Hugh Hewitt if he didn't indulge so many idiot callers, Rush but only at election time, Medved is the smartest and most at peace with himself, Savage for the Lenny Bruce humor and rage which is pure fun;
Hewitt is too much of a partisan cheerleader. He is more like a mouthpiece for the RNC. He is more a man of politics than ideas. But alone of the talk show hosts, I have met him, and up close and personal. He is a decent and affable chap, with a good sense of humor, and without airs.
Actually, I dislike most talk radio hosts. With the exception of O'reilley and savage, they all seem to be pretty much ideologues. Like most Americans, my views are developed on an issue-by-issue basis. I'm a libertarian. I dislike republicans and democrats equally. I'm fiscally Conservative and socially liberal. There doesn't seem to be any hosts out there that aren't GOP or DNC ideologues.
