Mark Levin
KTLK has changed the lineup after Jason Lewis, pushing Glen Beck to 10 pm in order to carry Mark Levin. We've all heard Mr. Levin as a guest on many programs, always animated. On his own show, he's rabid in calling out every politician and group he disagrees with.
He's basically taken the Savage Nation (which he calls the Weiner Nation) but put some intellectual context around his tirades. If you need a lift or need to vent, his opening monologues will get you going. His web site has the last 4 weeks or so of his podcasts, and they're free.
I shouldn't really enjoy hearing him refer to Michael Savage as "snaggletooth" or Senator Clinton as "her thighness" but I secretly do. I can at least say that he doesn't lampoon anyone undeserving.
So, I think this is a good change. Beck's show is well-produced, Glen is very talented, but the show seems somehow less than the sum of its parts. 10 pm is a better fit for him, IMO.
