- Obviously you missed Alan Colmes. You must not know much about talk
- radio. Hmmm, funny that you would make claims about something you know
- so little about.

- FYI there are only two national, issue-oriented, no-guest-type, radio
- talk shows in the US (Probably setting myself up here.) The two hosts
- are Rush Limbaugh-Conservative, and Alan Colmes-Liberal.
