I agree with you, OldFriend. I don't get the valuation around here on celebrity, and as far as Levin goes he seems a little thin-skinned (as do the others in his clique), and I found myself wincing as he congratulated someone for using the old "put down the bong" insult. How unoriginal.
Even his book signings required the presence of Hannity.
I believe it was Hannity who got him the radio show on WABC.
