I always hoped that Thompson would run for president, but he's too old now.

Paul Harvey needs a permanent substitute, I'm afraid. His broadcasts are often entertaining, but lately they're marred by his spouting off half truths and untruths about various things in the news.

Harvey has gone round the bend with his Bush bashing.

It will be hard to replace the folksy voice of Paul Harvey but Thompson comes close.

And that's the rest ... of the story.

If Thompson wants to copy Democrat paul harvey aurandt, he needs to steal an Air Force plane, and get a bad conduct with Section 8 discharge, and then pad his resume with "I was a Hero/WWll pilot" subplot.

Paul Harvey is one of those people who've I've heard on the radio since long ago in childhood. It's amazing he's been a fixture for so long.

Paul Harvey, Karl Haas... who else has been on the radio for forever?

Good, no more melodrama and overacting from Paul Harvey Jr. filling in for daddy.

I just love listening to Fred Thompson talk. I bet he'd be good on the radio.

Interesting. Fred Thompson has excellent diction and a very pleasant voice. He should be a good radio broadcaster.

If you check the news cycle with any regularity, then you certainly will not hear anything new on a Paul Harvey newscast. They say, "it's all in the delivery", and that about sums up the attraction. I like him personally, but I quit listening years ago.

Fred Thompson Signs On As Paul Harvey Substitute

ABC may hire that simple dullard as a (poor) substitute; Mr. Harvey can never be replaced.
