UPDATE: You can watch the entire Sunday Washington Journal on the web, which includes the other guests today as well.
Thanks to Peter, John and everyone at Washington Journal who make it so very easy. Thanks also to Tim Carney, who was a pleasant surprise from the Rep. v. Dem shoot outs I’ve done over many years, where the right wing guy is always interrupting. Of course, it was the Washington Journal, so a little class was in order.
Appreciate all the emails coming in and extremely gratified to all the C-SPAN viewers who called in. The hate mail is losing out to the “I’m on your side” crowd, I’m pleased to say. One example comes from Tommy B:
PS, the gentleman caller who stated you laugh at the people you disagree with is incorrect. Watch the tape and you can plainly see that you laughed as people you agree with as well. He was just trying a third grade trick to throw you off your game – congrats that you didn’t fall for that sophomoric tactic.
Even heard from someone who was originally from Joplin, MO., where my dad’s side of the family hailed. Small world. Thanks Kathe K for your kind words, as well as RichardL from Arkansas who wanted me to remind everyone to go to Open Secrets to get the truth about Sen. Blanche Lincoln and others where donations and medical industry converge.
One gentleman who called in had a problem with my laugh. If you know me you’d get that it’s just part of who I am. The “pro-cackle” comments are winning handily.
I love your cackle! It made me feel so good to hear a liberal having a good time at the expense of the republicans. Thank you tea baggers and deathers and birthers for that! Hehehehe. I love these loonies. That take away all my hatred and collective consciousness that I had previously fed into the system. Now I enoy the ride like you. We have Truth on ou side. We are on the right side of history. We can not go wrong. The other (dark) side knows this and will continue to suffer until they end their selfish ways. So I say suffer and learn tea baggers. Hehehehe. – Todd
As for you “tea party activists,” as Peter labeled them today, sticks and stones, babe. Our side is still winning and even though I’ve got lots of complaints, I’m proud to be a Democratic progressive, because your side has no solutions at all.
Feel free to join the conversation “In the News,” our diary and comment section around here. Easy to join and express yourself. Lake Lady put up a diary on the show, so jump in.
Thanks again for all the emails and comments, including those who jumped in on Twitter!

For you Sunday morning early birds and political junkies, I’ll be on Washington Journal tomorrow from 7:30 – 8:30 a.m. eastern time, which is indecently early on the west coast. The conservative will be Tim Carney.
I’ve had a slew of invites lately, but this is the first one that has worked out time wise for everyone involved. Topics will range from health care to the economy to Afghanistan and Pakistan, but also Iraq and counterinsurgency, with a little Virginia, New Jersey talk possible, too.
It should be fun. I’ll certainly enjoy hearing from regular Washington Journal watchers.
