"the kook left" beside themselves w/ anger, rush wouldn't be surprised if dems call for bill burkett and cindy sheehan to unite for a sit-in on the outskirts of new orleans. "your first reaction is to laugh ... " oh, really?

how many of his listeners will be repeating this one as fact tomorrow?

i'll say this for rush: he sounds very convincing. this is part of air america's problem: aside from randi rhodes, none of them are experienced radio hands. radio is not tv, it's not like any other medium. franken and the rest--but not catherine lanpher, who has extensive experience--were thrown on the air, the not-quite-ready-for-airtime players, and the listener has to experience them in their growing pains, bumping into microphones, losing callers, coughing on air, etc. the advantage of the conservative hosts, by and large, is that they didn't grow up on the air: they got all of the kinks out on their local affiliates. rush, for all of his faults, is a fantastic radio man; he grew up not wanting to be a comedian or on 'snl,' but wanting to be a radio host.
