I'll explain it to all of you in simple terms, folks: radio talk-show hosts and other media personalities are actors. They are faking it. It's all schtick. They are not people "just like you and me" -- conservative working people who live in the world of paychecks and payments. They are entertainers -- people who make a lot of money for delivering audiences to sponsors. They are neither politicians nor true believers, and the only reason they seem to be "conservative" on the air is that most of the people who have the free time needed to listen to talk radio are middle-aged or older white men who tend to be cranks -- oops, I mean strongly opinionated in the rightward direction.
(Don't believe me? Check out the stuff advertised on talk radio: stay-hard cream, hair-loss tonic, weight-loss pills, dating-for-divorcees companies, and BUY GOLD GOLD GOLD FOR THE COMING WORLD COLLAPSE NOW! If pot-smoking black teenagers were the biggest talk radio audience out there you can bet your bottom dollar that you'd be listening to the liberal Pimp-Daddy Limbaugh show and the hash-huffing Street Dawgg Hannity program. Advertisers buy time on shows to which their potential customers listen.)
To reiterate: talk radio is all showbiz, folks, no more real than pro wrestling, so please stop being surprised each time one of your talk-show heroes is unmasked as a druggie or a Beltway suckup or Just Another Media Whore. Anyone who ever believed that Rush or Hannity (or Savage, or Hewitt, or you-name-it) is "in touch with the mainstream" of American life is fooling themselves. These are people who go to the Super Bowl every year, belong to Burning Tree, own yachts, know Senators, and never drive any car over a year old. They are not bad people, but they are people playing a role for money, and the sooner you talk radio fans realize that you don't get paid the big bucks for being yourself or telling the truth on radio and/or TV - you get paid for being able to post big ratings numbers so your network can charge maximum price to the makers of new StayHardPlus with Ejacu-Gard and Slim 'n' Fuzzy Weight-Loss/Hair Growth Tonic, the sooner the day will come when the tears stop flowing.
It was only recently we had a way to "humble" them....can you say "Rather" - I knew that you could.

Sorry, but I just have to laugh. Oh, the big, salty tears that stream down Freeper faces every time a Rush Limbaugh or a Sean Hannity or some other hairsprayed, chuckleheaded media idol gets busted for buying dope from his housekeeper or admits his disatste for you and your kind, or is otherwise revealed to have feet of clay! Boo hoo hoo! Say it ain't so, Joe!
