Wende Wilde - deposed before delivery

I was planning to review Wendy Wilde this week, but she pulled up stakes before I could get my third sample day.

I did get enough to determine that she actually talked about topics less than half the time, the rest consumed by news, weather, traffic, and a lot of banter. More than once she gave the weather, went to break, then gave the weather again. Yes, Wendy Wilde is a babbler, not a real radio host.

Babbling leads to carelessness, which led to a number of ridiculous fibs, like money for body armor was diverted to Halliburton. Or this one: it is a felony in California to steal an avocado. She was totally serious. There was no surrounding context. Maybe she was thinking in terms of "three strikes and you're out" and even here she's wrong, but no, she's babbling, trying vainly to fill air time until another thought pops up.

Mitch says he'll miss her. I won't. And I have to believe there are a few Democrats out there that won't miss her, either.
