PG heard a radio show, on his way to dinner. A caller made a point. William Henry Harrison, Rutherford B. Hayes, Benjamin Harrison, William Howard Taft, Warren G. Harding, Herbert Hoover, and George W. Bush have three things in common. They were elected President, they have a name starting with H, and none was re elected. PG thought this would be a good excuse for some text, to go between the pictures. (Pictures are from The Library of Congress )
When he got home, PG found a POTUS inventory, and quickly found an exception. Harry S. Truman (who became President after the death of Franklin Roosevelt) was elected to a full term in 1948. A call to the radio show was called for.
Mark Arum was filling in for Erick Erickson at WSB, which hosted the show. The screener answered the first time PG called. He was going to talk about the H issue, and the screener said that had already been discussed.
PG turned down the radio, and waited a few minutes for his turn. He said that conservatives were creating a backlash with the constant bashing of Barack Obama. If people want to defeat BHO, they should lay off the non stop bashing barrage. He was cut off before he could hear the reply of the host.
The radio was turned back on, and PG heard himself talking. It seems as though there is a tape delay, to prevent people from cussing over the air. After PG finished, the host said was that liberals said a lot of rude things about George Bush.
There are two things to say about this. Two wrongs do not make a right. And Mr. Bush won the election in 2004.
Mr. Arum went on to say that talk radio is a ratings driven business. The whiners are told to be as crazy as possible, to get the ratings and advertiser dollars. “That’s the world that we live in”.
