Rush Limbuagh, in pity, gives up his radio slot, to hasbeen, Mark Davis.

Rush Limbaugh show ^ | 5/14/12 | dallasbiff

[DallasBiff]

I called Mark Davis three years ago about the david letterman comment, about Sarah Palin, and guess who, defended david letterman, Mark Davis.

[Joe 6-pack]

Mark Davis is a like a bowl of cornflakes without the milk.

[stephenjohnbanker]

C’mon Rush!!

[CaptainK]

I have no idea who this guy is but I just turned him off after listening for 5 minutes

[skinkinthegrass]

Mark Daviswho?....

[stephenjohnbanker]

ANYONE but Davis

[Secret Agent Man]

Mark’s way of speaking is very milk-toasty. Always prefacing an answer with an apology. Really gets old. Just say what you believe, you’re not going to make those that don’t believe what you believe happy with your apologetic preface. They don’t want your apology for being conservative Mark, they want you to either shut up or agree with them.

Dammit grow some balls. He’s supposed to be in Texas, something down there ought to have done that by now.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

When I heard him say “Mark” I was praying the next word would be “Steyn.”

[gunsequalfreedom]

What is this about?

[TexasCajun]

I'd love to see Rush give Houston's Micheal Berry his big break.

Michael is just getting started on his syndicated program.

Michael's on target and a real hoot.

...even if he does go into a gay bar for cold beer.

[Ole Okie]

I turned the radio off as soon as Johnny Donovan said “Mark Davis”.

[dennisw]

He is grating and I am about to turn the dial. He is always grating.

[skinkinthegrass]

g*d! ..this guy discussing Associative Property of Addition. :^(

[SubMareener]

We just turned him off as well.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Mark Davis subbing for Rush. He is deadly : )

[Beowulf9]

Not following this. Rush’s show is still on the air, he did not get cancelled, so why is this guy doing his show?

[CarolinaGOP]

Today was only the second time I tried listening to him. He would be a cure for insomnia!

[stephenjohnbanker]

Deadly bore too.

[Cricket24]

Glad I check FR out. Now I won’t turn Rush on at all today! Thanks for the heads up! That guy isn’t on there all week, is he???

[ScottinVA]

When I heard him say “Mark” I was praying the next word would be “Steyn.”

No, no, no.... we have to wait until "Uyghur Wednesday" for Mark Steyn!

[Utah Binger]

2 seconds and POOF!

[Dr. Sivana]

When I heard him say “Mark” I was praying the next word would be “Steyn.”

Belling would do, though he sounds like he always has a stuffed nose or something.

One of the hostesses on his show, Vicki McKenna, is exceptional, and should be given a shot one of these days. She's like a conservative Ann Coulter, only quicker.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

He’s not only dull, he sounds condescending. Give me Steyn!

[Jane Long]

Ditto, ditto. No Rush for me, today!

[nutmeg]

Mark Davis sucks! I will never understand why Rush tortures his listeners with Davis, while taking his many, many "vacation days" from the Golden EIB.

So is Rush a powerful radio talk show host who plays golf as a hobby, or is he a golfer who has a little radio show on the side as a hobby?? Grrr....

[jimfree]

You folks are pathetic, absolutely pathetic. Mark is an able talk host. You may disagree with his style or opinions and that is fine but your comments come across like those of the 7th graders on MSNBC and Air America.

[Dr. Sivana]

One of the hostesses on his show, Vicki McKenna, is exceptional,

I meant to write "station", not "show".

[skinkinthegrass]

I'd love to see Rush give Houston's Micheal Berry his big break.agree, he's great...very good set-up for RUSH....
so is ...Mike McConnell, WGN 720...Neal Brootz out of Atlanta, GA
but...Mark Davis, Is (still) better than Rusty Rhoads et.al.

[Lakeshark]

Mark Davis subbing for Rush. He is deadly

Slight alteration:
Mark Davis subbing for Rush. He is deadly, simply dull, boring, and generally awful to listen to so I don't.

I guess you could say that's deadly.........whatever.........:-)

[rawhide]

Rush returns tomorrow.

[bmwcyle]

I guess Mark comes cheap.

[dfwgator]

It’s not like he’s Chrissy Matthews.

[bsdsan]

Why doesn't Rush let Bo Snerdley guest host?

Boortz let's Herman.

[mnehring]

He did handle the Buildacheezeburger Alex Jones type well.

[skinkinthegrass]

Mark is an able talk host..that is fine but your comments come
across like those of the 7th graders on MSNBC and Air America.good points....

[stephenjohnbanker]

I never listen to him either : )

[Sequoyah101]

It is a shame that there are winners and losers. Some people aren’t suited for their chosen profession and Davis is one of them.

Bad choice Rush, bad decision EIB for your advertisers not nearly as many will hear their adds today. I’m one of of them who switched the show off in just a minute or two. It was pablum.

I expected to be hearing a bombast about oblablaloons very bad week, uncle joe’s continuing gaffs and the first gay boy president. Maybe that is what he eventually got to but I never gave it much of a chance since the delivery was so tepid.

[basil]

We may come across as immature to you—but a lot of us remember Mark from his long-running show in Dallas.

He spent eons of time talking about his wife who had contracted MS, I believe it was, and his daughter, Regina.

Well, I left Dallas and didn’t hear his program for years—but imagine my surprise to hear that he had married in the interim.

Does anyone know what happened to his first wirfe? Is she still alive?

The daughter must be grown and probably on her on these days.......

[beandog]

Mark is who is pathetic. Just because we don’t like him and consider him a horrible talk show host does not mean we are behaving like 7th graders. You like him, we don’t. I think he’s a giant phony and he makes my skin crawl.

[LibLieSlayer]

mark davis is a progressive gop/e drone.

LLS

[nutmeg]

I’m one of of them who switched the show off in just a minute or two. It was pablum.

Perfect description of Mark Davis's on-air appearances: PABLUM.

I will take any of the other Rush subs any day (although nobody does it better than El Rushbo). But when I hear Davis' voice, the radio clicks OFF for three hours. He is unbearable.

[skinkinthegrass]

Why doesn't Rush let Bo Snerdley
guest host?...Boortz let's Herman.???? and H.C. had his own show, too...

[Last Dakotan]

What happened to Mark Belling subbing? He did a good job.

[Lakeshark]

I tried.

Once.

Didn't work. Generally I like Steyn and his humor if someone's going to sub for Rush.

We have had the good fortune of being able to listen to Rush most of his first hour since the early nineties, and never liked it as much when he was gone no matter who subbed for him.

[nutmeg]

Why doesn't Rush let Bo Snerdley guest host?

GREAT idea!

[Yaelle]

I love your explanation of how he apologizes for everything he is about to say. It drives me NUTS!

I call it asides to his asides’ asides.

Here is my Mark Davis impersonation:

“if we want to know what Mitt Romney’s real positions are on the issues, and what I mean about his real positions are the positions the man actually holds in his heart, and I know you might say that mitt Romney doesn’t have a heart at all, putting his dog on the roof of his car, but that story may have been just a serious mistake Romney once made, and whom of us wishes to be judged on our worst mistake, I know I’ve made mistakes in my day that I’d certainly not like you to judge me on, because then I’d never be able to sub for the magnificent Rush, and how I am enjoying being with you here today,...”

[Tex-Con-Man]

A condescending self-imagined intellectual basking in the glory of his own voice and pretentious vocabulary.

Un.list.en.a.ble.

[shove_it]

Seems like it’s getting more and more like the “Not Rush” Show. I’ve scaled back because of all these pinch hitters. What’s up? Is Rush sick or in training for the PGA tour?

[jimfree]

I know you are but what am I? Damn it folks. Let Mark be Mark and you can just listen to Oprah or somebody.

[mnehring]

I hate to tell you, but I remember a while back (year or more) Rush’s guest host listener ratings and Davis was near the top. Milk toast works for a lot of folks.
