Tom Sullivan is incredibly boring.
Hedgecock does a good job but lacks the charisma of Rush. He is probably better informed and can argue the issues better than Rush, but lacks Rush's sense of humor.
Walter Williams is _the best_ guest host for Rush.
The worse host had to have been Tony Snow.
The worse one-time host was resident asshole and pompous LA lawyer Bill Handel. Too bad Laura Ingraham will never come close to his show in LA.
No! Rush had Chris Matthews on as guest host once. [*LOL*]
Sorry, I just noticed Post #78.
100% agreement. I enjoy him nearly as much as I enjoy Rush, though I'm sure I wouldn't enjoy listening to him day in and day out as I do Rush. The thing about the other fill-in hosts is that they're just lesser versions of Rush. But Walter Williams is his own thing. He has a technical expertise that Rush doesn't have, so he kind of fills a void. He's like an essential nutrient that you need every so often that Rush doesn't supply.
After that, I'd say Roger Hedgecock is the best, but he's a step down, and it's a pretty steep rolloff from there.
Bottom line is that Rush is irreplaceable. I don't what we're going to do when he's gone.
