I wouldn't have figured you for a Bob Grant fan. I am a fan myself. But you don't like Michael Savage? I find him 100 times more interesting than Hannity or Levin. And forget O'Reilly. I don't even try to listen to him. I would tune into Hannity to hear Newt Gingrich comment on the scene. His callers are so bland. Bob Grant gets the most real, plain, sometimes hilariously weird callers. That's a big part of the show, as you probably know. Savage could do a show with no callers. Sometimes his topics don't interest me, but he is usually interesting, engaging, different. He's funny. His flights of fancy are very funny to me. His wordplay. He's a beat conservative.
Exactly!!
I say this with sadness having listened to Bob Grant just today. He is old now and usually a shadow of what he once was. If you heard him 30 years ago, even 10,he was a true lion. And in the old days he was vicious, he often would turn on the caller you least expected. But the entertainment value was enormous. Why people called him for the abuse they received is beyond me, but he reduced many a person to tears on the air. I hope you don't think I'm criticising Bob, I am reminiscing.
Grant is now a pathetic shadow of his former self and has lost just about ALL of his old,faithful listeners.I can't listen to him anymore and haven't since a little while after he left WABC.He was browbeaten and torn down,which turned him into what he is today,which isn't much.
O'Reilly is dreadful and I NEVER listen to him on the radio and only watch him sometimes,as I did tonight,when a fellow FREEPER is on and when he was tearing into Ward Churchill.
Savage is a fraud,a sicko,and a blowhard. He only seems to attack people who enjoy listening to a wild man off his meds,or acting like a wild man as shtick.That says all one needs to know about you.
Savage isn't a Conservative at all.He's a sideshow GEEK,who verbally bits the heads off chickens.
