I saw him as a fake conservative for a very long time. Good riddance, and keep your pants zipped up.
He went out of his way from time-to-time to say he wasn't conservative. I never considered him as a conservative.
That being said, his time was over. He had a great run. All good things come to an end eventually. The world will survive and move on.
I watched him in the beginning because it was something new. But stopped watching completely a year or so ago. He and the "No Spin Zone" had lost their luster. It happens over time to them all.
