"Ask yourself why that is? Why do O'Reilly, Hannity, Rush and Ingraham have such large audiences? Why does Franken and Air America have tiny audiences?"

I have asked myself. I don't really have an answer but I don't think it's that more people agree with them. We have a talk show down here with a couple of Democrats that do the show and it sucks. I'm more likely to agree with them but I can't stand listening to them. I think the thing is the "conservative" talk hosts deal in absolutes all the time and are harsh and full of blame. People love to bitch & blame, it's the American way, and nobody bitches and blames like a right wing talk show host. So, by that "factor" they have a wider appeal and are more entertaining. How's that theory?

"Is the sun shining down there yet? I tell ya if it doesn't come out soon I'm going start taking hostages. It has now rained here 20 out of 24 days this month."

No sun here either but they say it's gonna shine tomorrow.
