The Daily Beast recently posted a list of talk show hosts who are supposedly poised to be “the next Glenn Beck.” This apparently means a personality capable of transcending radio to become a political or cultural force. You know, somebody who will one day be the subject of a fretful Time magazine cover story.

Daily Beast writer Samuel P. Jacobs consulted with Talkers publisher Michael Harrison and unnamed “national radio hosts” to compile the list.  I love me some Michael Harrison, and I have great respect for every host on the list, but, umm, well…  take a look and see what you think.
