“I’m guessing the no-voting thing was during the years he was an AM radio jock and an ad flunky with the sports team”
Those would be the years. I’m the same age as Rush but I managed to vote in every election, including of course twice for Reagan. And I managed to volunteer on campaigns as well, something he never speaks of because he never did it. He found time for fantasy football but not grassroots politics.
He isn’t stupid by any means if you can discount number of wives, drugs and what not. That aside, a very intelligent and excusing man quick to the uptake and preemptive forefront.
In the end, too many (far too many) are beginning to see him for the opportune person he is, and he is scrambling to rehabilitate that erstwhile image - rather ineffectively in my opinion. The maestro does indeed have no ideological clothes, frankly. Reputation, dwindling audience and thus far placated sponsors help him. But that shall soon out come this November. You can rest assured he’s socked enough cash away to wile away his remaining hours in self-awarded ‘broadcast excellence.’
