Stretch: the old geezer here... No host of radio, tv or any other type of media can match Rush in his analysis of the current topics. You can't go wrong in quoting Rush. I'd love him to have a three hour, no holds barred interview with Hillary, or Bill. Neither would have the guts to do it...

No Dim pol will ever agree to a no-holds-barred interview with Rush. Rush has such a great command of the facts and the basic tenants of conservatism that he would crush any Dim pol.

I'm a long time Rush fan, from about 1990 or whenever he went on the air here. He is the standard by which all talk show hosts are measured.

That said, he's not a very good interviewer. His strength shows itself during his monolog.

I'm no longer an O'Reilly fan, but he is an excellant interviewer. Laura Inghram would be pretty good too.

I first heard Rush probably 15 yrs. ago. I rode on trips
with my husband and he always had Rush on. At first, I
said ooooh! how awful - talent on loan from GOD! how awful!
Then after I heard a couple of hours of Rush a couple of
times, his skill as a news analyst and his ability to be
tongue in cheek about things in a way that teaches a truth
had me hooked.

He is skilled and does what he does better than anybody
else. When something is going on in the world, if I want
to feel like I'm getting a good, positive perspective on
it, I listen to Rush. He's comforting, not with false
premises, but with a consistent truth-telling method.

His private life seems to take a back seat to his vocation,
but he is not attempting to run for some office or hold
some job that depends on his private love life being
perfect. I think his audience for the most part, while we
would have preferred the prescription drug thing hadn't
happened - we also knew that he had been put in a difficult
position after his back surgery, being in a lot of pain and
wishing to continue the work he loved.

Rush isn't trying to be anything more than what he is, not
a theologian or politician, just a great talk show host,
(without the guests). I know a lot of people listen to him
every day while driving or in the office. It doesn't work
out for me to listen every day, but he sure keeps it fresh
for those who do.
