[paltz]

There is a stern/limbaugh listener crossover...probably due to stern's libertarian side. NYC is Stern's hometown anyway.

[Allan]

Hannity hollers too much, gives me a headache.
Goes on and on about the same things over and over again in his monologues.
Unless he has interesting guests, (and he does sometimes), I usually tune out.

[Go Gordon]

I still think Laura Ingeraham has the skills to be #2 behind Rush.

Rush will never be topped, but the best one of the entire group is Glenn Beck - by a landslide.

[StoneColdGOP]

Bump for KFI's John and Ken.

[Marie]

"Quinn in the Morning" has just been syndicated as of this week. Listen in the archives at http://www.warroom.com.

[Marie]

You beat me too it!

[Marie]

too many o's in my to. My fingers stuttttered.

[Sloth]

If he thought going far left would get him a rating point he would be pushing Affirmative Action on tonight's show. He has absolutely no core values.

Correct. He picks his positions purely on what he thinks will be popular with his audience. No ideological underpinnings whatsoever. I hate hearing him promote even a position I agree with, because it's invariably for the wrong reason.

He's pretty ignorant, too.

[Allan]

John and Ken Show has 1,118,000 listeners in the LA area alone.
It has the largest number of listeners in any urban area.
(It now has surpassed WABC, New York)
They have the strongest and most informed program about illegal aliens.
In many ways, the best 'talk show' of all.

[nunya bidness]

You can add up all the hosts listed here and they wouldn't amount to a pimple on Phil Hendrie's butt.

[doug from upland]

Phil read my letter on the air two nights ago and seemed to enjoy it.
======================

My business in security. We protect the glazing in buildings around the world from terrorist bomb blasts. A suicide bomber will have about 30-35 pounds of explosives packed in around his crotch. It will be made of diesel fuel, fertilizer, and various types of shrapnel for maximum damage. He will be wearing an inordinate amount of perfume to disguise the smell. Here is a tip for you. If you are in a crowded area that might be a target and see a guy with a towel on his head who smells good --- RUN LIKE HELL!

[lainde]

bttt

[StoneColdGOP]

Eeww... Thanks for the visual.

[StoneColdGOP]

Without John and Ken, the Gumby recall and the SB 60 referendum would have been far less successful.

They've taken radio to an activist level like NO ONE else. Now they've taken on Bush's amnesty plan and call him to the mat on extradition.

Go John and Ken!

(Forgot to get in on the Ghoul Pool...damn!)

[YoungKentuckyConservative]

GO SAVAGE!!!!!!!!!!!
