Rush Since Hiatus

[Allen In Texas Hill Country]

I have listened to Rush since the days of the dog in the New York subway and even before that. Something has changed in his demeanor. I find myself toying with the idea of not listening to him anymore. Not really, but again something has changed. Maybe a little bit or more than a little bit. Just heard a caller refer to him as a 'new' Rush. Am I whining?

YES....

[SaveTheChief]

I dunno, but his current caller is a hag.

[flashbunny]

Yes, you are whining.

[mgist]

The first couple of days he sounded like a different man. I couldn't quite figure out why. Now he is sounding like his old self. His ideas are on target and he can still battle them all "with half his brain tied behind his neck."

[riri]

I like him so much better since he has returned. e is a little more angry but that is what was missing from the show, IMO.

I couldn't listen to the golf talk, the name dropping, ad nauseum.

[Mudcat]

Of course he's different: addiction treatment is a total life change, because the substance abuse addiction by definition had a negative impact on every aspect of a person's life. Removing that negative influence from one's life, and the healing process that follows, should cause a noticeable change in the individual.

[Lucky2]

Rush is more humble but more concise and to the point than before. I like him better than ever now. Yes, you are whinning!

[WackyKat]

Don't you think taking high doses of hydrocodone and oxycontin on a daily basis affects someone's behavior?

How could you expect him to be the same after he got off the stuff?

[RightWhale]

Am I whining?

Everybody changes. Sometimes it is for the better, but usually it is part of the long, gradual descent into senescence and strained peas.

[SaveTheChief]

Agreed. Rush is at his best when he is angry about something. This is what it is going to take before we can turn around the PC, pro-homosexual, anti-Christian movements that have plagued our society for the past few years. This is how our country was formed -- When enough people are angry to the point that they aren't going to take it anymore, then progress is made.

I've had just the opposite reaction. I had decided not to listen to him anymore because of his hiatus and the reasons therfore, but decided to give him one more chance. I must say, since he's been back I think he is much better, less in the ass of the Republican party and more like his old pre-1994 days. All in all I'd say his drug abuse was clearly effecting the quality of his show.

[maica]

His brain is still ticking along - he deduced that the women callers were Hillarys. Brilliantly logical!

[JoJo Gunn]

I'm not one to approve of saying just anything, but I sense a seminar caller blitz. When Rush goes to a break I sometimes flip stations and listen to Liddy, and he had a woman make a comment about words he's used. This is all within a twenty minute period. Coincidence?

[11th Earl of Mar]

I have not heard his since he returned. But over the last few years he got too full of himself for my taste.

[jedimack]

I AGREE WITH BOTH THE HAGS WHO HAVE CALLED TO POLITELY ASK HIM TO CLEAN UP HIS LAUGUAGE. I DO NOT ALLOW MY CHILDREN TO USE THE WORDS HE HAS BEEN USING.

[CovenBuster]

He still Rush to me. I love his "testicles in a lockbox" depiction of how Hildebeast controls her interviews and am LOLing at these whiny women calling in to fuss about his "language."

[1Old Pro]

He's even better.....going after Republicans who act like liberals, good for him.

[Captain Kirk]

The "healing process?" You have been watching too much Oprah.

[funkywbr]

I like his angrier AND FUNNIER new mode too, hopefully that doesn't make him want a chill pill though!~}
