I do think Rush appreciates being respected by those he respects-- that's why I think he was so hurt by the betrayal of guys like Tom Jackson who pretended he was a good guy to his face and tried to get him kicked out behind his back on ESPN (to think I used to like those guys!)...

What bugs me about Fred and the Weekly Standard (I expect this kind of thing from Mort, he's not conservative, he's a mostly sane left-liberal) is that they could profit from engaging with a mind as brilliant and well trained as Rush, just as they profit from engaging with, say, William F. Buckley. If they did, maybe they wouldn't make (giving them the benefit of the doubt)thoughtless comments about income redistribution as easily as they did on BWB (it was about Warren Buffett giving his money to Bill Gates).

Juan was definitely at his worst on O'Reilly with Laura! Between him and that jackass who likened that Hispanic woman to the KKK because she favored legal rather than illegal immigration, Laura must have been this close to reaming them the way she would have on her own show.

I am not going to dispute anything you said:

But, Rush mentioned last week that he met with President Bush in the Oval Office a couple of weeks ago...and I have heard Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld on his show..

I have also heard Bill Gertz of the Washington Times on his show...so IMHO..he has the respect of the top handful of people in the whole world...so, to heck with ESPN, or the Weekly Standard.

I think that all those Libs like Juan and Beckel and Mort know what is going on,but they are tied to the Demoncrat Party and have to pander and play act for the Wackos in the Dem base. Every once in a while they will throw the Conservatives a bone like they are coming over from the dark side, but they quickly jump back to cash their paychecks. Are they prostituting themselves? You betcha,just like Trent Lott,and most of the Rino Republicans.
