Is AM Talk Radio:Affirmative Action For Old White Guys?
Fiction Writers, close but couldn't hack it! Sportscasters? Nope, fired. College Grad -- yes for some, but drop outs, too.

So what do Rush, Savage, Bortz, Hannity, Levin, O'Reilly and Beck bring to the World since they are seeming unemployable elsewhere? Nothing but ruin. So my question is if they were losers in the real World why did they get high paying comedy/gossip/fiction mouthers from rich Conservative fat cats?

Answer: Affirmative Action for Conservative losers!



Ahh...cigars and fine young Dominican Republic boys.

1. I stopped caring.......
Used to bother during the Clinton years (partly takes the blames). Now we have the internets and blogs and I think the Dems are more dominant in this domain. I would rather have this domain than AM radio any day.

2. Who says they're unemployable elsewhere?
There are over 3,000 Wal-Marts in this great land. Surely a few of them must be looking for greeters. :P

It sure as hell is in Massachusetts. What's worse, is these blowhards think they are in the majority when they speak with such affirmative tones....


though I would not call it affirmative action since we are talking about a monopoly.
