Wilde Thing!
Having taken the day off, I cruised home from the Capitol on Univesity Avenue. I tuned in KSTP to see if Ron and Mark were discussing the rally. They weren't, so I punched up Air America to hear The Wendy Wilde Show. She was, so I listened, for an hour and a half.
I hadn't heard her before. I was stunned. My friends, I've heard many talk show hosts over my many years and my over many travels around the country. I cannot think of anyone like her.
I can't express it one word. Egoist? Sure, but most talk show hosts are; it goes with the job. But she's full tilt narcissistic. Self-absorbed? You bet! Open to new ideas: None needed, she has it all figured out. Considerate of others who disagree? Openly hostile, I'd say. Honest? Not if it hurts her causes.
Elitist might work, in the Laura Ingraham sense.
Leaving aside deliberate fire-bombers like Ed Shultz and Michael Savage, she is the worst talk show host in the Twin Cities market. Worse than Nick Coleman. Worse than Ron Rosenbaum. She's certainly in the top five nationally in my experience.
Truth clearly means nothing to her. Other people's points of view, even their hopes and dreams clearly don't matter to her. You have value in her world only to the extent you agree with her.

She's as blind as she can be
Just sees what she wants to see
Nowhere gal, can you see me at all?
