“Never thought I’d ever hear myself say that about Rush, but it does appear that he’s become one of the elites now.”
Rush always aspired to be one of the financially elite, he’s never made much of a pretense otherwise. And he’s certainly among the elite radio talents.
But while politics has been his vehicle for achieving his dreams, it’s telling that he never bothered to vote until he was 38 years old. Which means he even neglected to vote for Reagan.
I suspect that a large number of us here at FR not only voted at the first chance we got, but that we also volunteered on campaigns. It’s what you do when politics is your passion. Somehow I don’t think it ever really was Rush’s passion. Football is. Golf. Making money and rubbing shoulders with the financial elites. But really being passionate about conservative politics? I don’t think so. It’s his gig, and he identifies with conservatives, although he’s really more of an “achiever” than a conservative.
So true. Rush was so happy to broadcast his association with the Rockefellers.
