Rush has slipped a lot for me in recent years too.
I think the crapstorm over his accurate description of Sandra Fluck really rattled him.
That and his difficulty in following everything during the show by reading rather than hearing, and just poor health in general.
He doesn’t sound as certain of himself as he used to be, he apologizes and qualifies more, and I don’t think he feels as secure these days, what with the p.c. mobs ready to bring him down for a harsh word.
I don’t think it’s a question of him “selling out”...I just think he’s lost some confidence.
If I miss his show on Monday you’ll have to poke me if it’s my turn to pony up! Fregards to you WD!
I agree. But why should it "rattle" him if it was an accurate description (and I believe it was)?
It "rattled" him because it revealed Rush is NOT his own man. It "rattled " him because it "rattled" whoever is behind Rush pulling the strings.
. This would also explain Rush's shocking support of the, "full-throated conservative" Marco Rubio, who is, "in the mold of Ronald Reagan."
Quite obviously Rush Limbaugh is (and always has been) a snake-oil salesman who suckered us all.
