Rush has turned his show into mostly an infomercial to sell his kids books. It’s really sad to see.
You don't think it's important work he's doing?
We may be going through a low tide news cycle. There’s not a lot of big stuff to talk about besides the pilot who lost his plane near Malaysia, or the President who lost his nerve near Ukraine. The closer we get toward November, when careers and national momentum will be decided, the more big and interesting stuff there will be to discuss. Sometimes, I wonder how Rush, Sean and others do it every weekday, producing and performing a three hour talk show worth listening to. It’s true, Rush is indulging himself and using his show to sell his books, but, then it is his show. One thing that makes me happy, not just tolerant of his Book-A-Thon ways, is that Rush has children calling in and talking to him in clear and articulate ways. This is not just cutesy,wootsy stuff, the kids are truly into this book. These are the future conservatives of our party. Sort of like when my pastor takes a lot of time talking to the children every Sunday at 11am Mass. These will be the future of our church. By all means, encourage their interests!!
