Rush is a great speaker, and very quick on his feet (Hannity in particular is easily stumped by any live caller - he needs a teleprompter as well as someone to read it to him); I also bear in mind that Rush has a few ex-wives, so I separate his political/fiscal consevatism from his social conservatism.
Over all, the world is a better place because of Rush; I wouldn’t say the same for Fox.
Rush is "all career". He is the show. Considering how much his service to our country consumes him, yes, there has been some unfortunate sacrifice in his private life.
I too used to think of Hannity as a lightweight but, he is really doing his homework lately. He can get in there and throw the facts around with the best of them and is doing so now.
