Alan Colmbs and Michael Smerkonish beat Dennis Prager?

Dennis Prager's toenail clippings have more wisdom than the both of them-Times two.

That’s gonna drive Levin nuts (not really.) Savage can be such a macaroon.

The only 3 talkers I’ll seriously give my ear to are: Levin, Limbaugh, and Bachelor. But not every personality hits my area, so I’m sure the others are good too.

Howie Carr is all the way down at number 57. He should be a little further up the list. Why is Ed Schultz even on this list?

I like Bill Handel. Unfortunately the turkeys in this market haven’t seen fit to keep him. I’m talking about Handel on the Law, not his other show, which I haven’t heard.

He always lands in the top 5 no matter how big a heckbird he becomes. I frankly dont get it.

Noory, who never was the host Art Bell was, has been phoning it in lately and doesn’t deserve to be any higher than 16.

Lapin, another heckbird. Glad he got out of the Seattle market and to SF.

Good if you like being talked down to by a hypocrite.

It sounds like his show may have gone up in quality since I heard him. I was never satisfied with his explanation of his connection to Jack Abramoff, though. Medved was involved in it too. Remember that the next time Medved is preaching at you about one of his pet subjects or dumping on Ted Cruz.

Haven’t heard Smerconish and haven’t heard Colmes since Hannity and Colmes, but Prager should be 1 or 2. Classiest guy in talk radio, whip smart. One if my few regrets about moving to Everett, the Salem stations signal is too weak to get past Lynnwood decently.

I’ve read the list now. Who’s Bubba the Love Sponge?

How Dr. Laura has fallen! Used to be in the top 5.

Many injustices—Prager, Hewitt and Clark Howard should have been higher. Dog-in-fight man, Lars Larson doesn’t deserve to be #23, or whatever he was. Is Phil Valentine the same hack I used to listen to in the 90s? Billy the hack Cunningham doesn’t deserve to be on the list. I thought Ric Edelman was an infomercial guy. From my days listening to Air America I seem to remember liking Laura Flanders, I think that was her name. The Kennedy on Air America wasn’t bad.

I would like to put in a plug for John Carlson who does local morning drive on KVI. He makes local issues interesting, gets lots of good guests and is a tireless fighter on crime issues.

I think I’ll tune into Savage tonight to see if he spends 2 hours talking about this list and ripping Hannity and other real or imagined enemies. Bet he does.
The third hour will probably be fake as usual
