so conservative he makes me look like a hippie.

He's been a standard bearer for the conservative viewpoint for a long time. He's a bit crochety and irritable now, probably because he was usually a "lone" voice against a shrill chorus of liberal voices, spinning and dancing around stubborn but malleable facts, in an effort to "cover" for their team.

It's funny how he doesn't seem to deserve 1st Amendment protections for his sources, simply because of his ideology. Singing like a bird?

Looks like his career is history. His own crowd is upset that he sang like a bird. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
