Talk radio is such a dead entity. Rush sold out twenty years ago, when he stopped doing all the spoofs and cutting edge things that had liberals howling. His show at one point became a documentary using Clinton White House talking points to help pass NAFTA. Caller abortions, feminazi updates, and discussing Vince Foster faded to black.

Savage was a wonderful host on KGO in 1994. I used to set up my Selectantenna to bring it in on weekend nights. He was very dynamic and confrontational, but he became Morton Downey Jr when he went national. He's so bipolar he goes from side to side on the few issues he discusses and the constant talking about his dinner and his dog are sleepsville.

Hannity is okay within three months of elections, as others have stated, if just for firing us up to vote for the squids. Otherwise his Rino butt kissing of “the architect,” and his pablum filled Republicanism, and defending outrages like the TSA is absolutely awful.

Talk radio is corporate formatted Republican flavored entertainment, and that's about it.

Right you are. Rush dropped the clever, funny, and biting satires and replaced them with hour-long monologues. At work, we used to talk about his spoofs. We don't talk about his monologues.

Rush is still is asset to the conservative cause. But he lost me as a listener a long time ago.

Savage is so bad sometimes I think you can make a case for him being a leftwing plant to make conservatives look bad. I will take your word that the show was better when it was local.
I don’t believe he ever offered a satisfactory explanation for those unfortunate political donations a few years back.
Are you aware that the nasty feud he has with Mark Levin is heating up again?
