Ed Schultz: as many listeners as Jim Bohannon

When he isn't promising to lick any man in the joint, Ed Schultz has a radio program. And, unlike Air America Radio's audience which largely consists of cows outside Karnes, Texas, apparently somewhere around 3.25 million listeners on a weekly, cumulative basis tune in the Shultz show, sources say. That ties him with Jim Bohannon (link), Doug Stephan (link), Clark Howard (link), and even someone you may have heard of: Bill O'Reilly. Of course, that's still over 10 million shy of Rush Limbaugh and just slightly ahead of Bill Bennett. Nevertheless, this should give "liberals" some comfort, even despite the fact that, as we all know, Shultz' liberalism is just an act and he's actually a crypto-conservative. In fact, his show is most likely an elaborate ruse by the RNC: shortly before the '08 elections he'll probably have a "miraculous" conversion back to conservatism, just in time to urge his listeners to do the right thing.
