Favorites On the Right

I participated in one of John Hawkins' perennial surveys. In this one he asks conservative bloggers which personalities on the right were their favorites. Here's my list:

George W. Bush
Donald Rumsfeld
Norm Coleman
Dennis Prager
Laura Ingraham
Thomas Sowell
Charles Krauthammer
Jeff Goldstein
Francis W. Poretto
Connie du Toit
Brit Hume

I left off people like Victor Davis Hanson, Charles Johnson and Michael Totten because they are not on the right per se; they are disaffected Liberals.

The most humorous/bizarre thing in the response to John's results was the immediate hue and cry against the alleged Christianity of persons picked. From the first comment: "I think [it] would make Jesus wince when they call themselves 'Christians'."

Somehow I don't think Charles Krauthammer, Dennis Prager, Jeff Goldstein (Jews) or Connie du Toit (an atheist) would loose any sleep over that pronouncement.

UPDATE:

Dang! I can't believe I left out Mark Steyn!

UPDATE: To everybody else: it's not that I love these people more that I love you. It's just that I agree with these people more than I agree with you. Therefore, "favorite" in my judgement for this poll means "in agreement," rather than good, better or best.

Thank you. I agree with you, too.

That was a tough survey. I tried to keep the number of columnists down, because there was a separate survey on columnists. I certainly had a bunch of radio people on there, including Prager and Medved.

And I managed to keep it down to one blogger (another Jeff).

And I clean forgot Sowell, who's the intellectual equivalent of buried treasure. At least I remembered the President ;)

[Francis W. Porretto]

Jeez, Juliette, I'm overwhelmed. Thank you. You're too kind.

As a "liberal" my favorote personalities on the right are James Dobson and Dick Cheney--I love it every time they speak ;)

Cheney for the Republican ticket in 2008!!!

[Sammy's Boy]

I would have to add Jonah Goldberg. His humor and intellect are well balanced.

another columnist to add to the list { sorry] In Oregon we have
Lars Larson . The station is based in ultra liberal Portland but we get it here ,to the east, He's got his work cut-out, and does a great job at shutting down the resident morons. I listen to it more for laughs than news.

Justin: Are you trying to get Helen Thomas to kill herself? (Heh.)
