Recruit Rick

I agree with Elliot on this one:

Once again Wisconsin Public Radio’s Week in Review on Joy Cardin’s show’s had a pitiful excuse for a Conservative holding up the “right” side of the conversation.

Whenever the “Conservative” agrees with the “Liberal” 80% of the time you can be sure of two things:

the guy’s not much of a conservative
it’s gonna be a pretty boring show
In the past, I’ve recommended that WPR recruit Owen of the blog Boots & Sabers more often to represent the Conservative side of the bench.

But since they already have Owen on fairly often, I’d like to recommend Rich Essenberg of the blog Shark and Shepherd.

Considering that the lefties they have on range from communist to socialist, their average conservative should be somewhere to the right of Olympia Snowe.

For the record, WPR tries to not repeat guests more than once a month.  I’m generally on every 4 to 5 weeks - depending on my schedule.
