C-SPAN to Cover Linder's Appearance on Boortz Show Tomorrow Morning
August 28, 2007 · Filed under: AFFT Updates, Events
This just in, from Congressman John Linder:
On Wednesday morning, I will join my good friend Neal Boortz on his program to discuss the FairTax and the great strides we have made. However, as an added bonus, C-SPAN has traveled to Atlanta to film the show and air it live. Not only can you listen live on AM 750 in Atlanta, or via the internet at WSB radio, but tomorrow you can watch the interview on C-SPAN between 10:15 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. Please tune in.

Well, since no one else seems inclined to comment, here goes! I watched enough of the show to conclude that Neal isn’t comfortable with the TV camera’s on him. (Well, maybe he doesn’t need to be?).
John Linder wasn’t exactly a ball of fire, and the two of them sure didn’t appear to even be friends. Neal went off on a poverty tangent, thus using up valuable air time on an issue that wasn’t particularly important to Linder. They spent a lot of time worrying about why Bartlett wrote that article and made so many mistakes. Linder said he would call Bartlett and discuss the whole thing. There were very few calls taken from the listening audience, definately not mine.
During the breaks, where previous talk show hosts ranted and raved about their favorite subjects, Boortz either silently read his email or took a potty break. Very dull watching IMHO.
On balance, it was a waste of Linder’s time and sure didn’t get Boortz any Emmy award points.
