Can't disagree with anything you have written. Well done.

Why was the "New" Hillary left of this list? She would have been a lock for Numero Uno.

P.S. I loved the long pause; how poetic...

I think it's sad that your choices and the choice of so many others are right-wingers that are bad because they're "too right-wing." Why not put the moderates up there; so-called right-wingers like George W.

As for Pat on Israel, he's a fierce critic, but that's better than the dual-loyalty-freaks like Kristol and Krauthammer that see no distinction of interests whatsoever, for whom a sacrificial war on Israel's behalf is a good thing in their minds. Washington warned against this sort of thing. Why are we still sending them billions after the cold war ended; isn't this kind of silly?

I don't necessarily agree with a lot of your choices, but the long pause.... good day made me fall out of my chair laughing. And it's impossible to say that and not upspeak it in his old man voice.

Heh... I had exactly the same thought re: McCain and being on the right. That's partly what gave me fits about coming up with a list of my own. A lot of the people I came up with were either extremists or milquetoasts.

Nice job.

OMG. Even funnier. I didn't read your whole post.

I loathe Tucker Carlson, and "milquetoast" is the exact word I would have used to describe him.

Too funny. I have GOT to stop multi-tasking...

Bob Novak, never liked him. Yah, i know he's a legend, but his best days ended before i was born.

thanks for summarizing my life,

annie.

Interesting choices, Annie. Paul Harvey has bugged the shit out of me since I started listenting to talk radio as a kid. I hate it when he goes from story to commercial without any sort of transition. The only thing worse is that now his kid is trying to imitate him----silly old-man voice and all.

Savage is just too much. Even when I agree with his message, I'm turned off by the delivery. If I'm going to listen to a cultural conservative, I much prefer Michael Medved: smart, precise, and polite.

I'm absolutely with you on Dobson, Fallwell, and Robertson. Please guys, stick to Christian radio and stop embarrassing us. Dobson is actually fairly interesting and knowledgable when he sticks to his area of expertise.

WOW! where to begin. Coulter and Savage are simply hate mongers, they are embarrasing. Buchanan can be dismissed because he has lost almost all of his influence.
As for politicians, I think you will always find some people who dislike a particular issue or two.
I dont dislike McCain, but I think he is an overambitious media whore, and that little McCain-Feingold run around the first amendment is not cool. Besides, he has tiny little T-Rex hands.
I like Tucker Carlson, his new show is fairly entertaining. Sure he dosent mix it up, thats not his style, but he gets his point across.
As for the religious conservatives, The media will always go after the most obnoxious one for sound bites, nothing you can do about that.

Lighten up a little, please. Ann Coulter is way over the top, but funny. Just tune out the excess. Watching a liberal swallow his/her tongue is amusing.

I have no idea why Hannity and Gingrich made this list.

Chafee, Pataki, Schwartzenegger, Voinovich, Hagel, Sullivan, and O'Reilly are on the right? I must be out of the mainstream.

McCain gets my vote. The man's a hero and an idiot.

i can't figure McCain out. The man's a legitimate hero, but he loves being a Senator more than representing his constituency. i also agree that Coulter is unfairly criticized. She's a humorist, and a good one. No one should take her too seriously.

Small hands are usually a warning sign though. Of what is anyone's guess.

So how long are you going to keep throwing gas on the fire to boost controversy? Why not just lift the shirt the rest of the way?

You're wrong, Pat isn't an anti-semite. It's pathetic when you can't criticize AIPAC and the influence that Israel has in our international policy without being called a Nazi.

Finally... remember Ronald Reagan's eleventh commandmant. Unless you're talking about Spectre, then the gloves are off.

Casca, James Bond (the Connery one i think) took care of Spectre a long time ago. Get with the program.

Ya know, Arlen's been lookin' a little like Blofeld lately......

i never thought of that until now, but he does look a little Donald Pleasance-ish. All he needs is a scar and a cat.

Agreed on most everything, but I'm still not sure how Santorum's a "bigot." Why is it when Christian/Catholics have strongly held views, they're deemed "bigots"? Edumacate me here, someone.

McCain = RINO.

Tucker Carlson looks like he was conceived in a petri dish.

Coulter is amusing and intelligent, but her emotions tend to control her, and she defines TACTLESS. She cares nothing for who she offends, or how she offends them. I do admire her to a point, but it's a matter of minutes when she talks before I cringe in agony.

I've never heard Savage on the radio, but the titles of his books scream "I am a lunatic."

Buchanan is just unlikeable. Doesn't matter what he says, he's just not very nice, not very interesting.

I never gave Paul Harvey a second thought until a couple of years ago. When Mt. Lemmon outside of Tucson was burning, he mentioned it on his show and blithely got several important facts quite wrong. Then shortly thereafter he unloaded some misleading BS about Salvia divinorum. So I have no confidence whatsoever now that he's really giving me "the r-r-r-rest! of the story", and not some dressed up tripe that just sounds good on the radio.

And you already know how I feel about McCain.
