Crap, you're right: except that I don't think it was Rush on his own show, and not during campaign season: I think it was from a few years ago, of Rush being interviewed by some other show: so that other show would have distribution rights.

Interesting point, though.

No, I’m almost certain the clip is from a recent segment of Rush’s show. I remember hearing it live, maybe a week ago.

You may be right about the Cruz campaign obtaining the clip from another source. Could be that Rush made the same, or similar statements, on another broadcast.

Either way, I find it odd, hearing Rush singing Ted’s praises in a campaign commercial.
