Cheney's Bunker Mentality

Dick Cheney likes to talk a tough game, but when he actually had the chance to walk the walk on 9/11, he hid in a secret underground bunker for days. But that's just the beginning of the story. Rather than being locked in his secret bunker with military strategists and advisers, or even counter-terrorism experts, the former vice president locked himself away with a group of GOP political hacks who know nothing about keeping America safe. Mike Papantonio of Air America's Ring of Fire talks with Mother Jones' Washington Bureau chief James Ridgeway about what Dick Cheney did in his secret bunker surrounded by GOP operatives.

Rumsfeld Fails the History Test

Donald Rumsfeld, and many other members of the former Bush Administration, have always said that history will judge them kindly. Unfortunately for Rumsfeld, his former colleagues in Washington aren't coming around, and a recent article in GQ Magazine tells us exactly what his coworkers really thought about him, and the way that he handled his position as Secretary of Defense. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. of Air America's Ring of Fire talks about this with author and GQ columnist Robert Draper.

The True Cost of Chevron

Two weeks ago, Chevron convened their yearly meeting of shareholders, where they discussed their record-breaking profits from 2008, and the future of their cash-flush company. But some of the things that weren't talked about in that meeting include the company's support of murderous dictators in Nigeria and Burma, their push for increased drilling off America's coastlines, and their lobbying efforts to get the government to approve more of their coal processing plants. Mike Papantonio of Air America's Ring of Fire talks about the real history of Chevron - the truth that the company doesn't want its shareholders to know about - with Antonia Juhasz, author of the book "The Tyranny of Oil."

Losing Privacy in an Online World

Without even realizing it, Americans give away their personal information on a daily basis. Through social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace, to simple online surveys that they fill out -- they are giving their information out to the whole world. The potential for this private information to make it into the hands of someone who has bad intentions is huge, and that’s why in our digital age, it has become so important to educate yourself and to be aware of what you’re saying, and who you’re saying it to. Mike Papantonio of Air America's Ring of Fire talks about the dangerous potential for privacy violations lurking around the Internet with Jon Mills, author of the book "Privacy: The Lost Right."

Christian Majority Losing Steam

Ever since Karl Rove made his unholy Republican alliance with the Religious Right, Christianity has been suffering from a severe decline. It doesn't help when you have people like Pat Robertson and the late Jerry Falwell who made their careers by selling a hateful version of religion that abandoned all of the principles which Jesus taught. Mike Papantonio discusses these and other reasons that have contributed to the decline of American Christianity.

"Severe decline" by what and whose measure?

And who is to say that Rove had thing one to do with whatever is going on in terms of religious affiliations and membership?

The GOP Jihad

The departure of Arlen Specter from the Republican Party had less to do with personal beliefs than it did with preserving his political career. But his departure wasn't a decision that he freely made - Specter was basically forced to abandon his party. This is part of a larger plan by GOP faithfuls like Newt Gingrich and Grover Norquist to rid their party of any independent thinkers. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. of Air America's Ring of Fire talks about this issue with Tim Dickinson, political correspondent for Rolling Stone magazine.

The Rise of Right Wing Hate

Since 9/11, the right wing hate talkers have stepped up their vitriolic attacks against anyone who doesn't agree with them or doesn't look like them. Through their demonization of liberals, Muslims, Hispanics, and gays, they've opened the door to a new era of intolerance and hate in this country. And with that hate has come an increasing number of politically-based murders - murders which are becoming so frequent this year, that we haven't gone a solid month without some right wing nutjob pulling out a gun and killing people who didn't agree with their beliefs. Mike Papantonio of Air America's Ring of Fire talks about this new era of Right Wing hate with David Neiwert, author of the new book "The Eliminationists: How Hate Talk Radicalized the American Right."

South Carolina governor, and former 2012 GOP presidential hopeful, Mark Sanford has been found! He had not been hiking in the mountains as his staff had originally said, but instead had apparently been working through a few personal issues off the coast of Argentina. And by "personal issues," we mean "having an affair with a woman from Argentina." So not only has he just Eliot Spitzer-ed his career, but he also lost the title of World Hide-n-Seek champion by giving up his location. With leaders like this, no wonder the GOP is in such dissarray.

Mark Sanford: The Musical - Don't Cry For Me Right Wing Media

As you most likely have heard, South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford has reappeared after being "missing" for several days. And his return did not disappoint.

Not only did Sanford admit that he was secretly in Argentina, and that he has been cheating on his wife with a woman from Argentina, he did it in song!

Mark Sanford: The Musical - Don't Cry For Me Right Wing Media

I wonder if Sanford will sing another song about using taxpayer money to fly to see his mistress? Especially after trying to refuse federal funds to help the unemployed?

Perhaps a toe-tapper about when he demanded Bill Clinton's resignation for his affair?

Also, a good deal of commentators, including Chris Matthews and Rush Limbaugh, have been commending Sanford for not forcing his wife to stand next to him at the press conference. Are we sure he didn't ask? She did kick him out two weeks ago. Isn't it just as likely that he asked and she said no? And if she did, good for her.

Rush, clearly heartbroken, also said Sanford could've been the GOP's JFK. If you say so, Rush.

One things for sure, Mark Sanford's song and dance routine is just getting started.
