Air America Vs. Rush Limbaugh

Back when we used to live up in Naples, NY, I loved listening to Rush Limbaugh. I have to admit, I am not a conservative, but the man was entertaining.
This is back in the day when he used to beat up on Bill Clinton. Even though I thought the whole Clinton scandal was a little “consuming” for my taste, I still liked listening to what Rush had to say. Hmmm, perhaps it was because I was living in the middle of nowhere and the radio was slowly becoming my friend. Ok, we’ll leave that out of this.
I have discovered an old pal, Air America Radio. This is basically the “Anti-Rush” equivalent. It’s funny how long it took the left to come up with a counter punch to the right’s rambling on the air waves for all these years. I mean, heelllooooo…is anyone out there? Maybe it’s because there was never anything to talk about. We had a Democrat in office as president, so it would have been a little weird to get on the air and complain about stuff. When people tune in to these kinds of shows, they want to hear drama, not the sound of patting one’s self on the back. I suppose they could have gone after congress and Newt Gingrich, but that wouldn’t have been that effective.
I gotta tell you, I like Air America. Of course, it isn’t all too objective, but it seems to be based more on intelligence than that other show I was talking about in the beginning of this post. I doesn’t seem like anyone is trying to pull something over on me, yet, they are just trying to explain something to me. They even offer the video and audio to back up what they are saying. I may, admittedly, have receptive ears though.
My favorites are Rachel Maddow and Ron Reagan. They offer the same level of sarcasm that I was semi-forced to listen to while in Naples. Now, this is good stuff.
