Jim Hightower. Few people can stir up controversy, talk politics and elicit serious laughter-all in a two-hour span-like Jim Hightower. During Jim's radio show, he and his round table of regulars challenge the boneheads of both political parties in Washington, as well as the greedheads of corporate power on Wall Street. With a Texas twang and a hearty dose of humor, Hightower dishes out straight-talking, anti-establishment fun live and on location from the legendary Threadgill's Restaurant in Austin, Texas.
