I hated Lionel when I first heard the show but anything beats Springer. Even though he doesn't know anything about politics, civility, manners, subtlety or dairy farming he has grown on me. Very witty. Very well read. Very egotistical. Very cruel (just have the radio on in the background when you call in and he asks you to go and turn it up).
Still, he makes me laugh when most media makes me cry.
