Bill Bennett's new show

You can listen here. If guests are any measure, he's got a winner. How many talk show hosts can get Mario Cuomo, Donald Rumsfeld, George Will and Rush Limbaugh to call in on their first show? Not Al Franken.

I liked Limbaugh's advice: Have fun. Don't talk about other talk shows.

I might add, make your listeners think.

Bennett is obviously unaccustomed to the job. It'll be interesting to hear how he interacts with callers, and he needs to brighten up his delivery. He's got the right parts; I hope he can put them together.

And, as I remembered listening to Hugh Hewitt, he needs a producer like Generalissimo. His bumps are, with the exception of the one for John Campbell, referring to Sacramento, creative and hip.
