William I actually tuned into the radio show this morning.(voa radio air america)
I am not a smart man but I do when someone is capable of doing their job. I believe you had three callers that got through. The show ended before they could take my call so here is what I was going to say.
You just got beat up by a liberal and didn't come through with a clear and concise rebuttal. You get a call from a conservative and you stutter around like Da Bush
Here’s what you need to do if you want to go to Washington.
1) You must find a boot camp for potential politicians. Your training must begin with learning how to tell big stories(lies) avoid the truth no matter what the cost. Never never try and answer a question that is asked of you.
2) You must work at a car dealer ship so you can sharpen your fast talking skills. This is very important because no one likes a slow talker. They might think you are actually putting some thought into your answer so you are probably lying..
3) Special interest groups, you must be able negotiate to get the largest bribe. This is important because you will have a lot of vacation time and will need money to party.
I think this will keep you busy for a while.
When ever you are in doubt look back to the radio show
If you let a couple of knuckle-heads beat you up. How will you ever battle the PROS on Capitol Hill. You will not be welcome, you will be treated like a red headed step child.
You are trying to go over to the dark side and you don’t have the force. Good luck


I hope this helps, they are all one
