With the House in recess, and talk jock Dave Ross on vacation, Seattle's irrepressibly progressive Rep. Jim McDermott tries his hand at talk radio --
live today and all week, 9 to noon on KIRO-AM 710. (That's noon to 3pm Eastern time.)
Outside the KIRO listening area, you can stream the show live (sorry, KIRO "Gold Club" sign-up req'd), or catch it in podcast later. I'll do my best to keep a running live-blog here, and you can chime in with commentary, questions and suggestions.
Part of the Joy of Jim is that you never know what he's going to say. "I think the president would mislead the American people"? "You can make people do anything when they're afraid"? "One nation, indivisible"? How about "I thought that was the mute button"?
Befitting his Memorial Day debut, McDermott's first guest is Rep. Jack Murtha.
Just in: CBS news crew blow'd up in Baghdad. Paul Douglas and James Brolan dead, frequent KIRO correspondent Kimberly Dozier critical.
So much to talk about this week. 1-877-710-KIRO
Update: Post show recap with Rep. McDermott and producer Tina Nole (non-broadcast podcast exclusive)
