Some of the hosts are interesting personalities who inject some pretty decent humor into what they do. And they usually score pretty good interviews too.

I catch some of Glenn Beck's show on the way to work, Limbaugh or Hannity when I drive out for lunch, and Mark Levin or Michael Savage on the way home. I'll listen to some of Alan Colmes' show on my drive to and from the gym. But the conservatives have vastly more entertaining shows.
At this rate, such programs are akin to Pro Wrestling...rigged debates, rigged rantings, giving the audience what they want (That they're always Right), and idiotic as fucking hell.**

Off topic, but apparently in an upcoming biography, the late William Buckley.....the conservative ideological leader who's National Review was the seabed for the Neo-Cons today.....quietly washed his hands of that clique.*
