As usual, Rush is No. 1, Beck is No. 2 and much to a previous commenter's chagrin, Savage is once again No. 3.
I can't believe Huckabee is #58! He's only been on the air a week. What's the criteria for the list, or is it a "who you know" deal?
Same criteria for Nobel Peace Prizes, I reckon.radiogossip said:
Good choice of words, "reckon", just as they did with the Nobel Peace Prize when they gave it to Carter because they didn't want to give it to Bush.quadraphonic said:
All of these awards have been co-opted by the corrupted, pointy-headed, self-centered, flat-earth, egocentric, America hating, tea & crumpet, "intellectuals".

Yes, maybe they're going by potential to be important rather than someone who has already
accomplished success in the past year, etc.! Unless they're taking into account his TV show,
but this is a radio list. Jumping the gun?

I have always laughed at the importance many seem to place on this silly list.
As many posters here have already pointed out, there seems to be little rhyme or reason to the way this list is compiled. It's just more of the talkers club predictable circle-you-know-what.
To be honest, I don't know how Michael Harrison ever became such an expert on a format he barely participated in.

Maybe this is why Talkers waited conveniently until after the first week of Huckabee's radio show to release their annual "Heavy Hundred" list this year? Think about it, Huck on the list when it was released on its usual February date might have been a bit odd - and all he'd have at that point, as far as radio was concerned, were those commentaries he's been doing a la Harvey.

Ladd writes about the period where he and Harrison were both at KMET. Granted he doesn't name him outright, but I've known some people who also worked there during that time and they all said the individual Ladd was referring to in some of these stories was definitely Harrison. He wasn't named because the stories were not flattering.
