Discover the Stephanie Miller Show - and be entertained

Funny, smart and beautiful (not necessarily in that order) lefty talk show host, Stephanie Miller, is a recent, happy discovery and a consistently enjoyable listen in the morning from 9-12 (Eastern).

I first saw Stephanie -- of all places -- hosting a game show on the Oxygen Network; a redo of the old "I've Got a Secret" program. Her show quickly became a favorite while eating breakfast and perusing the morning newspaper. Her quick wit and charm endeared her to me.

So when I found out that she had one of the oldest Prog/Lib radio programs in the country, I had to find out what she was like there.

Let's put it this way. Her show is a morning zoo with the main focus berating hypocritical, immoral and just-plain-stupid Republicans, conservatives, gun-nuts, gay-haters and whoever else needs lampooning.

Her all male posse is good, but they can't keep up with the constant funny patter of Stephanie herself.

She'd be a great addition to Air America Radio, but it's also good that she is syndicated in her own right. Let's hope more station owners catch her show and regardless of their own political biases, will make a decision to add real entertainment to their lineups.

Also, check out this blog entry from her site, Quotes from the American Taliban.
