Leo laporte is not a cool guy.

Would you mind elaborating? As a long time viewer of Twit and several umbrella shows, I'd love to find out more.

Showing his ding dong on the video feed, revealing his porn habits, talking very unprofessionally to female colleagues

Care to elaborate? I never got too into his shows, but he never seemed particularly uncool to me.

Don't bother. his (simooo) opinion is no more valid than anyone else. Not coincidentally anyone can see Leo puts out original content for a very long time. From the beginning. No matter what I hope he always is able to keep doing it.

Not opinion. Facts

I like Security Now. And when Fr. Robert Ballecer is covering for Leo I simply love it. Leo is a little clueless on the hard issues, and Fr. Robert can milk more info out of Steve and go to more in depth discussions. Too bad he's leaving the network...

Exactly right. I stopped listening to SN, because Laporte being on auto-pilot for 90% of each episode does not make for an interesting conversation.

There's a silver lining to his absentee hosting style. When I'm skipping past a commercial (hitting the +15 button), I know that I can keep hitting it until I don't hear his voice anymore. He's basically only there to read the ads.
