- "Probably setting myself up here"? You mean you don't know what you're
- talking about either? Curiouser and curiouser.
-
- Here's the deal: no, I have never heard of Alan Colmes, despite the fact
- that I expose myself to a great deal of media. Could it be because
- Mr. Colmes is not, in fact, paid nearly as much attention to as Rush is?
- I still maintain that there is no liberal equivalent to Limbaugh in the
- media. There is no liberal ideologue who routinely and openly bashes
- conservatives on a national scale on television and radio.
