And before the baby seal clubbers get all high and mighty, why won't David Dreier appear on the John and Ken show? (more)

Radio hosts to 'sacrifice' GOP waffler

By Valerie Richardson
THE WASHINGTON TIMES

The top-rated Los Angeles radio talk-show team is asking its listeners to punish the Republican Party for waffling on illegal immigration by sacrificing a California congressman — politically speaking.

John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou, hosts of "The John & Ken Show" on KFI-AM, have enlisted their audience to identify and target for defeat one local Republican congressman they deem soft on issues such as border security and benefits for undocumented aliens.

The duo, who call their plan a "political human sacrifice," say it is meant as a wake-up call to Republican leaders who ignore their constituents' pleas for stronger border enforcement for fear of offending Hispanic voters or the agriculture industry....

Their audience has narrowed the field to five finalists: California Republican Reps. Mary Bono, Christopher Cox, David Dreier, Darrell Issa and Dana Rohrabacher. Four of the five already have appeared on the afternoon radio program to defend their records; Mr. Dreier is negotiating an appearance.

The "winner," as chosen by the listeners, will be announced the day after Labor Day. The hosts then will use the airwaves to pursue the representative's political downfall in November's election — and have a little fun....

The show already has accomplished one of its goals: California Republicans are paying attention. Mr. Issa said he was shocked that the hosts would target a Republican when Democrats are far more illegal alien-friendly.

"It's the best example of cannibalistic activity," said Mr. Issa. "All 20 Republican members of the California delegation have views much closer to those of John and Ken than all 33 members of the Democratic delegation, but they're saying, 'You're not pure enough.' "

According to the group Americans for Better Immigration (ABI), the five have differing records on curbing illegal immigration. Across their careers, their grades are: Mrs. Bono, D; Mr. Cox, A; Mr. Dreier, C+; Mr. Issa, C; and Mr. Rohrabacher, A+.

The grades of two of the lawmakers have slipped since 2001. When only those votes and actions are considered, ABI gave Mr. Cox a B- and Mr. Dreier an F. The other three legislators had the same grades.
