Rush on McGreevy: Sympathy for living a lie
vanity | August 13, 2004 | Vanity

Posted on 08/13/2004 9:53:21 AM PDT by fightinJAG

Okay, please don't flame me. I'm honestly interested in what freepers think about this.

Ever since Rush came back from rehab and started talking about "living a lie" and "not being able to make other people happy" and all that, I've had the uneasy feeling that Rush had "discovered" something more about himself than he was letting on.

Today, listening to Rush as he talked about his empathy for McGreevy, it seemed inevitable to wonder if Rush's empathy (and, please, if you did not hear Rush's comments, realize it's difficult to assess the tone and emotion with which he delivered them) wasn't tied back to his own "living a lie" struggles.

Yes, it would be easy to think that the "lie" was his drug addiction, but . . . I'm posting this because it really seemed as though Rush might be warming up to his own bombshell (whatever that might be).

His commentary was so passionate, in a personal, not political way, that I even wondered if he was (unconsciously) seeing if he could start a thread like this, in order to see what the speculation might be and what the reaction to that speculation might be.

Who heard Rush's opening commentary on McGreevy and what was your reaction/thoughts? Thanks. I'd be interested to know.

Outstanding analysis of Rush's comments, his relationship with Marta, etc.

I have wondered lately if he's got something going with "Dawn" who is on his radio staff. He comments frequently on how she is responding to his remarks, etc. Once in awhile, it just seems like he's flirting with her.

Whatever...

Either that, or he's been fooling around with a nice Jewish girl from Manhattan." HER ??

No, he said "nice", so that's not it.

I have no idea if I'm correct--who can know?

I haven't even thought about what's going on with him now in terms of women. I'm imagining he's sworn them off indefinitely, lol.

Dawn is the token Liberal on the staff, and every time he has a particularly precient rant, he checks with her to see if (a) she gets it; and/or (b) she's turned from the dark side.
