I seldom watch CSpan2's booktv.org programming anymore because they showcase so many liberal authors. But, fortunately last night I turned to that channel in time to see most of the
Andrew Roberts segment. (I searched the site but couldn't find online video for that segment; I'm hoping I can catch it again in re-rerun.) ... Roberts did a masterful job of handling the calls from liberals and conspiracy kooks. I especially like how he told one caller how mistaken he was about what constitutes a "fascist."
The
reviews for Roberts' book on Amazon are telling as well. Most are articulate along with the typical 1-star rants thrown into the mix. (You can probably guess which ones got my "helpful" vote and which ones got the other kind.) ;)
I wonder if Rush would consider having a Brit as a substitute host? Roberts would do an excellent job!
I think Rush's subs are all under contract.
The one they use the most is Roger Hedgecock (here in San Diego) who works for another Clear Channel station (KOGO-600). They tried to get Roger to go national for years, but he refused to leave San Diego. Now, he has received a huge contract with Clear Channel .. and subs for Rush - which gives him national exposure. It was a smart move on Roger's part.
I believe the other subs are also a part of Clear Channel. I never listen to them .. I'd rather go home and listen to re-runs of Rush on my computer. I bought an MP3 but I haven't set it up to download Rush's programs yet.
If you do find out Roberts is on CSPAN - please ping me - but realize I'm gone during the day - working.
