I think Oreily did a ratings analyis and figured if he could fake being Rush lite he would be able to be bigger than Rush. He is not honest, he just dives to the percieved middle, which the MSM has established as left. (homosexual adoption, civil unions, opposing FMA)
I agree but at least he's not afraid to show or tell his leanings to the left so he may not work well in the MSM(LOL). I also agree that he doesn't hold a candle to Rush - Rush is genuinely trying to do the greater good and "look out for us"
