“...but he needs to decide who he is...”
No, he is what his listeners in their minds make him out to be. He takes all sides of the difficult issues so as to never be pinned down on his positions. He calls himself America’s Anchorman at the same time as calling himself defacto head of the republican party - all tongue in cheek, of course, or he’s just quoting what somebody else has said about him.
Today for example, he predicted a win by 15 to 20% in his first hour, then by the last hour has changed that prediction to 10 to 15%. He accused Gingrich supporters of being foremost - Romney haters. Plenty of subtle anti-Gingrich stuff, pro-Santorum stuff, soft criticism of Romney stuff, but in the last hour he went through all sorts of contortions talking about all the emails he gets with everybody all mad at him for being so hard on their particular candidate, therefore; Rush has everybody hating him - don’t you see! He hasn’t taken sides - he’s nuetral! To top off the theme that he isn’t attacking Gingrich and really still backs the anti-establishment wing of the party he even found an MSNBC quote where Michael Steele no less, lumps Limbaugh in with Governor Sarah Palin in some way. We are now supposed to be relieved - Rush is still one of us! Rush still has his street cred!
The last thing Rush Limbaugh would ever do is be serious, or a threat to the existing order. He’s an entertainer, but a sneaky one. Conservatives need to monitor Limbaugh, not believe in him.
