I've been listening nervously to Air America lately. The biggest surprise that should have come as no surprise is, of course, Janeane Garofalo. A longtime favorite whipping-post for right-wingers, she is what Republicans love to hate: a liberal celebrity female activist! Personally, I'm growing ever more fond of her. Unlike her shrill, hateful, monstrous, gay-magnet predecessor, Garofalo is smart, witty, measured, and self-aware. Unfortunately, Air America is also staffed by some Liberal Limbaughs: bloviating liars, whinny malcontents, and ignorant fools. Liberals are fighting an important rhetorical battle against those on the right who are intent upon labeling Liberalism as anti-American. It will only make things worse if we prop up voices that are, in fact, bluntly hostile to American values.
