Happy weekend y’all—Laura here, back with the latest Kevin and David week-in-review podcast. This week: Kevin and David bat around Obama’s speech timing, Joe Wilson, and the weirdest thing about Twitter. Plus: David doesn’t really like to talk about the truthers, which makes his latest take on Van Jones and 9/11 conspiracies all the more interesting. And is that a dog I hear in the background chez Kevin? Give a listen: Kevin and David’s 9/11 Week-in-Review podcast.
