I apologize if you misunderstood my posts. My only point, there was, and is, 50 years of pent-up general cussedness at conservative thought - which is the majority of Americans, being excluded from the national debate. So, it wasn't surprising that a good talk show host cleaned up. Not to me anyway. Consider that he capitalized on AM radio - a moribund medium before Rush came along if there was one, and caused much consternation amongst "liberals", even though they had/have a lock on major television outlets, academia, hollywood, local and state governments, etc. etc.
Our post must have passed in the ether. I did miss the orginal point, but would agree, the time was ripe for someone with Rush's talents and abilities, and ready to sieze the opportunity when presented. I guess my point back was, there are not many like that, and we are lucky we had Rush to lead the way out of the wilderness
Good? Rush is more than good. He's in a league of his own. I've listened to "Talk Radio' for over 30 years. No one comes close.
Articulate, informative, rational and above all entertaining.
