Talk About A Remote...
SACRAMENTO, CA - Radio talk show hosts will be broadcasting their shows live from Baghdad, Iraq. In an effort to shed light on the "whole Iraq story," radio talk show hosts from across the United States are traveling to Baghdad from July 7 to 17, 2005.
Move America Forward, a non-partisan not-for-profit organization, is coordinating the trip for the talk show hosts with the U.S. Armed Forces Central Command. Melanie Morgan and Howard Kaloogian, Co-Chairs of the organization, and Board Member Buzz Patterson will be leading the delegation of talk show hosts to Kuwait and then on to Iraq. Morgan, who also has her own radio show on KSFO radio in San Francisco, will also be broadcasting live from Baghdad.
Talk show hosts who will be making the trek to Baghdad include nationally syndicated talk show host, Dennis Prager (based at NewsTalk 870 KRLA - Los Angeles, CA); nationally syndicated talk show host Lars Larson (based from NewsRadio 750 KXL in Portand, OR); Melanie Morgan of powerhouse KSFO 560 AM (San Francisco); Mark Williams of Sacramento, CA's #1-rated radio station, KFBK 1530; Michael Graham of NewsTalk 630 WMAL (Washington, DC); Martha Zoller of Newstalk 550 WDUN (Atlanta-Gainesville, GA) as well as the RighTalk Radio Network; and Lt. Col. Buzz Patterson, host of "The Buzz Cut" on the RighTalk Radio Network.
Rumor has it that noted shock jock Hugh Hewitt was also on the short list to broadcast from Baghdad. Apparently wiser heads prevailed and realized that sending Hugh to Iraq would be far too dangerous.
For the Iraqis. We've seen the destruction that was wrought by Hugh on a snowmobile. Imagine what he might do behind the wheel of one of these? Or this? (Shudder)
