Beck could well be the air apparent to Rush.

That does not take away anything from Levin or Hannity. Both are great at what they do.

The best thing of all is that all four have different broadcast styles. That's how you now they are "all" for real and great at what they do.

It’s heir apparent btw.

Beck could well be the air apparent to Rush.

Waaaaay too early to start talking about things like that. Besides, intellectually, Levin is Rush's heir. Beck can generate ratings and has a disarming style, though. Once he settles down intellectually--he needs to stop calling himself a conservative one day and a libertarian the next day--then he can start laying claim to the upper tier of conservative talk radio. Until then, Beck is still second string, albeit a very good second stringer.
