2. If there are any I cant find them either
Anderson Cooper maybe comes closest right now, even he isnt a liberal by any stretch of the imagination.... but he did well during the hurricanes.

Oh how I long for the return of Phil Donahue!

NPR used to have two commentators who self-identified as, :scared:SHUDDER:scared:,
Socialists, but that was probably 20-25 years ago. They haven't been heard from
in a dog's age, what with all the Heritage Foundation, Hoover Institute, Manhattan
Institute, David From, etc. conservative commentators crowding them out at NPR.
The conservatives, of course, *DO NOT* self-identify as such and expect us to
take them as "middle-of-the-road mainstreamers".

4. If you lean way out the bathroom window, you can just glimpse
a liberal on c-span once in awhile. Other than that, they were banned long ago. Everything changed, you know. Not to worry, tho, Wolfie Blitzer, the Spa Stud, has got your ass covered in the Situation Room.

10. I was just about to say the same thing!
I don't know if he's liberal so much as honest and sees through the bullshit (which these days makes you a liberal!).

7. There are still some DINOs out there like Paul Begala
and Tammy Bruce. I think they belong to the Zell Miller branch of the party though.
