[caper gal 1]

Rush is 60 years old, has a lovely new bride, enough money to never have to work another day in his life. He doesn’t put all his time and effort into his show because he needs the gig, he does it because he cares passionately about what he does. NOBODY bats 1,000 - he speaks off the cuff, 3 hours a day, 5-days a week. Occasionally you’re going to say something you probably would have written differently given the luxury of time and editing, but he took this as far as he could as long as he could before just having to cut his losses and let it pass. More than the corporate advertisers, I think his move was spurred more by the fact that this has become too much of a lightning rod distraction leading up to this do-or-die winner takes all election.

Good one. This episode has certainly developed into a shibboleth to cut the Rush haters, both those of the left and (supposedly) the right, from the herd.
