DRUDGE: Bill Clinton Explodes!!

So right now on the DRUDGE REPORT the BIG headline is: BILL CLINTON EXPLODES: OBAMA FACES LOSS IN GENERAL ELECTION.

When you click on that link it sends you to a CNN article and a video with the former President laying out Senator Clinton’s reason why she’s not getting out of the races. Now, I’m no Hillary fan but come on Drudge. President Clinton never raises his voice, he never shouts at anyone, he doesn’t kill any babies, and he doesn’t explode on anyone. I love when the media makes a big deal out of nothing.

Here’s the story. Here’s the video.

**Special Note: At 9:04pm the DRUDGE headline now says Bill Clinton DECLARES…. yawn.**

Miller Loses It

So last night Mayor David lost his re-election bid to Tom Martin by about 21 points, you can read about it here: LINK.

Another big story last night is what KFYO reporter and co-host of LFN had to go through with David Miller. Shortly after the early vote numbers came across, Rex was thrown out by Mayor David Miller himself and told, “KFYO is not welcome here.” It is pretty much unheard of for a candidate and especially an incumbent to throw a single member of the media out of his campaign rally. Rex had called Miller’s people on Friday to make sure he could be there with no problem and he was told yes by Miller’s PR person (who has been great to work with). Rex was there as a reporter, not as a host. I don’t give a damn if LFN, The Chad Hasty Show, and Pratt on Texas has been harsh on the Mayor, you don’t throw a member of the media out. In my opinion it just shows what kind of person Miller is.

I also can’t believe that other members of the media have not picked up on this. What if KCBD had been thrown out? What about the AJ?

Miller doesn’t even know how to exit graciously. He was expecting Tom Martin…the winner…to call him! No, the LOSER calls the WINNER in politics Mayor Miller. David Miller did not even congratulate Tom Martin last night on KLBK or KCBD. Sad and Pathetic.

Goodbye David Miller, and thanks for all the great radio!
