SCENE:\u00a0 The basement studio of AM1280 The Patriot.\u00a0 Mitch BERG is hosting his weekend talk show.\u00a0 \u00a0 Unbelievably, across the table is Richard CARLBOM, chair of the MInnesota DFL party.\u00a0 Why did he agree to an interview?\u00a0 Search me. G-MONEY, the producer, is through the glass window in the control room, adjusting levels.<\/em><\/p>\n

BERG:\u00a0 So Mr. Carlbom – you’re advocating a “special session on guns”.\u00a0 Since the House is tied and at least some outstate DFLs are going to be very uncomfortable trying to jam down gun bans, this would seem to be more of a DFL fundraiser than a special session.\u00a0 Your thoughts?<\/p>\n

CARLBOM:\u00a0 F)ck that cynical sh1t…<\/p>\n

(G-MONEY, the producer, frantically hits the dump button<\/em>).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

BERG:\u00a0 Er, you can’t talk like that on the radio.k\u00a0<\/p>\n

CARLBOM:\u00a0 Talk like what?<\/p>\n

BERG:\u00a0 You can’s swear on the radio.\u00a0<\/p>\n

CARLBOM:\u00a0 I didn’t.\u00a0 \u00a0I’m just talking like all the real Democratic men.\u00a0<\/p>\n

BERG: OK.\u00a0 So – special session or fundraiser?<\/p>\n

CARLBOM:\u00a0 Well, one f)cking thing you conservative a$$h0l3s miss is…<\/p>\n

(G-MONEY frantically smashes the dump button again<\/em>)<\/p>\n

BERG:\u00a0 Y’see, you did it again?<\/p>\n

CARLBOM:\u00a0 Did what?<\/p>\n

BERG:\u00a0 Swore on the radio.\u00a0 That’s a no-no.\u00a0<\/p>\n

CARLBOM:\u00a0 It’s just the f)cking way all of us m0th3rf__ing authentic big-d1ck Democrat p1ss working f3lch men Cl3v3l4nd St34m3r men are f3lch d1rty s4nch3z w4d (G-MONEY hammers the dump button; steam starts pouring from the delay<\/em> box).\u00a0<\/p>\n

BERG:\u00a0 You’ve been a political flack your entire career.\u00a0 (Looks up at the call board). We’ve got an anonymous caller on the line – Ken from DC, you’re live and on the air…<\/p>\n

CALLER:\u00a0 Mr. Carlbom, has anyone ever told you that you look like a slightly younger Herman G\u00f6ring?\u00a0<\/p>\n

CARLBOM:\u00a0 Ken?\u00a0 Ken Martin?\u00a0 Is that you?\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

(But the line has gone dead<\/em>).\u00a0<\/p>\n
