But that is the way all talk show hosts come across to me.  They hardly ever 
actually let the caller actually make their point.  Many talk show hosts 
really love the sound of their own voices, which is hardly the point, is it?  
And if there are any talk show hosts on this list who aren't like that, I 
apologize.
