"Ain't nobody I know perfect."
A lot of people here seem to think Rush is -- a lot of people on DU think Hillery is -- some people are a LOT more evil then others ( wonder where I am in the list ? )
I don't think he's perfect. I think the prescription drug thing proved that, but we just can't discount all the good he's done for media in general. Fifteen years ago, this forum didn't exist and there wasn't the outlet for conservatism we have today. Rush is part of that and the essay was a thank you to Rush for doing that good work. It appears that he's fixed the problem.
And you're right, some people are evil. And if I'm not mistaken, I'd put you on the list of human beings, which means you have good in you. Despite what other people say. :) HA! Just kidding!
