Today, on the Ed Morrissey Show (3 pm ET), Andrew Malcolm is on vacation, so we’ll have two new guests today.  First is conservative comedian Evan Sayet, who will also make appearances tomorrow in Simi Valley, in Thousand Oaks, CA on August 1st, and in San Diego August 7th.  We’ll talk about the history of the comedy boom, its state today, and why comedians tend to be liberal.

In the second half, we welcome author Richard Bernstein, whose new book Duped America has just been released:

While many Americans today are unhappy with the Democrat Party, they are equally dissatisfied with Republicans. Author Richard Bernstein, a former lifelong Democrat, believes that much of that dissatisfaction is due to the numerous lies perpetrated by Democrats and the mainstream media to discredit the GOP. His new, fact-filled book, Duped America, exposes those lies once and for all—while revealing the Democrats’ dangerous ideology, damaging policies and dubious relationships with special-interest groups, all of which threaten the well-being of our country.

We’ll talk with Bernstein about his evidence and conclusions.

The Ed Morrissey Show and its dynamic chatroom can be seen on the permanent TEMS page — be sure to join us!
