Joe Pyne is the original confrontation artist, and he was a well-seasoned pro who could see the weaknesses in his guests' dialogue and could attack accordingly. He was sharp, he was merciless, and he straight up didn't give a freak what anyone else said about it--JUST LIKE ME!!
I'm tellin' y'all, check out his story @ TVParty.com (see link in initial post).

RM, I did read it. Actually found it interesting. But as a person who likes peace and civility, was brought up in a very polite, mannerly household and kind of looks down on Jerry Springer and his ilk (unless I need a sick laugh
), I don't see being the granddaddy of controversial talk TV as necessarily something positive. But we can agree to disagree.
