I couldn't sleep last night, so I decided to listen to Bernie Ward, a radio late night talk show host. He is the best Shrub bashing anti-Iraq war radio commentator on the airwaves, and may be the only one in the country for that matter.

He was so fun to listen to during the 2000 presidential election. It was night after night of total all out Bush family bashathon. Bernie is an unashamed left wing progressive, and will take on anyone who's willing to call into his show. Ward is smart as heck, and he makes mincemeat out of callers who can't logically back up their positions. He's like the snarkiest prosecuting attorney there is, only he's a left wing progressive.

So naturally, I was shocked as hell to hear him endorsing Newsome for mayor of San Francisco and arguing with the Gonzalez suppporters and making them sound like idiots on the radio.

Bernie, the left wing Rush Limbaugh, supporting Newsome, that's weird!
