Who’s got the biggest (or wisest) mouth?

WSB-AM is holding another “Meeting of the Mouths” Saturday at the Cobb County Civic Center. No prepared speeches allowed, just a lively gabfest on current topics, the radio station promises.

The lineup:

— Neal Boortz

— James Carville

— Sean Hannity

— Clark Howard

— Neil Cavuto

— Hollis Gillespie

— Ron Carlson

Who will have the most to say? Do you have a favorite in the lineup? How do they match up against each other?

Let me guess. They will all try to talk at once. Everyone, that is, other than Clark Howard, who will only laugh when he can’t get a word in and when the rest make fun of him for being a class act and gentleman. I love Neal, Sean and Clark, but the rest you can have.

The “mouth of the south”….Clark Howard. James Carville would have nothing to talk about if the Clintons didnt exist. Neal is talking heavy to sell his book.Talking is all about money.

How dare you put Clark Howard in a list with these unlikeable knowitalls. He’s the only one of these that serves any purpose for the good of the comman person. He tells us how to save money and keep from getting scammed. The others only want to tell us what we should think.

But I particularly can’t stand Sean Hannity. You ever notice than anyone who agrees with Sean is “a great American” ? What an ego? And a coward. He never gives differing opinions equal time.

Loudest and most obnoxious: Carville. I can’t stand to even hear his voice.

Loudest and most obnoxious II: Boortz. He’s getting more arrogant by the day with his big book, and he thinks he DESERVES his prosperity and others don’t. I agree with him about 75% of the time though. Love Belinda! Why does she work for him?

Loud but rightfully so: Hannity. Speaks the truth more than anyone in the media.

Not too loud but pretty cool: Clark Howard.

How could you not mention Don “the mouth of the South” Sutton??! That man never shuts up.

Talk radio is the bane of modern civilization. It’s where people tune in to hear their own crazy beliefs validated and affirmed. Clark Howard is cool and helpful, the rest of the crowd is only so much static.

Neal & Sean should win. What they say they give to you straight. James Carville…HAHAHA…it’s just mindless dribble. His wife can’t even get him to shutup and think before he spews forth ignorance.

Why not include Ann Coulter on this list? My vote is for Sean Hannity …….. Mr. Annoyance

How come neither my wife or my mother in law made the list? I have to say James Carvile, but he has been quieter than usual lately. I am sure that will change as the election dates grow closer, especially if Hillary decides to run for the oval office. Sean is a close second.

James Carville’s wife is the one with big mouth in that family. Mary Matalin is a whack job without peer.

My personal fave is Sean Hannity! He really is a great American…I guess that means I am too. Boortz is pretty cool too and Clark gives good advice on most things, but Hannity is the man!

I know the people who listen to this crowd are glad they’ll all be in one room. They won’t have to think for themselves for weeks.

James Carville who is a flap lipped, rabble rousing, suck up to the Clintons, wins hands down followed by “I am an expert on everything” Boortz.

Neal Boortz. How can anybody take him seriously? The man shamelessly hawks everything from diamonds to dog food.

Good grief! I’d rather have a root canal than be in the same room with even one of these squawkers. All of them at once is just plain masochistic.

Neal Boortz will be the only one talking. I wish I could go just to get a good laugh. I know it’s going to be “off the chain.” slang

I agree with Debra, but would single out Sean. Not only does he have a big mouth, he says so many stupid things I have concluded he is really, really stupid.

Sean Hannity by far. But the funny thing is: he’s good looking.

Neal Boortz, James Carville and Clark Howard are all equally insipid broken records droning on irritatingly.

SEAN HANNITY!!!! Hands down will be spewing his normal voluminous drivel at the lock-step conservative masses, of course, AT FULL VOLUME! I’d rather do 10 laps in a swimming pool filled with broken glass.

Well, he’s not on the list, but what about the Kimmer? Best radio show in Atlanta, hands down, but the man sure does love to talk!!

Though I think both these guys are great, even if they bring a skewed sports objective to Atlanta radio…

Why not John Kincaid or Perry Laurentino?

Yankees always have a big mouth!

Especially when their teams are doing well, or they think they are doing well.

Not that us Dawg fans have big mouths… we’re just preaching the Gospel, you understand.

Funny “keeping it real”, I didn’t realize Hannity and DeLay were hypocrites to the working class. I work and I don’t think they are hypocrites. DeLay has made some mistakes but the only person I can think of that never made a mistake is Jesus Christ!

I’d say Neil Boortz has the biggest mouth of this group, simply because he’s the most adept at talking out of both sides of it. You can’t be a true Libertarian yet support the ultimate act of government, which is a premptive-strike war.

As for Hannity, I don’t think he even believes a lot of what he says. I think he’s more of an entertainment character at this point, whose often deliberately absurd statements are meant to spark the outrage they often do.

Clark Howard is definitely the class of this bunch. To paraphrase an earlier posting or two, Clark at least serves a positive purpose. The others (well Hannity and Boortz mainly) serve to criticize and spread negativity.

I am lucky enough to be going to this event, and I can’t WAIT to see how Sean and Neil and Neal wipe the floor with that idiot Carville. I love Clark Howard and I look forward to his input, but the only thing that could make this event better would be to have Ann Coulter or Michelle Malkin up there with them. As for the biggest mouth - it’s a tie between Sean and Boortz, but the biggest idiot will definitely be Carville.

I vote for Randi Rhodekill of Air America. That extremist liberal witch makes Boortz look like a pussycat. Too bad Airhead America won’t be around much longer.

I have the utmost respect for Clark Howard; I think we can all learn a lot from him. Hannity and Boortz have good intentions but they never seem to give their listens the respect they deserve. Diversity is what this country is all about and we may not agree with everyone but I would fight for their right to speak their mind. Anyone (specifically Carville) that believes anything the Clintons say is the truth is a fool; plain and simple.

Neal will win, and rightfully so!!! He’s the best ever! One of the few people I listened to as a liberal that didn’t agree with me, and he changed me so he’s got a shot at anybody!!

I would rather watch television or listen to the radio when the mouths are on. Paying $20.00 would be validating them,making them feel that society cannot do without them. Most of them are into shock-value entertainment. Most of them have become quite wealthy and unable to relate to the masses. They should all donate the proceeds to the rebuilding of the Gulf Coast.LET’S SEE IF THEY DO THAT ON SATURDAY!
