PEJ Talk Show Index: November 4-9, 2007, Liberal Talkers Cheer the “I” Word – and so Does Rush

It's not uncommon in the polarizing world of Talk Shows that one person is held as a hero by one side of the political spectrum and a villain by the other. What is odd, however, is to have talkers from both the political right and left cheering that person on— if for opposite reasons.
