>>> it's time now to "clear the air." and there are two stories we haven't yet mentioned on today's broadcast. the first concerns the news that a monkey, whose very dna is close to the political animals in washington, has been sent into outer space by the iranian government . of course, monkeys are heralded as intelligent and our closest an sesors and while they can often be found in the middle of a traveling circus , their real habitat is actually in the wild. one publication describes a monkey's characteristics in the following way. they are self-centered, mice chiefous, superficial, egoistic, conce conceited, restless, careless, overindulgent, and shallow. the other story we wanted to mention is that john mccain 's vice presidential pick of four years ago, sarah palin , has also been sent into the wilderness after fox news failed to reknew her contract. for the sake of clarity, these stories are not connected in any way whatsoever.
