Fred Grandy, hometown hero, WMAL and his posse, Parks, Neiman 630 WMAL Salute!

If you don't listen to the crass and vulgar Stern, or Opie and Anthony, or placid Bill Press, or find Bill Bennett on some far-off syndicated or XM wasteland, what do you do, where do you turn in the DC Metro area? To WMAL's (630 AM) "Grandy & Andy" Of course! And who are Grandy, Andy and Neiman? (as in Seinfeld's "New-man"!) They are, respectively, Fred (yes, that Fred!) Grandy, former Congressman of IOWA, whose airport SUX (for Sioux City) and of the television show of my youth "The Love Boat" (where has-been stars board, but do not depart! Sort of a pergatory ship of show tunes!). Fred is the renaissance man, famously vegan, funny, bright, smart as a whip unless he mispronounces things he can't read without his glasses (I know the feeling!) and is the rudder of the show. I tune in for him to slam OBAMA, Hillary, Dick (he is) Cheney, The Montgomery County Public Schools, Immigration Issues between ICE and my neighboring town of Manassas, VA, being over 50, you name it, Fred chats it up! Then there's Andy Parks, who enjoyed Fred Thompson as much as I did (he nicknamed him "The Cobra", replete with 'snake charmer music'!) who has been broadcasting for around 30 years - Parks is a department store Santa Clause (sic) type with a rotund republican sensibility that says, 'back off my property or I will shoot you, you SOB!' - AND HE MEANS IT! Bryan Neiman rounds out the trio and the sidekick's sidekick, a foil as newsreader with younger senibility (33-35 ish) nice young man who does not remember Fred's inferences to 'Glenn Ford" and "Chuck Heston" - a pity that Neiman wasn't born in 1-9-5-6! LOL!
Here are some of the boyz "hot topics"
Today's Hot Topics
Here are just some of the stories Grandy & Andy are talking about:

• Pope’s in town• Obama takes national lead• State Dept employees to Iraq• Carter & Hamas – The Grandy Amendment• Lieberman to GOP Convention• DC Madam guilty• Gas Tax Holiday• MD slots• Sole Survivor benefits• Mental health day• Lingerie crash• The Crapitols• Pillsbury bakeoff
I LOVE YOU, FRED! Play show tunes. Don't ever change.

and mrs. fred, love you, too
love and hisses -- kisses! xxxx's !

Sen. Fred Thompson reporting back for duty - Show biz wants you!


((( - He gave it his best shot, even with burps like Bob Dole's campaign advisor at the helm -- BUT PLEASE GO BACK TO L & O - MY SHOW IS DYING -- )))


Arts, Briefly
Fred Thompson Seeks Make-Believe Roles

Compiled by
Lawrence Van Gelder
Published: March 26, 2008
Fred Thompson, eliminated from the long-running reality show that is the campaign for United States presidency, is returning to the make-believe of acting, Reuters reported. Mr. Thompson, 65, a former United States senator from Tennessee and recently the fictional New York district attorney Arthur Branch on the television crime drama “Law & Order,” has signed an agreement to be represented as an actor by the William Morris Agency. Mr. Thompson has appeared in numerous television shows and films, including “Die Hard 2” and “In the Line of Fire.” His quest for the Republican presidential nomination attracted little support and he abandoned the race in January.


and I will keep wearing FRED ''08 buttons and the sticker remains on my beat-up (yes!) 2007 honda civic.


----and note to Fred Grandy of WMAL 630, DC Metro, yes, Gopher, he endorsed John Maverock-McCain for the sake of (his) party unity.


Thank you, Fred, Jeri,


Abbe B.

From highvizpr

Subject: POTUS Channel



Say, Chris, I happen to know someone at XM-Sirius, and P.O.T.U.S. '08 ("President of the United States") is XM Channel 130). Your pals at DRCTV (Dave is the man and knows EVERYBODY) could also hook you up! I will be e-mailing you. Let's make this deal work!

I Am Sally Field

To all of you...thank you. I am Sally Field: "You like me, you really like me." But I am a Midwestern guy. I blush easily. Two special thanks. I got a personal note from Fred and Jeri Thompson... what an honor! And former Governor Bob Ehrlich called me at home to offer sympathy. I reminded him that he was recently fired too. And yet we both think we did a pretty good job while we had it. I will be on Newschannel 8 at 4pm today...and I have had many offers to sort through. Anybody know a name at XM? Apparently they have a channel called POTUS '08. Sounds like a fit for me!

I cannot re-pay the kindness you have shown. As they say in radio....stay tuned!

Chris

From Fox News Sunday and the Benton IA News--(see below)*

----and it is an emotional Vote fer me -- you see, the Huckabee way saved my life -- the Thompson way is the way I live my life, (what a PR maven he is!), and my marriage is hinged on Rudy Guiliani -- and I am a Roosevelt Democrat! -- so, DON'T try to figure this gal who drives the glorious DC beltway to work every single day out!

* Huckabee: Room for more GOP candidatesThe Benton Crier, IA - PLUS FOX NEWS: May 27, 2007- WASHINGTON - Are 10 Republican presidential contenders enough? One of them, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, said Sunday there is room for more. ...((( run fred, run! )))
