He was polite...tha doesn't mean he was "milque-toast"...and never disagreed 
with anyone.

I think the point was that Brudnoy did not engage in yelling and screaming. 
When he disagreed he used his deep vocabulary to excoriate his oponent. 
When he disagreed with you, he usually gave you a thoughtful reply.  He also 
gave his opponent plenty of time to make his case and respond.

It is true, he could be harsh, as he had deeply held beliefs.

But I am guessing that you are of the liberal persuasion, and didn't 
appreciate any values different from yours.

I am a conservative, yet I can appreciate Rachel Maddow's civil tone and 
approach.

I know Donna has Liberal leanings, yet she could appreciate the civil tone 
of Mr. Brudnoy, and even the spirited discussions.


PS:  Clinton did it to himself, and hung himself out there for all of the 
jokes and criticism.

I think you have to look beyond your own personal beliefs to appreciate the 
effectiveness of a broadcaster.
