A Radio Hightower August 5, 2003March 25, 2012 So I’m driving in from the Hamptons, listening to my Hertz woman in one ear (‘continue on current road, two miles’) and pressing the SEEK button of the radio going from one right-wing talk show host to the next (which is fine; I like to listen) when I come to one I hadn’t heard before, talking about the flag. Jim Hightower is his name. From Texas. And as I listened, I realized – what rare bird is this? — he was a liberal radio talk show host. So I Googled him when I got home (‘you have arrived,’ says the Hertz woman), and here he is.
