Rush is more valuable on the air, getting this stuff out there then as a minimally influential politician

I shutter to think of what this country would be like without him each day.

Why Al Franken Has More Guts Than Rush Limbaugh

Because someone who spews that much crap has gotta have more guts?

Obama’s Supreme Court nominee could be fillibustered by one singel Senator with guts. Rush could be that Senator but he has said that he would never take the pay cut. I take him at his word- he’s in it for the bucks.

You shutter your windows?

I think the word you were looking for was shudder.

I agree. Certainly conservatives who would make good at elective office should take a shot at at. The author actually seems to agree with your statement when he says:

"Sam Adams and the Sons of Liberty were not just rabble rousers. Many of them were elected assemblymen who shaped the course of our nation’s history."

Clearly then, there were Sons of Liberty who were "just" rabble rousers (maybe they, like Rush, were doing what they did best, i.e., "rouse" the public [rabble]).
