There's a bit of a controversy brewing - separate from Opie & Anthony - over the comments made by the Quinn & Rose show on XM Talk Radio (ch 165) .
Apparently remarks made on the Quinn & Rose show alleged that Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean told Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius to blame the war in Iraq for the slow response to the Greensburg, Kansas tornado disaster.
The remarks made their way to FreeRepublic.com, which cited the XM show, "Dean called Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius early, around 5 am, one morning after the tornado had destroyed the town of Greensburg, Kansas and discussed with her what to say about the tornado and how to blame the war in Iraq and the Bush administration on a slow response to the aftermath."
The Quinn & Rose Show website also alleges the Dean-Sebelius conversation took place.
According to Democrats, the conversation never occurred, and as a result a cease and desist letter was sent to James Robinson of FreeRepublic and Dara Altman, the Executive Vice President of XM Satellite Radio. The c&d was of course posted on FreeRepublic, creating a comment frenzy.

Why don't they send the cease and desist to Clear Channel? It's their channel, and their show from WPGB.
That's exactly what I was thinking...Aren't 152 and 165 both exclusively programmed by Clear Channel still? Too bad XM couldn't use the fact that a CC show is getting them into some hot water as a reason to get out of the contract. Anyone know when that ends, by the way, and Clear Channel no longer has control over the music and talk channels they currently run?
That won't get them out of their contract. Probably the only thing that could happen is Clear Channel removes the show.
...b/c CC is not trying to merge. This is bad news for the merger (if you want the merger to go through)...
Dems don't have a clue... think about it, they are a shoe in for the presedency and whats the "Best Candidates" they can put up? A Woman and a Black Man? Are you friggin kiddin me?
