By quick witted I mean his response to callers, mostly, and not wisecracks to recorded audio clips. And Rush is a fairly funny guy, I think.
Truth is I haven't heard much more than 10 hours of his show in the last 6 or 7 years. I find him to be too much of a GOP cheerleader for my taste.
I have seen maybe 3 or 4 hours of Mahr and he doesn't strike me as terribly witty. He has his 'lines' and lobs bombs but it's nothing notable. I think he and Rush would be fairly evenly matched (and no, thats not complimenting either of them).
Agreed. There was a time when he was openly ripping on Bush for his domestic policies: Campaign Finance Reform, spending...
Then the 'Bushbots' started threatening him. Ever since then, you're right, he's been serving and drinking the kool-aid.
