call it “GoGay”, now could they? 😛
Tush says that is next.
I wish this Brad/Vlad guy would quit interupting the commercials!
What’s next?!
YouTube launches focus on Iran
Twitter will launch Focus on WWIII?
Those commercial breaks are pretty catchy, aren’t they?
I particularly love gloating during the traffic reports…. 😛
Oh yes, left over turkey burger – with my kids you may be taking a gamble – the burger could probably replace the feta!
I thought “turkey burgers” were what you were supposed to call Republicans???????????
I thought she said meatless football injuries!
Still processing the food commercial.
Desi is the Queen of Green News and Vlad is her dufus jester.
The lobbyists are keeping up our economy….
I hope it’s a big thick one – enough to heat my house for at least two nights!
Cheney plans to write memoir
With a forward by the guy he shot in the face……
Better yet – The cover photo…
Yes, people would probably buy it then!
Thanks guys! Had fun tonight! Hope you did too!
As usual, gotta get outta the studio (Stephanie Miller due here in seconds! Okay, in a few hours, but still…)
Steal that book!
Cya… 😎
.
Brad just really gets so giddy about sitting in Stephanie’s seat…. She calls Ahmadinejad “Imadinnerjacket”…. 😛
Great show! Thanks!
So glad Mr. Worthington talked about the earlier tribunals that the military used to use. There was no reason to not use those treaty-agreed methods to establish prisoners of war. EVERY American needs to know there was a bonafide method to deal with military theater suspected participants. That Bush made up a kangaroo court for his phony prisoners was unacceptable, that the houses of Congress went along was unacceptable, that Obama is continuing these kangaroo courts is unacceptable.
I agree with the caller Arman that this torture policy and the kangaroo court Military Commissions and no habeus corpus all point to an elaborate method to SILENCE PATSIES. Another possible reason would be that the Afghan Pipeline and Operation Iraq Liberation crowd wanted to give the appearance that something was being accomplished in their invasions and rounding up a bunch of innocents gave that impression, as long as they were never tried publicly with the use of evidence.
