With Clinton's impeachment likely, your message couldn't possibly have been
more poorly timed. Look for a huge resurgence (albeit probably only a
temporary one) in national talk radio. I havene't heard Limbaugh in well

for every cent he can get. I think you'll find dozens of stations clamoring
for affiliations.
