I catch Rush sometimes during my drive to work and back, but other than that I never go out of my way to listen to him. Nevertheless, I can certainly appreciate his political acumen and his upbeat personality.
As for his being a "water boy" for the Republicans, I think that is a red herring. Yes, he supports conservative Republicans, but I often hear him chastising McCain and other RINOs.
When I first heard Savage-Weiner calling Rush demeaning names, I almost couldn't believe what I was hearing. If he has that much hatred for Rush, just imagine what he must think about any liberal Democrat!
What is painfully obvious is that Savage-Weiner is green with envy of Rush for being widely recognized as the standard bearer for conservative talk radio. Savage-Weiner is truly a midget among men in that arena -- and that is obvious to everyone except the followers of his deranged personality cult.
