Podcasting Liberally - Seattle, Washington

It was a night of thoughtful, post-primary analysis, intellectual dialog, and me yelling at people who disagree with me until they back down in fear. That's okay. I'm told conflict makes for good radio.

Joining me (Goldy) in passionate loud debate were Nick, Darryl, Lee, Carl, and token righty Don. Topics of discussion included the Richard Pope Fiasco, the right-wing corporatist conspiracy to take over our court system, Darcy Burner's surging candidacy in WA's 8th Congressional District, and the lefty netroots conspiracy to take over the Democratic Party.

It was a primary election night edition of Podcasting Liberally, and like most elections there were mixed emotions. Us DL regulars were sharing a packed Montlake Alehouse with a couple other election night parties, and while we all cheered as BIAW-backed, winger-ringer Supreme Court candidate John Groen went down to defeat, the Yes on I-88 and Bill Sherman for Legislature folks were left crying in the beers.

Joining me (Goldy) in live coverage as the election results poured in were Mollie, Jon, Daniel, Carl, and Seattle P-I columnist Joel Connelly. A fascinating evening of breaking news, erudite commentary, brilliant analysis, and of course, penis jokes.

The show is 49:39, and is available here as a 45.5 MB MP3.

Normally, I listen to the podcast before writing up these summaries, because... well... I was drinking at the time it was recorded and I want to make sure that I remember events accurately. But apparently, that's just not the Mike?™ McGavick Way of doing things. So I'll just write this post to the best of my recollection, and apologize in advance if I'm contradicted by the actual audio recording.

I'm pretty damn sure that joining me (Goldy) in an our sober discussion of the issues were Will, Mollie, Lynn, Nick, Seattle P-I columnist Joel Connelly and TV's Soleil Moon Frye. At least I think. Topics of discussion may have included Mike?™ McGavick's alcohol-hazed recollection of his DUI, Mike?™ McGavick's money-crazed connection to VECO Corp. and their Corrupt Bastards Club of Alaska legislators, Democratic challenger Peter Goldmark spreading like wildfire through WA's 5th Congressional District, and I think -- though I'm not sure, 'cause I don't really remember anything after I strapped the headset on -- I think we talked at length about how Rep. Dave Reichert's extensive use of steroids has swollen his testicles to the size of small grapefruit. But maybe not.

The show is 51:51, and is available here as a 38.9 MB MP3.
