Good analysis. I like listening to Laura lately. I like the way she trashes leftists and Hollywood the way they used to enjoy glibly trashing conservatives and the right with impunity and knowing that any conservative response would be rare if not impossible at all.

BTW, do you recall a talk-radio personality named Jay Diamond? He was on in the NYC area from the late '80s to the mid-'90s. He was great while on WABC when he was a conservative. He was a superb debater and had a wide and diverse vocabulary which he would use quite creatively to defeat his liberal detractors. He always spoke of a great respect for Bob Grant and considered him to be his main influence. He left the airwaves for a while and later on showed up on WOR radio for a while as a "liberal"(!) It sickend me to here him espouse views that were an anathema to him while he was a "conservative" at WABC. It still mystifies me to no end how someone as sharp and logical as Jay would suddenly begin supporting the left.

I started listening to talk radio about 5 years ago... I used to listen to classic and modern rock before I woke up and smelled the coffee. No turning back now.

At one point I thought he had a nervous break-down, practically on the air....was full of anxiety and paranoia.

He also did impressions. He once did a full segment of the Bob Grant show in Bob's voice and I for one had no idea it was him--though I detected something slightly different about the voice.

I remember him becoming a socialist hard-leftist and thought that perhaps he had been so all along but hid it to try to ride Bob Grant's coattails.
