It’s funny about Newt. Rush has a shtick that he’s arrogant, but in reality, Rush is not; he’s very down to earth, humble, and quiet. He knows his place in the world (all loaned by the Almighty) and he seems secure in his skin. But Newt tries to appear the humble scholar yet BETRAYS heavy arrogance as well as intense insecurity. You definitely get the impression he’d follow a flashing thong to utter disgrace (and we know he did).
I think Rush is brilliant. I think he's the most entertaining man on radio. I think he's a hero. But I do think he takes the arrogant shtick too far. We now have to win over ordinary citizens and women who are put off by this sort of thing. I'm not saying that we need to appease them but stop giving them ammunition to cast Conservatives as evil. It's crunch time now. That said I'm proud of Rush and his behavior lately.
