While I really wish Steyn had gotten the gig, I understand why it might not have worked. He isn’t Rush but his own man. He tried working with others to get a big gig going and got burned. He probably had a great time as Rush’s sub but would have a very different show if he had his way. And I know a vocal segment of Freepers wouldn’t like that.
But if Steyn was on the radio, I’d surely listen to him. As often as I could to both Steyn and Michael Berry.

***It would make sense to hand the slot to Rush’s brother David Limbaugh. He doesn’t have to fill the 3 hours himself, he would continually parade guest hosts, speakers, and panels. Rush wasn’t all that good at it. That has been Joe Rogan’s approach, let the speakers have their say. It would, of course, end up being a completely different program than Rush’s but David could insert the Limbaugh viewpoint wherever he wanted.
