"I have been criticized quite vociferously by many good folks who read this column and who listen to my weekly Sunday noontime broadcast on WABC, New York. I have been hammered because you say I am too pessimistic. Alright, fair enough. I guess I do come across as a pessimistic person. That is because I dont see anything to be optimistic about concerning the presidential election. I know guys like Rush have made a huge fortune telling the public things they cant possibly believe inside. Rush is a brilliant man who is a great showman. He has always been respectful to me and never failed to defend me back in the good old days before a cabal of liberals persuaded the Walt Disney Co. to fire me when they bought ABC. I never recovered professionally from that, but that is history and I dont see any need to go over that terrain again.
So, let us focus on the present and the future. First of all, at the present time I see my Republican Party coming apart at the seams because they don't have any truly gifted candidates running to oppose Barack the Boastful. It is a shame that we cant get one truly charismatic person to run."

“I dont believe that.”
I sincerely hope you are right.
I love Bob Grant just to hear what he’ll say to his hecklers. He doesn’t always get the upper hand but he does get the last word. “Get off my phone!”
I was a faithful Bob Grant follower for years, but his pessimism was really a turn off. His give-up attitude is not unexpected.
"I know guys like Rush have made a huge fortune telling the public things they cant possibly believe inside."
Ha!!! What a dumbass....Apparently he's never really taken the time to understand...that Rush, just openly say's what WE have always known to be the truth!!!
Wanna bet some money?
“Wanna bet some money?”
No. Because I’d be hoping that you win.
Bob Grant is absolutely the king of talk radio..He’s old now but back in the day nobody could stand up to him.He’s sorta like Rush except Rush is polite.And he’ll never take to Santorum since Bob is a ferocious pro-abort
Listen how Bob doesn’t defend Rush on the slut comments after Rush defended Bob.

Bob Grant is a has been that never was.
All tine radio great and if you aren't from NY metro area, you never heard him, this all time radio great.
He is an old fart that does a couple of fill in week end hours on a big NYC station.
Even his 10 fans don't care what he says and we know he is way past thinking.
Larry King was an all time radio great {a lefty but one of the first in nationwide syndication}.
Edward R. Murrow was an all time radio great and you won't have to explain who those people were.
You compare Bob Grant to Rush Limbaugh, and then need to explain why no one has ever heard of him.
Ironic.
Wishy washy is pretty common these days.....
Been there done that..........
Never listened to Bob...Ain’t going to start now. HA!!!
Bob was the King of the NYC radio waves, providing a conservative voice in liberal NY for 30+ years. Bob is a talk radio pioneer who's career predated the current radio network syndication scheme.
I can remember riding in the car with my Father in 1969 or 1970, when Bob was new to NY, and asking him to change the station I wanted hear some music, not that guy yelling at people to get off his phone.
I became a fan like my Dad and years later told my Son the same as I was told. When you have your own car you can decide what station to listen to.
But he’s not a conservative voice anymore.
