More importantly, where is Mark Levin?!
Where's Franken?....Who's Franken?
I wouldn't even recognize Al Franken if he hadn't written a book that got his face plastered all over television for weeks on end doing fawning interviews on every network.
In fact, the media were obsessed with his bold assertion that conservatives were nothing but a bunch of liars. He almost came off sounding noble... That is, if you believe everything you hear in the MSM.
I agree, too bad Rush is on in the afternoon during work hours where I live instead of during the drive home.
The White House should take note of these numbers, and the messages conveyed to the audiences.
Rush Limbaugh is a living legend.
"I demand a recount".
Where's O'Reilly? He's as big a jerk on radio as on TV.
Hannity really screwed up on the FL Emanate Domain story. He missed a lot of the facts.
Of course Rush is king of political talk - print and media. His shadow hangs over all of the talking heads.
Memo to Rush: Do more parodies!
O`Reilly's got to be annoyed.
He's not even mentioned.
Hannity and Savage are virtually unlistenable (combination of boring RNC fax-of-the-day, general ignorance, dead-obvious commentary, lame repetitive topics and lack of debating skills), so everyone below them has to be really bad - do they even speak English?
Where is Franken?
If there is a gloryhole around he has his eye up against it.
Hannity Number 2? Hmmm.
I would have exprected Laura Ingraham and Bill Bennett to come in far ahead of Hannity.
Franken?? He's like 10^²³ on the list
Frankenidiot is -127!!!
Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
That's interesting and honest.
On the other hand, the Grammy Award nominess for 2006 ("Spoken Word Category") are Franken, Garrison Keilor (!!), and (get ready for this one) Barack Obama (!!!). Obama has been nominated for the audiobook of his autobiography.
Laura Ingraham at Number Five! Alright!
"Michael Savage is third with more than 8 million listeners a week."
Yoo Hooooooo!!!! Go Michael!
gotta love it any time libs get their butts kicked...
1. Rush Limbaugh
2. Sean Hannity
3. Michael Savage
4. Howard Stern (tie) Dr. Laura Schlessinger
5. Laura Ingraham
(No significant detectable ratings) Al Franken
I really enjoy Tony Snow. Wonder why he wasn't higher?
Sorry to see Hugh Hewitt isn't on the list...another reasonable, educated and bright guy - out of the Reagan administration. Excellent interviews.
Laura Ingraham should be no. 2.
In my opinion, these ratings are quite accurate. However, I would have expected a greater difference between the numbers for El Rushbo and Sean Hannity. Rush is a legend; he is far more intelligent than Hannity and is more comfortable with the mike.
I listen to Hannity every once in a while but I still think El Rushbo is far better.
Numbers for Michael Savage and Michael Medved are interesting. So much for Medved advertising his show as the nation's premier radio show for "pop culture and politics." Boortz is also great.....I used to listen to him when I was in the Atlanta area. I think he understands militant Islam much better than anybody else (except Rush).
I have been disappointed several times lately, most recently Friday, when Rush has made "my dear friend"-type comments regarding Chris Matthews...no way, no how can I--nor should Rush, IMHO, give Chris Matthews any kind of positive aura.
Like I said, Rush has done this twice lately. To me it is starting to sound like someone whose personal acquaintanceship is getting a little too tight with the other side (and Matthews, no less!) No one I have seen here at FR has anything but contempt for CM.
Yay for Rush and Savage!
A.A.C.
I've been listening to Rush (when my job permits) since he went national. I get in a real funk when he has a replacement host. I love Rush's humor. I will never forget the time Rush was talking about Jocelyn Elders wanting to teach kindergartners how to masturbate and then he went on to a story about PETA being mad at the Indians in New Mexico who, for sport, bury chickens up to their necks in the dirt and then ride by on a horse and try to yank the chicken out. Rush ended the segment with his observation about how professionally he was able to transition from masturbation to "chokin' chickens." A classic Limbaugh radio moment that I'll never forget. LOL!!!
Ping....thought you might be interested in this article/thread.
I recommend Michael Medved and Dennis Praeger! I have been listening to them both a lot lately, their shows are very high quality.
Less often I listen to Lauran Ingraham and Hugh Hewitt, their shows are okay but not as good as the first two.
I've become a Limbaugh subscriber. I can't listen during the 9am-noon time he is on, so it was worth the $49 to be able to listen when I want.
More to the point, where are those wishy-washy delusional PC morons Medved and Hewitt?
Staddle the middle of the PC road and get run over.
Those two idiots are irritating beyond belief; even more so that Franken.
Have never heard the Michael Savage show, will have to remember to try to listen via the web sometime.
I think Laura Ingraham is the most entertaining of the bunch. I can't listen to Hannity any more...his voice grates on me. Savage is just plain whacko.
Hugh Hewitt
Bill Bennett
Dennis Prager
ALL belong above Sean and Mike!
They are each brighter and more thoughtful than Sean or Mike.
Hmmm...I understand Rush, Vanity, and Savage, but some on this list just baffle me...Taken with a grain of salt.
At the rear, as an ass wipe is destined.
Semper Fi
Al Franken is an embarrassment, but he doesn't even know it.
He's the radio equivalent of Dan Rather with his fly open.
Sean Hannity's popularity has always been a complete mystery to me. He seems like a nice enough guy, but he's little more than a Republican party cheerleader. He's an abysmal debater, extremely egotistical, and not particularly funny. If the news was male modeling, he's be Derek Zoolander.
Once again, Airhead America is passed over. Poor Al.
Franken???? Who's Franken??? LMAO! Whoever he is, lol, I'm sure he's in the fetal position crying his eyes out wondering where he went wrong!
And the ratings say.... Rush is #1
Al Franken did not make the list.
As a host, he should cease and desist.
There's a miniscule chance
His spot will advance
Since his show's such a snap to resist.
