Like I said, he's more of a moderate than anything else. His praise for Reagan, and on-air bodyslamming of Couric tells me he's not a token Liberal. Most in the media were giddy when Reagan died.
Like I said, I have listened to the man speak at length on his overnight talk show years ago...I recognize an entertainment industry Liberal when I see one. If he's intelligent enough to praise Bush and Reagan, more power to him...it still doesn't make him a moderate.
