He was a Bush supporter in 2000, and he was no friend of the Clintons.

For the record, though, it can be noted that he has been inducted into the
Radio Hall of Fame, and that in 2002, Talkers magazine rated him third (after Limbough and Howard Stren) in its list of
the 25 Greatest Radio Talk Show Hosts of All Time. (Of course, looking at some of the other names on the list, skepticism may be in order.) He's been around a long time.
Where this will hurt him is in advertising. Some big companies have already pulled their advertising from his show, which charges some of the highest advertising rates in talk radio.
Disclaimer: I rarely listen to him, but I'll stick up for him just a little bit because of the way he lambasted Joe Barton on a daily basis for blocking funding for autism research.
