Episode #188 Allison and Jamie discuss Gawker’s unfortunate and pointless gossip column featuring Christine O’Donnell’s unshaven vagina, and the $4 billion midterms. Specifically, Allison talks about the false equivalency of comparing union campaign spending to private corporate cash: http://allisonkilkenny.com/2010/10/false-equivalency-watch-union-versus-corporate-spending/, and the overall influence of the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision.
It’s time for more of your Listener Mail! Questions and comments this week include how to be an ethical consumer without driving yourself insane (and how Jamie fucked up as a consumer,) and productive activism.
Finally, Best Of The Left’s (http://www.bestoftheleftpodcast.com/) Jay Tomlinson joins the show to debate the merits of the Rally To Restore Sanity, and also to play “Who Would You Fight?”
