Upcoming: Congressman Charles Rangel will be our guest April 14. He will discuss his 30-year Congressional career and his new book, "And I Haven't Had a Bad Day Since: From the Streets of Harlem to the Halls of Congress." And next week, we'll have Eric Boehlert, author of LAPDOGS: "How the Press Rolled Over for Bush." Last week we had Mark Green, one of the new owners of Air America, founder of New Democracy Project and author of "Losing Our Democracy." We've had some amazing guests the past 3 weeks: former federal prosecutor Elizabeth de la Vega, author of "U.S. vs BUSH" which is going to be a movie, a courtroom drama on the Bush Impeachment. We also had Media Matters' Paul Waldman, author of "Being Right is Not Enough".
The OFFICE is my favorite show. Here is The Oval Office, a great parody with Bush playing the Steve Carell character.
TODAY on BASHAM AND CORNELL PROGRESSIVE TALK CALL IN and discuss whatever is on your mind. Today, Saturday, Doug and I decided not to have a guest, so we can discuss all the current headlines in depth and take calls from listeners -- that's YOU! Please call in and talk about whatever bugs you the most: the Valerie Plame scandal, the firing of federal prosecutors, Rove's hand in both of these scandals, Alberto Gonzales, our veterans, Walter Reed Medical Center, Westhusing's suicide, Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly... and impeachment. We have some breaking news regarding mental illness in our returning vets. This is not to be missed.

After the show, MARCH FOR PEACE in your city! We will be at Hollywood and Vine here in Los Angeles. Check out peace activities where you live. And if you're in Washington, please take a picture of yourself in front of the Pentagon and send it to us!
PETRAEUS LINKED TO SUICIDE IN IRAQ
EVERYONE: PLEASE READ THE ARTICLE BELOW ABOUT NEW EVIDENCE THAT CAME TO LIGHT SURROUNDING COL WESTHUSING'S SUICIDE. NOW IS THE TIME. THE CRIMINALS MUST GO.
This says it all: the anti-Christian greed and evil of the Bush administration, the corruption of the generals whom Bush put in place of the REAL generals who told him this war was a disaster.
All morning I've been praying for the world: for our troops' children and Iraqi children who have lost their fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters; for our precious, barely-out-of-high school troops; for the Iraqi people, for all suffering people of the world. Today will be a day of light and a new beginning. We can only go forward. But now is the time, the criminals must go. They have no place in this new world we are creating. The selfish, fundamentalist, divisive mindset of "neoconservatism" is a blight on mankind.
I've also been praying for our administration and our Congress to see the light. We can stop this war, stop this insanity, impeach Bush & Cheney & Rove, get rid of the debauched, corrupt, heinous neo-conservative mindset, which is truly anti-Christian.
NOW IS THE TIME. THE CRIMINALS MUST GO.
Gen. Petraeus Linked To High-Profile Suicide in IraqCol. Ted Westhusing, a West Point scholar, put a bullet in his head in Iraq after reporting widespread corruption. His suicide note -- complaining about human rights abuses and other crimes -- was addressed to his two commanders, including Gen. David Petraeus, now leader of the U.S. "surge" effort in Iraq. It urged them to "Reevaluate yourselves....You are not what you think you are and I know it."
