I am not criticizing their income potential or method, power to them. I wish I could do what he does.
I am a Rush listener but have seen over the last few years a more grandiose format evolving. I like the energy he gives, but the extreme moments of ranting I can do without. It puts him on the level of Franken or some other emotional talking head. We win through constant and firm pressure and the truth as not delivered by MSM. Rush is like my opinion of the President, I disagree with what he says sometimes but still listen from 11-2 when I can, but he should do the same. The office has a certain amount of respect that Slick Willy dealt away, but GW has brought back. Disagree or not, but do not go on the air or in writing and criticize him by calling him uninformed, losing touch with his base, or accusing him of cronyism etc... for doing what he was elected to do. That just weakens the foundation he works from.
I feel that Rush and Ann probably voted for him so evidently they had some level of "trust" as well. If they helped elect him and felt that they had some individual influence over him more so than any other American than shame on them.
As for Ann I have never liked her or her opinions. Getting pies thrown at you does not equate with risking getting out into the political arena and letting the voters, not the advertising execs and consumer trends decide on your platform stance. When I hear her come on I turn the volume down because I can guarantee she will start yelling right after the introduction and I do not value her opinion anyway.

Then you appear to prefer a monarchy, where no one can criticize the king. I would assume then that you are a Bushbot, whatever Bush says or does you will go along with, and never disagree in any public forum with him. Just like people do in dictatorships. Whisper amongst themselves, but never publicly disagree.
