Jesse Lee Peterson is the only logical replacement. The actual choice is going to suck. Nobody could banter like Rush or could even approach him intellectually. sad day folks.
I would give 10:1 odds the replacement will be a diversity hire, not saying they won't be a good commentator, but it will be done with optics in mind.
I'd be fine with a JLP diversity hire.
Irony being they're concerned with optics in radio. I guess it's just a nice way to say they want to pander and virtue signal.
Michael Savage is smarter and funnier than Rush, there is just one little (((problem)))...
Rush was good, but an intellect he was not.
JLP doesn't have a voice for radio, he sounds like he has some sort of slight speech impediment.
Slight speech impediment? I love the guy but I'd say his speech impediment is beyond slight.
If we are going that route, I was going to say Walter Williams would be better, because he has guest hosted before is a lot more academic and articulate. Then I remembered he died a couple months ago.
