Despite his claims of "comedy" when he starts name-calling Palin and Bachmann I turn it off. It ain't funny how he hates those two.. though he did defend Palin against his rabid Lefty regular guests who delighted in that "book" that some nut wrote.
Charles McCord was a real asset to the show and his absence shows...Bernie also used to do "man in the Street" interviews, which were hysterical.
I think the whole Rutgers Girls' team flap, Sharpton's attacks and Imus being fired from WFAN pretty much did him in...it's like he's afraid to do or say anything anymore. what a pity.
