His program is already carried only on stations that depend on the listeners that he panders to for economic survival. They already are where they want to be in the market and have no fear of losing ground from what are really no more than than routine right wing whacko type "communicational excesses". In fact, just the opposite. The brain dead 28% on the far right clearly don't have the clout to carry any political party to success but that are still numerous enough to make a large market for the right wing radio talk show brand of political fantasies. These are folks who still talk about the "global warming conspiracy", and believe that there is no recession, and that GWB both made our country safer and the world better. Nothing short of the grave will ever have an impact on the dwindling number of folks with that particular point of view.

Bush, who is currently bringing us a horrible economic crisis * gay-bashers and homophobes * ultra-religious kooks like Sarah Palin * KKK/Skinhead/Neo-nazi types, along with plain old-fashioned racists * advocates for liberty (for themselves), along with massive eavesdropping and email spying for others Yes... the GOP needs to do some very serious self-examination.
