[The kings dead]

And not confrontationally.

One can be direct and probing without being confrontational ... and I suspect Rush knows that. I think either he's awed by power, or he puts on kid gloves so he can get other RINO guests in the future.

As an early listener, I wished that Rush would go toe to toe with The Nameless One. He was so terrific on him, he helped me keep my sanity during The Nameless One's reign of dissolute idiocy.

But then as I got to "know" Rush better, I actually came to hope he wouldn't. I knew he'd cave, he'd kiss up, he'd go soft. I think (being charitable) that part of it is his upbringing. To Rush, it just wouldn't be "classy."

But part is that he's all talk, no guts.
