I wondered about that, as I had not heard his show in a couple of weeks, and WABC was playing TLIS instead.
"And right out of the gate, we have an earthquake"
Uh..I haven't felt it yet. When Hannity understands that "great Americans" are fighting and dying for their country and not manning microphones, his ratings will go up. That's why I prefer the psychotic meanderings of Savage. He tries to minimize gratuitous flattery from his callers, but not Hannity, nor Rush. They're addicted to it.
Hannity has his groupies on FR but I'm not among them.
If you listen to Rush you don't need a re-run on Hannity.
I think his show is really good....why don't you like him?
Although I do find him a bit of a lightweight, Hannity has been doing us all a valuable service the last two or three months by constantly beating 'House Speaker Pelosi' into everybody's head and reminding reluctant conservative voters that the RATS are far worse than the GOP.
I don't think he'll ever be able to fill Rush's shoes when the Maja hangs it up, but for now, he's doing good yeomen's work. Not that I think Rush is going anywhere before the 2008 election because Her Heinousness is too much for him to pass up, but I do think after his current contract is up, he's going to call it quits. God knows, he doesn't need the money anymore, and before "The Path to 9-11" Stalinism from the RATS got him fired up, he did sound kind of bored. My guess is he'll blaze away until the midterms, then sort of meander till the primaries in '08.
I'd love to get Laura Ingraham locally, because I leave for work before her show even gets going, but I think she could fill his shoes. Or if they really want to get people listening again, hire Mark Steyn as his permanent guest host and give him more time to get used to the format, because he was absolutely brilliant filling in a couple of weeks ago.
Dylsexics fo hte wrodl, untie!
Noooo....leave laura on from 9-noon!!!! She's the perfect lead in for Rush...personally I couldn't care less where sean goes. I try to listen to local shows after rush and before Levin.
you've heard about the dyslexic agnostic insomniac right-- he stays up half the night worrying about whether there is a dog?
It is curious that this is an issue coming to light just as the news of Err America's continuing and deepening fiscal issues is also surfacing.
I like Sean, but he does tend to be too reptative....however he is good during elections cycles in comparing and contrasting conservative vs. liberal positions on important issues. He does need to freshen his show up a little or something to make it more interesting during non-election time frames. He was at his best when he started out with his show....he needs to recapture that energy.
Loved Batchelors show...actually liked it when he still teamed up with Alexander. Only drawback was it aired in my market very late in the evening...always ended up missing the last hour.
Sean....is that you???? I thought you DON"T come to FR anymore....come on you've got your own forum...it's WAAAAAY better the FR....lol.
Neal Boortz is already on Fox News radio in the morning...he could be lead-off batter in that awesome lineup!
Nope, I'm not Sean. Just a listener to his show since way back in his WGST 640am Atlanta days, 11 years this month.
I thought he sold his soul to Santa.
The title of that book wasn't an autobiography per chance?
There are so many many excellent talk show hosts on the libertarian / conservative side.
Here in Denver we have two talk show hosts worthy of national syndication, Mike Rosen and Jon Caldara, both on 850am KOA. There just aren't enough national timeslots available on AM/FM radio.
The good news is that the conservative message is dominating the air waves.
