The Stephanie Miller Show
The Stephanie Miller Show is a decidedly progressive left-wing liberal syndicated (via the Jones network) radio show that uses the quotes and sound bites from the media to poke fun at right-wing politics. The show features include "Right Wing World", "Stand Up News", "Tinsel Talk" and the occasional "Conspiracy Corner". The show is hosted by Stephanie Miller and includes "voice guy extraordinaire" Jim Ward, an impressionist who frequently mimics Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, and George W. Bush, and producer Chris "Boy Toy" Lavoie. Although it is a humorous show, it uses its humor to educate its listeners about current events and politics. It is taken seriously enough, however, to frequently include Washington and political insiders as phone guests, via the "Celebrity Hotline". These include John Conyers (nicknamed the "Patron Saint of The Stephanie Miller Show"), Barbara Boxer, Maxine Waters, Howard Dean, Paul Begala as well as others.
The show frequently skewers right wing media and political personalities such as:
- Scott McClellan: nicknamed "Puffy McMoonface"
- Karl Rove: nicknamed "Tubby McTreason"
- Tom Delay: nicknamed "Drunkey McPukeshoes"
- Michael Brown: always preceded by the title "noted Arabian Horse expert"
- Bill O'Reilly: always preceded by the title "phone-sex enthusiast"
- Ann Coulter: always preceded by the title "noted transexual plagerist" (Miller is still looking for a different title to avoid offending transexuals).
Stephanie is a self-proclaimed "Fox Blocker" ("She watches Fox so you don't have to"). The show takes occasional calls from listeners with the rule that "right wing wackos go to the front of the line". The web site for the show can be found at The Stephanie Miller Show, which also offers podfiles for download or mp3 files of the show, updated daily.
