... being replaced by Herman Cain.

Heard on Hannity; H/T Drudge for article
-
Wonder if he's retiring....abroad?

Wonder if he's retiring....abroad?
Not what he's said, according to Hannity and Cain; he wants to travel -- got his RV and a hookup on it for his motorcycle.

Heard him speak about a familial dementia thing once, maybe
it's catching up with him. Hope not.

Hmmm....
Wish Neal well, hope Herman can run with this and do some good.

I've listened to Boortz on occasion and found him funny and informative.
But on more than a handful of occasions, I've wondered whether he does any show-prep or even cursory research about his show subjects, and I've wondered at the depth of his knowledge, or how seriously he takes his role as a voice for conservatism. There are times I've listened to him when he has put forth absolute falsehoods adamantly as fact; things that demonstrably are simply not true at first glance. Basic things, like what the constitution says and does not say.
One example: He insisted that the ONLY thing the constitution says about religion is that the government cannot erect a national church. Over and over again he misquoted the establishment clause with a clumsy paraphrase, and caller after caller called in to try to engage him on the free exercise clause and he interrupted them and boorishly reasserted his asinine claim. That's just the one example at the top of my mind.
I wish him well.

I was under the impression that he preferred the label of libertarian rather than conservative. I was also under the impression that he wasn't a pro-religion person. Not sure if that means agnostic or atheist but that was my impression.
I didn't listen to him very frequently and not recently...probably not for several years. The last time that I heard him he was pushing the Fair Tax very heavily during some election year. Bit of a lost cause at that point...now, maybe not so much.
At any rate, I too wish him well.
