Without a doubt it's Rush! I also like Hedgecock. Hannity is OK, but lacks Rush's ability to get the facts straight.
Prager, Savage, Hewitt
Rush
Despite his occassional giddiness and elitist law-professor airs,
Hugh Hewitt has my vote (www.hughhewitt.com).
He's the only one to find a teacher (David Alan White of The Naval Academy) that
has gotten me interested in Shakespeare.
VERY close runnerups are
Dennis Prager and Michael Medved of The Salem Radio Network (www.krla870.com),
Al Rantel of KABC (www.kabc.com),
and John Ziegler and Capt. Dale Dye (www.kfi870.com)
Rush, I wouldn't be a Republican today if it weren't for him.
Rush Limbaugh.
I like several for different reasons:
Bob Grant - his voice sounds just like my late Italian-American grandfather and he's somewhat pessimistic like my late Italian-American grandfather. He has the best callers. I look forward to Jimmy from Brooklyn, Greg from Chatham and especially John from Staten Island.
Mark Levin - I love his crankiness. Great distinctive ornery voice.
Steve Malzberg - Very underrated. His show is on in the middle of the night, so it's hard to stay up for it. But he does have a Sunday show which is great.
Sean Hannity - I love Sean. He's a all-around great guy. He needs a solo TV show.
Rush is still a fave
Savage - Truly the only one who can savage idiot leftist callers.
Monica Crowley - this lady is very impressive
Laura Ingraham - I like her show but the signal for the station starts fading out in the evening when it is on.
I wish I could hear Michael Reagan, Dennis Prager and Michael Medved.
Glenn Beck - Hands Down
Rush. His political insight is tops.
I am just grateful we have a choice. Twenty years ago, the only conservative source was The Wall Street Journal. Here in Silicon Valley, we have a choice of two conservative radio stations, KSFO and KNEW. Who whadda thunk?
But onto a bigger choice, The real question is: Who is your favorite conservative football anouncer? Keith Jackson, Al Michaels, or John Madden?
The one and only...Rush Limbaugh.
Hannity is a distant second, then Savage.
G. Gordon Liddy, smarter and funnier than the rest. And he has lived it.
RUSH. First. Last. Always.
Glenn Beck
Yeah, Glenn Beck sounds like bad comedy shtick on tryout night.
"I was just wondering what everyone's favorite talk radio show is."
Hands down, Michael Savage. He's the only one out there telling the truth.
The WORST conservative radio talk show host is definitely Todd Schnitt. If Glenn Beck sounds like stale comedy shtick, then Schnitt sounds like a sports talk retread strangely grafted onto a current affairs radio program. Plus Schnitt does a 4 hour morning show AND a 3 hour afternoon show so that by the end of the day he sounds completely burned out.
The best LOCAL conservative radio talk show host is definitely STEVE KANE along with his sidekick Boy Wonder, Brian Craig. They really mix it up with their liberal callers. You have to hear them to appreciate them.
Laura Ingram
