Here are some other things you might want to know about Medved:
1)He does believe that Big Foot exists. No Joke.
2)He is a huge fan of President Bush and many on this site might consider him something of a shill. Personally, I don't mind it becuase I agree with him. Many on this site might consider me a shill also.
3)He is a moderate on the question of Illegal Aliens and supported the President's plan.
4)He is the most voracious opponent of changing the definition of marriage on the radio today.
5)He used to be a pretty big liberal and worked on the RFK campaign in 1968 and then the McGovern campaign in 1972. He first voted Republican for Reagan in 1980.
6)He attended Yale undergraduate and Yale law school (but didn't get his law degree). Among the future politicians he met in that capacity include: Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, George W. Bush, John Kerry, Howard Dean, Joe Lieberman. Pretty intersting list, eh?
7)Another classmate he befriended who remains his buddy to this day is Clinton impeachment lawyer Lannie Davis.
As you can tell, I love listening to him and since I missed his show today, I have him in my ear right now as I write this.
As to my second favorite talk show host, here is the link to KABC in Los Angeles, Elder's flagship station. Unlike my buddy Michael, Larry's broadcast can't be heard every day but, yes, he is abso-freaking-loutely worth listening to every day. Some interesting things about Larry Elder:
1)He just recently became a Republican and voted Libertarian in 2000.
2)He is a classic Libertarian who believes in legalizing drugs, privatizing almost everything, little or no taxes
3) He is not opposed to giving marriage rights to gays and in fact, if he had his way, government would be out of marriage altogether.
4) Elder is pro-choice but is anti-Roe v Wade and wants the decision given to the states.
5)Elder has become staunchly pro-Bush since 9/11 because the one thing that he differs with the Libertarian Party is on the question of national defense.
6) The best show for this man is Friday's in the last hour (BTW, he is on from 3PM-6PM Pacific Time) when he discusses the issues of the day with his feisty, octogenarian Mother.
Anyway, I hope this helps.
My favorite radio host is Howie Carr. He's Boston's most popular conservative radio host, and also writes a column for The Boston Herald. He's bright and hilarious. He was on The O'Reilly Factor last night. He's been dogging Kerry for decades as well as Ted Kennedy. I listen to his show every day. He reads my e:mails a lot. He seems similar to Medved in that he's intelligent and quick on his feet.
WABC-NY gave him some time for a while, but I never heard that part of his show on. Sounds really nifty.
