Back during the days of the Clinton Administration I called Rush's 800# to speculate that an unexplainable increase of the interest rate was an attempt by the Fed to draw people out of the stock market and back to banks for the express purpose of increasing banking liquidity ratios. A few days later Rush parroted the same line as his own idea. That day he became more of an entertainer and less of an analytical talk show host. I tune in to his program now knowing that most of what he proclaims as original thought has been Bidenized. He still a pretty funny guy, though.

I agree but, of course, I disagree.

You're right that Rush, et al, are not truly original thinkers. In truth, no one is. I, for one, freely admit that nothing I post here or advance in any other forum is truly original with me. What I do (in a small way) and what Rush does is to weed through the mountains of information that comes in and pick out the bits that make sense. His talent is that he is very good at picking out what is good from what is crap (generally) from the avalanche that he is faced with.

That is no small talent.

Having said that, it would be nice if he gave credit. Nice catch.
