TWO NOTES from cbs RADIO'S 6 PM NOISECAST.
ReplyDeleteFirst,the humorous part: The female doing the news,read the story about Lou Carnesecca like a true pro,by calling him "Carsonecca." Practice,makes perfect,sweetheart. Wasn't that one of Johnny's characters on,"The Tonight Show"?
Hi--yoooo.
She also had a story about fbi director nominee,Patel,where she described the liberal's reaction as follows:"Trump is placing people in positions of power,who he trusts will go after the people he wants to persecute."
Hi--yoooo #2. They are literally crapping their Democratic pants about Patel. Amusing also.
