Rush used to say stuff like "I have faith in the American people, that come election day, they are going to do the right thing", etc. Haven't heard that this time. Now he says "Voters are voters. They are who they are, and you've got to go out and get them."

Well, I don't want to be harsh here, but I knew old El Rushbo very well in the early 70's when he was disc jockey Jeff Christie for radio stations WIXZ and KQV here in Pittsburgh, sometimes even finding myself at a couple of parties where he was also there. (If you think Clinton was funny saying that "he didn't inhale", you should have seen Rush/Jeff) LOL.

He was a young 21 or 22 year old and then, and I was about five years older. He was a very nice, sweet, but incredibly insecure fellow. As he behaves now, you might not recognize the gentle and good fellow he was.

Nevertheless, I must say I don't care what Rush Limbaugh has to say about much of anything these days. He's just part of the problem. His self-agrandizing, sanctimonious manner is absurd and hurtful to conservative causes in the end (jmo). His continual ridicule of the opposition is a bad joke. It's "conservative" spokesmen like he who contributed to these election loses. Sean Vannity is even worse as a self-righeous spokesman......... at least Rush is somewhat funny at times and has a degree of intelligence. Vannity is just like fingernails on the blackboard.

****

Put Mark Steyn on three hours a day/five days a week and the conservatives just may have a chance in future elections.

But, that won't happen. Rush is a tool for the media ...... and he loves it.

It's all theatre. Enjoy it.

Put Mark Steyn on for three hours a day and we'd elect him

Too bad he's Canadian...
