It's July: no politics until August.
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer!

No Rush

The new lineup for KSTP AM 1500 is out, the one that has to deal with the loss of Limbaugh (January) and Hannity (later) to FM. Mitch Berg was all but sure that Jason Lewis would be part of it, but not yet anyway.

Details are in the paper and other blogs, but overall I have just one question: why should I listen? Only Joe Soucheray has any real ratings punch. Joe will now do 3.5 hours a day, handing off to T. D. Mischke at 5:30 pm. The latter makes no sense to me.

I guess I won't be hearing much of Bob Davis from now on, who moves to 9-12 mornings after a new addition: Willie Clark. Unless Willie is surprisingly good, Bill Bennett will take over in my mornings.

So again, what will make make me listen moer to AM 1500? Nothing I see here.

Good grief! No Rush or Hannity? If they had some worthwhile replacements that would be one thing. GL and Mischke are great, but Bob Davis... eh. Ron and Mark can be fun, too. What the hell is the matter with their line-up now? Why change after all these years?

Pat Kessler? Isn't he the guy on channel 4 tv that gives me the "truth" on controversial claims and such?

For me it will be 1. Bill Bennet - 2. nothing (maybe Prager) - 3. Rush - 4. Jason Lewis (via internet) or Medved - 5. that jerky guy on the patriot before Savage (can't remember his name) you know "evening grace" ect.. - in that order.
