About time. I realized... not sure how long ago... that most of the talkers were out of gas. Hannity is out of gas. Levin is pretty much out of gas. Limbaugh is not quite out of gas... By out of gas I mean, Hannity can filibuster, Levin can rant, but I don't hear anything I haven't heard them say a million times, so it all sounds like Blah, blah, blah. Limbaugh is still relevant because a) the junta singled him hout, b) he still thinks outside the box, and c) he IS after all the father of right-wing political talk radio.
Projecting? Limbaugh’s audience is bigger than ever. It is 5 times the size of Beck’s. Levin is the top rated talker in his time slot in cities like New York, where Beck loses to Scarborough, LA (no Beck?), Chicago (no Beck?), Detroit (no Beck?), San Fran (no Beck?), etc. Must be everyone is out to stop Beck, no? Otherwise, all these big markets would surely be carrying him. He is so damn good.
Tell me, what role did Beck play in helping to win Virginia and New Jersey this last election, besides having Christie on the last few days? And why did he wait so long, well after Rush, Sean, and Levin, to back Hoffman in the 23rd? He also announced on his tv show yesterday that we cannot defeat national health care. Is that how you emboldened people to fight Washington? By telling them that the end is inevitable unless, of course, you attend only those events (profit-making in some cases) that Beck endorses? And what of this third party stuff? Is that the way to victory? Or should we take back the GOP as Reagan urged and did?
Thats why Rush is still the best. Hannity repeat too much while Rush invent new lexicon and have his own unique take on any issue of the day

Agreed, as far as most of the big-time rightwing talkers are concerned. I like what they say, but it gets very stale after a while.
On the other hand, I listen more and more to Dennis Prager since he DOES have the ability to analyze things in a new light. I’ve learned a lot from him lately.
