Give them a listen. Medved, Hewitt and Laura Ingraham are the 3 shows I try to listen to (at least some) every weekday.

Laura has the wit, humor and attitude that we all know and love.

Medved engages and debates the loony left better--and more--than ANY other talk show host. His show is like having a 3-hour logic, debate and argumentation class every afternoon.

Hugh Hewitt was an acquired taste. He has a regular lineup of some of the smartest folks in the country as weekly guests on the program. He especially focuses on constitutional law, but covers everything else as well.

Dennis Prager's show...well, it's usually pretty good, but moves a bit slowly sometimes. And while Dennis is certainly very bright and logical, he sometimes comes off as a bit pompous and overly self-referential, IMHO.

I'll take any of the above shows over Rush and Hannity. I only listen to them when I'm traveling in the sticks and I can't pick up any other program. I really need to get XM radio.

"I don't know who Hugh Hewitt is."

Check out www.hughhewitt.com.
Hewitt, grad of Harvard and of U. Michigan Law School, is also a Constitutional Law professor
at Chapman University School of Law.
He was a ghostwriter/assistant for Nixon; then was in DOJ during the Reagan years, having
been unanimously approved by the Senate.
He also did opinon pieces and some series on the big PBS station in Los Angeles (KCET)
as the token conservative, but moved on to talk radio.
It was interesting to hear him grow and get tough in dealing with Democrats/liberals
Hugh was very much the gentlemanly Republican...but after enough inteviews with
some jerky Democrats and the Florida imbroglio of 2000, he's a tough fighter.

Hugh may come off as a smug Harvard Man and a bit aloof as a lawyer...
but give him a try. He gets great guests, especially on defense issues and
runs great sound clips (I really miss the zinger outtakes from Rummy's press conferences!)
