Rush spent years as a DJ and talk show host in Pittsburgh, Kansas City and Sacramento before hitting the big time. Sean Hannity got his start in Huntsville, AL, making $250 a week. Michael Savage began on a back water station in the Bay Area. Neal Boortz worked at almost every station in Atlanta before he signed on with WSB and got a syndication deal; he made so little money from radio that he always had a second job before joining WSB-AM. And the list goes on of "successful" conservative hosts who've learned their craft before become "overnight" successes.

You got that right. The difference between sucessful talk radio hosts is that they have worked very hard for it whereas liberals seem to like things handed right to them. I just love how the party of "the working man" and "the little people" always seem to operate from the top down.

Secondly, the democrats still don't get it. I believe this is just another knee jerk reaction to Bush and the GOP victory last November. They refuse to believe that it was their "weak on national defense/visit Baghdad/anti-American/hold up Homeland Defense" views that the Murrican Pipple did'nt like, but rather that the wholly owned liberal media that controls 90% of the industry could not get their message out. In fact, exit polls show that their message DID get out, but was soundly rejected.

Franken is going to have a tough time doing this, but I think it will last longer than his last sitcom, Lateline, which lasted a whole 6 weeks.
