So, how many of you have Limbaugh ties and scarfs. Sometimes I wear one of them and ask people what is special about them. Sadly, no one knows Limbaugh’s bold red, blue and yellow motifs. Remember members of congress wearing Rush ties?
For noon to three, my iphone is tuned to Prager.
Rush was at this worst during 8 years of GWB, but he wound up being a Trump supporter. Rush would have remained popular. He didn’t change his style like Howard Stern did.
The real problem is that very few of them are radio guys like Rush was.
I like Beck (who is also a radio guy as opposed to a guy who came from something else.) I like Levin. Dennis Prager always has something interesting to say. Rob Carson is fun.
Hannity is an echo, and his habit of double-subject sentences drives this old English major up a wall.
No one is Rush, but there are some good talents out there if you care to listen. And we have to keep carrying the torch.
I like Beck as well. We have Bongino to fill the 12-3 time slot. I like him but I can’t listen to 3 hours of ranting.
Rush certainly was a one of a kind. He is missed and that says a lot about a person.
Bongino is pretty intense. Rush was more of an entertainer.
Like Rush, Beck is a former DJ. He’s a radio guy, rather than a guy who came into talk radio from a career doing something completely unrelated.
The alternative mdia has sometimes helped move the window.
Partly, it’s that a bunch of people jumped into Rush’s time slot — and a couple who were already there got a higher profile. (Prager, for instance.)
Once Rush was out of the picture, Bongino jumped in, then Clay and Buck, Rob Carson, and others. So even if there were a “new Rush Limbaugh,” he would have a much harder time accumulating a Rush-sized audience.
I love Charlie Kirk, but don’t listen like I did a rush. Here in AZ we have the conservative circus with James T Harris and he is awesome. A conservative black man who tells it like it is and gets good local people to come on the show and share important news that we never hear on tv.
Rush was funny. It’s something no one seems to notice. He got America laughing at liberals. Who do we have that’s upbeat and funny? Mark Davis makes the cut in the upbeat side. His prayers on the show I can do without.
