Boortz isn't really a conservative, he's a curmudgeonly small-L libertarian (and proud of it). He comes at things from a different angle than most of the other hosts. He is pro-choice (and will not allow the discussion of abortion rights on his show, period), and I'm not sure but I think he may be atheist or agnostic, as he's made comments slamming the "religious Right" before. He also has zero use for Southern heritage supporters in his hometown of Atlanta, calling them "flaggots." (He went to school at Texas A&M and has lived in Atlanta forever, and has no trace of a Southern accent. None. I'm not sure how he's pulled that off.)

He reminds me of that crotchety fifty- or sixty-year-old guy that holds court in a corner of the coffee shop, reading the paper and bitching about everything that's wrong with the world, how stupid people are, etc. If you come at the show from that angle, it's pretty entertaining. Personally I can't take him in large doses, especially when he starts cracking on "flaggots" and pro-lifers (I fall into both categories).

I'm usually listening to Tony Bruno followed by Jim Rome on the local Fox Sports Radio affiliate anyway. :)
