Join us tonight for another edition of Book Talk Radio, the online radio show of the Progressive Book Club. The show starts at 8pm Eastern.

Call in at (347) 934-0465.

Tonight’s guest is Max Blumenthal, author of Republican Gomorrah: Inside the Movement that Shattered the Party Moderating the conversation is Salon.com columnist Joe Conason. This should be an interesting conversation - especially in light of the defeat yesterday of Glenn Beck acolyte Doug Hoffman in NY’s 23rd district.

Republican Gomorrah—Blumenthal’s remarkable, muckraking debut—is a bestiary of dysfunction, scandal, and crime from the heart of the movement that runs the Republican Party. He describes the people and the beliefs that establishment Republicans—like John McCain—need to kowtow to if they have any hope of running for president, and how moderates have been systematically purged from party ranks.
