“And don’t forget about all the air time he spends on his endless promotion of his tea and children’s books...”
Exactly!
I’m with you.
Frankly I think that the Sandra Fluke business was overblown—Sandra Fluke got what she had coming, as far as I’m concerned. The way I was raised, when you put yourself purposely in the public eye with something like that, you have to take whatever heat comes your way without complaining.
That being said, a lot of what Rush does has gotten old. He still hits it out of the park once in awhile, but the trick is knowing when the show will be good for all 3 hours and tuning in. Much of the time it’s like a soap opera—still hashing and rehashing the same stuff as months or years ago, with heavy emphasis on ANY mention of him in any segment of the media. He also has a habit of shooting his mouth off on subjects he clearly doesn’t know enough about. Some timely topics are conspicuous in their absence, for reasons known only to him. Thank goodness he doesn’t spend Mondays namedropping all the big shots he socialized with over the weekend any more. I think when I really lost considerable(not all, but considerable) respect for him was when he said that he makes up his mind about important questions based on who’s on what side. He was talking about climate change, but it could be anything. He said that because of who was on the other side was enough for him to decide what side he was on. Huh? Climate change aside, I don’t call that critical thinking. I was astonished that he would admit something like this.
