You, my friend, have not heard enough Talk Radio. While I do wish that Belling would just get over is perpetual cold, already, nobody could hold a candle to the now deceased lefty Lynn Samuels, whom Bob Grant dubbed "The Fish Wife". Everything you hate about New York (Noo Yawk) is captured in her voice. On Rush's flagship (WABC-770 AM NYC), he used to LEAD INTO Samuels (Rush had 10AM - Noon) while Samuels took the Noon-2 segment. She was fired several times, most famously when she lost it when paired with the completely unstoppable and controlled Barry Farber. To her credit, she seemed to be an honest liberal, calling out her own at times. She also was sympathetic to folks as diverse as Ollie North, Rush Limbaugh and Joan Andrews, who got more attention from her than from the regular conservative talkers.

Anyway, you need a sample:

Scroll down to "Lynn Gets Arrested-Lynn the Felon".

I was arrested with Joan Andrews!

What Joan Andrews was doing was historic. It was the right way to confront the evil of abortion. The country chose to die rather than join her. By that I mean that the Catholic bishops and the “pro-lifers” in Congress joined forces to crush the Rescue Movement. They brought us what we have now: A pro-abortion regime that will bring us collapse, poverty, chaos.

If Joy Behar is still on the radio, she's at least as obnoxious as Lynn Samuels was.

There's the classic putdown about "having a face for radio." Dagen, the woman on Imus, is attractive enough, but has a voice for silent film.
