THE BAGGER'S FAVORITE GASBAGS

(h/t David Neiwert)

The Economist reports on survey of conservative activists that shows who are the top influencers:

• Rush Limbaugh: 41%
• Glenn Beck: 33%
• Charles Krauthammer: 29%
• Bill O'Reilly: 24%
• Sean Hannity: 21%
• Newt Gingrich: 16%
• Michelle Malkin: 16%
• Mike Huckabee: 13%
• Ann Coulter: 13%
• George Will: 13%

UPDATE: This poll was done in 2010, one of the peak Bagger years and while Beck was still on FAUX News, so that may account for Beck's high ranking. Of course, that doesn't explain why neither Mark Levin or Michael Savage made the list.
