Laura and Rush are a perfect pair. She has that nails-on-a-blackboard voice and he's deaf.

Ingram's patriotism and love of country extend this far...when Fox News, esp. Bill O'Reilly, was pushing their "boycott" of France, and how we shouldn't buy any French products, etc. Ingram said (I heard it, so I know it's true) "Oh no, I'm not giving up my French wine."

Good move, Laura. Drink as much of that stuff as you possibly can. I'll bet you're not giving up any Iranian caviar either are you, you spoiled, stupid little twit? Yes, I said twit, respecting the FM rules.

Gallagher, Prager and Medved are better than Rush. We get them on AM 660. Ingraham is not as bad as Rush.

So you listen to them on AM 660, huh? That's good. And in that case you need to tip your hat to Rush Limbaugh who is generally credited by radio station owners with nearly single-handedly saving AM radio. It was Limbaugh who proved that AM station owners could compete with FM stations if they could provide a format that didn't depend upon sound fidelity AND which would generate a respectable audience. And lo' "Talk Radio" took off to the point where in multi-station markets FM stations began switching to "all talk" formats to compete.

Saving AM radio from what? Truck drivers listening to old 8 tracks?

You have problem with truck drivers? I mean, the reference to "old 8-tracks" sounds like maybe you think people who drive trucks for a living a just a wee bit below you. I guess they'd have to be pretty ignorant to listen to "old 8-tracks" because they couldn't listen to AM radio. Probably because truck drivers are too ignorant to realize that FM radio even exists. You think?

I bet you those truck drivers shop at Wal-Mart...the dirty plebeians.

Of course I'm being facetious... (about the use of 8 tracks). Seriously, what activity options are available to a truck driver?...who is on the road (usually by himself) for 12 + hours a day?

He/she can listen to music, audio books, stereo set up...or the radio. Speaking from "experience", I know how lonely the road can become. Most of the time, I prefer my own zone...listening to music or books, but other times, I desire human contact. At those times, I listen to the radio while I drive. Unfortunately, radio options are few. Most of them maintain the same tenor.

It is my opinion, but shows like Rush's are the audio version of listening to the National Enquirer...

River17, a seasoned veteran truck driver posted this on a trucker's website:

Many FedEx Freight drivers like to stay on the cutting edge of societal evolution by listening to El Rushbo for the past 20 years.
For those that have not followed his rise on the radio, can just read the following lengthy article in the New York Times Sunday Magazine.

I don't know Gallagher. Medved is a bit more reasonable than some, Prager is IMO the pig of the world.

You mean Dennis Prager, right? Otherwise I withdraw my comment.
