Gallagher, like Laura Ingraham, has the basic fault of a second-line talk show host: they both will say something fairly clever, realize it, then drive it straight into the ground by repetition and chuckling at their own wit.

I agree with you about the repitition. The opening hour of Laura’s show is usually OK, but I’m almost never able to stick with her for the second and third hours — unless she’s interviewing a really topnotch guest. For example, if she says she’ll have Tom Sowell or Victor Davis Hanson in the third hour, I’ll stay tuned.
But I gotta disagree about your “second-line” designation. Laura may be a second-liner. But in my book, Mikie G. doesn’t even rise to third line!
