Michael.... your envy is showing.
Rush may not be able to recite Plato from memory, but he's DAMN sure good at what he does. Kind of like a pro athlete who skipped college, went straight to the pros, and never looked back. Rush's grasp of economics is better than 99.9% of the general population, and better than all 535 elected representatives of the people who make our laws.
I've listened to both Rush and Savage, and I'll take Rush any day. Plus, Rush is sane.
The difference is Limbaugh is a commentator voicing an opinion, savage is a merchant hawking a product.
