I started listening to Rush when I was three years old and he was my hero. But I just can't look at him the same way now. He breaks my heart. If he had only ever criticized Bill Clinton on economic issues, I'd be able to trust him more than I do now.

Or maybe if he hadn't made fun of Ted Kennedy's philandering. But when you pretend you have some right to call someone else on their treatment of women or morality and your own behavior is terrible, your credibility goes out the window. And to have to deal with that AND his softness on abortion issues AND his rambling on and on about sports on a political talk show...well...it isn't for me. If I want to listen to a hypocrite, I'll listen to Michael Savage. He doesn't talk about sports, he's not too soft and he has an interesting accent.

I don't know, I guess I'm good at compartmentalizing....but I can still listen to Rush, his personal plunderings aside, and be amazed at what I learn. I really don't get bogged down with what he DOES. Because he still speaks the truth.

"If I want to listen to a hypocrite, I'll listen to ..."

I've heard some say that they don't go to church because there are too many hypocrites there. Apparently there aren't any at the supermarket or the other places that they frequent.

Even Jesus, himself, was condemned by the "good people" for hanging out with eeeevil sinners.

How funny.
