[C. Edmund Wright]

Going back 20 years or more, I've often thought it curious that Rush -- contrary to the practice of other radiotalkers -- almost never thanks his guest hosts or even acknowledges them.

Well I have two major problems with that statement. First, it's false....in fact, he almost always does it after pretending his staff has made him do it. Its show craft.

But more to the point - Rush is the one DOING THE FAVOR here and the subs are GETTING THE FAVOR DONE FOR THEM. And they're paid. And they'd kill for the opportunity. It makes careers. It made Hannity's career period. Made many others...though some destroyed their own. They should THANK him (and many do in fact).

I can’t remember hearing it more than maybe a couple of times since I started listening back in 1992.

But kudos to you if you’re a more attentive and careful listener than I have been in the last few years.

(And BTW, Prager is so much more instructive and original that I listen to him increasingly during Rush’s time slot. But at least, Rush is not yet as boring as Mark Davis!)
