Rush Limbaugh sub Jason Lewis going national

KTLK FM ^ | February 18, 2009 | Jason Lewis

[ejdrapes]

I couldn't find this online anywhere yet, but on the Jason Lewis radio show tonight he announced that as of next week he's going national with Premier Radio Networks. Isn't that the home of Rush, Sean and Glenn Beck? From a fellow Minnesotan I say congrats Jason!

[Sybeck1]

Does this means he won’t sub for Rush anymore? I can’t stand Mark Davis......

[exist]

What is with all the mediocrity coming from MN?

First Tim Pawlenty.
Coleman/Franken.
Now Jason Lewis.

Please stop.

[downwdims]

I like Jason, but Bob Davis pwns him

[DainBramage]

I cant stand Davis either.

[scottteng]

That means we will not be hearing Jason subbing for Rush any more. I vote for more Walter Williams.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Now the Ditto-Heads here won’t have Jason to kick around anymore.....

[omega4179]

Yes to Mark Steyn, and Walter Williams

No to the B team!!!

[Yardstick]

Walter Williams is my fave too. His expertise in economics provides an essential nutrient that Rush can’t quite provide, so it’s good to hear him every so often. Plus he’s got that good natured cockiness that Rush has got. Like Rush, he is a happy warrior.

[wally_bert]

I will never say no to more Walter Williams, the guy is simply brilliant.

“What is with all the mediocrity coming from MN?

You forgot Gov. Jesse “The Body” Ventura!

[wally_bert]

I loved listening to JL when he was in Charlotte and enjoy catching him subbing for Rush.

[ejdrapes]

Yes to Mark Steyn, and Walter Williams No to the B team!!!

Well a member of the so-called "B team" just got a nationally syndicated show, so obviously Premier Networks and Clear Channel don't agree with you. :)

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

I like Jason Lewis and have listened to him for years, even when he was here before he went to Colorado.

Congratulations Jason the Libertarian!

[steelyourfaith]

Congrtas to Jason. I enjoyed listening to him when he subbed for Rush. Sadly, once subs go national they never appear on Rush’s show again.

[mplsconservative]

Congrats to Jason! I’m looking forward to the tax-cut rally on April 15th.

[ejdrapes]

Now the Ditto-Heads here won’t have Jason to kick around anymore.....So once you go national you can't sub for Rush anymore?

Since Jason is going national on Premier Radio Networks perhaps Rush had a hand in getting him this national show? Or just subbing for Rush got him the recognition nationally?

[Political Junkie Too]

Meanwhile, Nova M radio fails, and Randi Rhodes and Mike Malloy are off the air. This is not going to make the Fairness Doctrine people too happy.

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

I’ll be at the rally also. Would be good if we had a FReeper section with FReeper posters in the crowd!!

[mplsconservative]

I missed listening to Jason when he moved to Charlotte. At the time, he was the lone voice of conservatism in Minnesota and I hated it when he left.

Now, hey, we can all hear him everyday. :)

[CharlotteVRWC]

Great! I love Jason Lewis! America’s Mr. Right!

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Rush doesn’t hire the competition. Some of his earlier subs went national and stopped subbing as soon as they did.....

[Cheapskate]

Belling is even worse!

[mplsconservative]

We’ve had a FReeper meetup at O’Gara’s afterwards for the last couple of years. Lots of fun meeting folks in person. I’ll put something up on the FR Minnesota board next month. Hope you can make it!

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

Please do. I haven’t been on the Mn. board, will write it and hopefully you can ping me if possible. Thanks very much!

[ejdrapes]

He's got his own website now, although it doesn't look like it's fully up and running yet.

What amazes me about Jason Lewis is the way he can recall facts and figures at the drop of a hat.

[Matchett-PI]

Fantastic! His knowledge of economics needs wider exposure....now more than ever!

[Born In America]

Mark Davis is the absolute worst. I also am not that fond of Paul W.(emphasis added) Smith. I think Jason did fine as a sub for Rush.

But, I too have Dr. Williams as my personal favorite. Mark Steyn is also very good and I like Mark Belling as well.

Rush's program is a good proving ground for the future of conservative radio....

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

I’ve seen Jason Lewis at the State Fair several times and yes, he has absorbed way more than we’ll ever know.

[NonValueAdded]

The nation needs a good Econ 101 and 102 lesson. Jason is good at that.

[wally_bert]

JL was one of the best things to ever hit Charlotte broadcasting.

[GBA]

Congrats to Jason! He’s my favorite Rush sub. Afternoon radio in the Charlotte area hasn’t been very good since he left WBT 1110 for Minn.

[TAdams8591]

Good! : )

[Kieri]

Does this means he won’t sub for Rush anymore? I can’t stand Mark Davis......

I can't stand him either. He jerked my chain big time when he attacked Sarah Palin.

My preferences for Rush's subs would be Mark Belling, Mark Steyn, and the homegrown Paul W. Smith.

[jimfree]

I like Mark, but Jason is special and this is great news for Minnesota’s Mr. Right. I’ll miss him as a sub but he really deserves this gig.

[Secret Agent Man]

Hopefully his national career isn’t short-lived.

[WorkingClassFilth]

The MN GOP hates Jason Lewis because he won’t tow the party line or stay on the reservation. Many, many times he has take the GOP to task and kicked their weakling RINO @sses. They dislike having their feet held to the fire . . .

[kanawa]

Good news, he’s my favorite Rush sub.

[Eric Roelfsema]

What has happened to the Associate Professior of EIB Roger Hedgecock? I love hearing Roger as well as Walter Williams and Mark Steyn.

[WorkingClassFilth]

Don’t know.

[Last Dakotan]

Belling is even worse!

The Belling you hear subbing for Rush is a weak neutered version of his real show.

[csmusaret]

You said that right. I thought Katz was a putz and Tara means well but she is a print journalist. Radio is not for her.

I don't hate him because of that. I just hate him because he's so boring. Whenever he subs for Rush I am forced to listen to Glenn Beck. Other than that I have no problem with him.

I didn't correlate the link as being the station he normally broadcasts on... Thanks!

[JennysCool]

Roger has a national show now, too.
