I'm proud of my wife

The leaf is turning?

September 8, 2005 5:09:27 PM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums
The other day, when I went to pick up my wife at work, she got into the car when I happened to be listening to Sean Hannity.
Now, my wife is not very politically-oriented; her ideas come from snatches of information she gets from wherever they happen to fall into her ears, and from her friend "Becky". Becky hates GWB with a passion, and everything she tells my wife is skewed from that angle. As a result, my wife hates him, too, and never has anything good to say about him. I have had to contend with Becky's venom in trying to explain things to my wife, and since I'm just the husband she loves, my word is of course suspect and near-meaningless next to Becky's.

To her credit, she sat quietly and listened to Hannity on the way home, Michael Savage later on that evening and, upon awakening the next morning, "Quinn and Rose in the Morning", which she decided to continue listening to on the way to work. I opined that perhaps she could take a radio with her, and tune into Rush Limbaugh in the afternoon. She promnised to think about it.

Her attitudes seem to be changing; as a caller to the Limbaugh show said not too long ago, "Before I started listening to you, I used to think I was a liberal. Now I realize I was just uninformed."

Conservative talk radio has that effect. I can attest to it.

I'm pleased to report that my wife did, indeed, continue listening to Quinn and Rose, and even, to my utter shock, spent her lunch hour today listening to Rush Limbaugh. She came home with many questions, most relating to the difference between Left and Right, Conservative and Liberal, for which I was most happy to provide answers as best I could.
Hooray for our side.

All they ask is that you listen 3 hours a day. Yeah riiiight. If we did that we'd only get to listen to one show. So I can take it under good authority that your wife has been "Quinnoculated" or has she been "Hannatized"?

"Hannatized"?


Well, she got it in the reverse order advertised by the station....first she got "Hannitized", then "Quinnoculated" the next morning.
When she came home and told me she'd listened to Rush, though, you coulda knocked me over with a feather.
I told her to try Glenn Beck, too, though. He's a riot sometimes, and I think she'd like him.

She would probably like Beck better than Savage.
