I know roach fairly well and I know that his claims were not without merrit, and spoke to how often he had to have this same discussion about different articles or different claims. He seems to be as tired of it as I am.

How are you the proper person to say what is "center" or not? How is anyone? They tried applying one metric, and predictably were shot down from the left for their conclusions. And I'm sure that had they came up with reverse findings, the right would've been just as vehement in denying the validity of the report (well, not maybe as vehement, but similarly). I honestly can't believe how any of this is even a suprise: journalists, who vote largely democrat, have a left slant? What a shock! Next you'll tell me businesses are in favor of tax cuts!

His book wasn't bad, but when you watch the show he often takes a very timid liberal, very close to the right (or even crossing the line and going right), as opposed to madman Hannity who is a die hard conservative. I'd like to see (Bill) O'Riley and (Al) Franken if we were to have a show that represented both sides. I'd watch that every day.

I appreciated fox's attempt for awhile. Colmes was fairly liberal, but would often shift when they would get someone really outrageous on. And as for your proposed show, I think it would be horrible-a self important "comedian" who hasn't been funny since the '80's who went for politics to find some way for people to remember him paired with a self important blowhard who's claim to fame is...nothing? They would kill each other in the opening credits trying to get facetime.
