It's not strange at all.  Talk radio is not about ideology or political positioning.  It's about entertainment, and most liberals who have tried talk radio come across as strident and lecturing...the perfect forumla for tune-out.  The conservatives are entertaining, and therefore are able to keep the audience tuned in.
