Levin just got a second hour too WOO! HOO!

Andrew Wilcow on Sundays at 12 is pretty good too... Steve Malzberg is good when I'm up late or on Sundays

I listen to Tony Snow's show online on Fox News Radio out of Beaumont, TX. It's pretty good.

I would place Michael Medved on a par with — or even a bit above — Rush Limbaugh.

Is overly shrill - after President Bush proposed (note proposed, it's DOA), Savage called for Bush to be impeached... VERY nasty on the phone, interpersonal skills are awful...

Re: Savage.

I agree that he is overly shrill. It was like listening to someone scrape their fingernails across a blackboard.

I said "was" because his local affiliate here in Dallas (570 KLIF-AM) dropped him for some reason. No other AM station has picked him up yet around here.

A.K.A. Sleepy Brown

Hannity is a self-loving blow-hard. He just adored himself, and adores being adored. And sometimes he does a poor job with smart liberal interviewees. (Robert Reich has embarassed Sean on occasion, and a smarter host could have handled it.)

Sean is more pretty-boy than brilliant.

O'Reilly is obsessed with teen sex, and is not a conservative (he will jump for populist big-government plans when they appeal to him.

Hannity is most like a politician, Savage is least.

Good essay..sure to stimulate comments. UMHO, Bib Grants' career started downhill when Cuomo left Albany. Talk about loathing another human being. Grant's disdain for "Cu-mo" was dripping. He lost his besttarget..never found a replacement...

[Odyssey-x]

Yup, I'm sick of Mike Savage. I listened to him for years but he just started getting to repetitive, always going back to the same themes, over and over again. He also always tries to say that he's not with anybody that he's totally independent and overdoes this to death, like he has to prove it because the listeners don't believe him.
That's the death of a talk show host, when they stop coming up with new ideas. Rush is great because he can always find some new angle or some new dynamic.

[LanPB01]

Am I the only Freeper that enjoys Savage the most? Sure, he probably provides less facts and has the worst interpersonal skills of anyone. But you can't deny he's entertaining.

[TomGuy]

That vicious SOB (to quote O'reilly), Neal Boortz.

Neal can be interesting to listen to.

[Hildy]

Bob Grant never got his due. If it weren't for Bob Grant, there'd be no Rush Limbaugh. That being said, I grew up with Bob Grant screaming in my house EVERY SINGLE DAY. He has to be about 85, because he was there my entire childhood. If he didn't like you, he'd insult you and hang up on you. Rush never does that and that is why Grant never garnered the success like Rush did. Althoug a fine conservative, he is and was a one trick pony.

[McGruff]

Who is this Levin guy anyway? He's always giving out free government cheese, but only to liberal callers.

I see you didn't even mention Kurtis and Commie. I wouldn't include them either.

What about IMUS?

[PRSOrlando]

Totally disagree, Savage is the man. Not a Republican cheerleader like most of the shows you listed.

BTW, is Mark Levin syndicated? The only station I know his program is on is WABC out of New York.

[k2blader]

Nice vanity. :-)

But where's Rusty Humphries?

[WinOne4TheGipper]

Glenn Beck- Strengths- Very funny when doing parodies, arguably the best. Not afraid to sock it to the Dems. "John Kerry's Waffle House". Weaknesses: Can sometimes spend too much time on parodies, may not be the most informed host. Good when followed by Rush.

Dr. Laura- strengths- firm, principled stand on moral issues. Weakness (to some)- firm, principled stand on moral issues.

Anyone want to review Rusty Humphries? I like him. Unfortunately, he was moved to after Savage on 1370 KJCE...

[The South Texan]

Did you know Sean wrote a book?

[Marathoner]

OK, I would love to hear opinions on Neal Boortz. I've never been able to listen to him except for brief snippets, so I'm wondering if he's worth listening to.

[anniegetyourgun]

That about sums it up from my perspective too, NYC Rep.

[kidd]

I've never heard Crowley.

Other than that, I agree with your list. I would add that Rush adds to his credibility by sourcing all of his points.

[GSWarrior]

For my money, Lee Rodgers is the best out there.
