I like Albert Mohler the best. I can call him a talk show host because he is on everyday and comments on the news. I'm continually impressed with his ability to analyze the news from a biblical perspective and help the listener to form a Christian response.
I listened to Rush from day one and then for many years. As long as one keeps in mind that Rush is an entertainer first then he is enjoyable. I think he started to see himself as more than that and I quickly lost interest in him. He's an ideolog and a cheerleader for the republicans. I think the fact that he's a serial divorcer also turned me off to him. He's not as unpalatable as the narcissistic and smug Sean Hannity because, as I said already, Rush can be entertaining.
Sorry Grymir, you're avatar bugs me. I keep telling myself that I was a young ideolog myself once - you'll come around.
