Why?
He is a squishy "moderate" who inhabits (or inhabited) MSLSD for a while.
He was a local radio guy in Philly until he got the big head and went national.
He offers nothing that cannot be learned somewhere else.
“Why?”
Because NY Drive time radio is dead, that’s why.
In the morning there is Don Imus (insufferable, although I like that Irish guy, his name is escaping me), Hillary Barsky (sp?) who is seemingly the permanent guest host on WOR, she’s probably the worst radio personality I’ve ever heard in my entire life and that includes the guy I heard reading the “trading post” classifieds on some little North Carolina station in the wee hours once, Joe Piscapo, eh, he’s OK I guess, so mostly I end up listening to Terri Gross on NPR (I know, I know!)
On the drive home, after 6 there is Mark Levin (love him but like I said he drives me nuts) and then there is sports talk on WOR and some health infomercial type stuff on 970.
THAT’S how I end up listening to Smerconish, but it’s usually only for about 20 minutes.
