It’s always interesting to hear the “rant snippet” commentary of talk radio hosts placed for the station’s promotional advertisements.\u00c2\u00a0 What is interesting is how they have a way of telling us that the talk show host has, roughly, nothing to say.\u00c2\u00a0 Here is the man I previously referred to as “Conservative Pundit talk-radio type guy to watch for” in this “Obama Era”, and which Talker’s Magazine has ranked at #5<\/a>, distilled down to what the station producers deemed the attention – getting appetitizing sound-byte:<\/p>\n

“Tell Me What Europe has done for the World in the last 150 Years!”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

With that I am supposed to go “Wooah!”, and program my radio to catch more of the wisdom of Glen Beck.\u00c2\u00a0 The answer to Glen Beck’s demand on what Europe has done in the last 150 years:\u00c2\u00a0 It has\u00c2\u00a0stationed itself over\u00c2\u00a02% of the Earth’s surface and about comprised about 6.8% of its land area.\u00c2\u00a0 Take that, Mr. Beck!<\/p>\n

Looking down that “Talker’s Magazine” list, we see the first “liberal” as “Thom Hartmann” at #10, situated right there behind, um er and huh, “Mancow”.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s relatively arbitrary to rank them, and I suspect that it’s deemed best to slot “Liberal Talk Format” (which, regardless of relative failure, has secured some presence on the radio-waves) host close to the Top 10 — better Thom Hartmann than Ed Schultz. \u00c2\u00a0Randi Rhodes, at #48, surely will fall to that “101 – 250” list, based on the news of what happened to her<\/a>, and the fall of that make-shift up-start network.\u00c2\u00a0 But does this mean that Randi Rhodes become a supplicant at the station she fled from to sign up with Air America?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
