You mistake me as anti-Rush. I’m not. And I tune in at least once a week. He’s good at inside baseball. Just not a good spokesman to the uninitiated. RWR had that nailed-down.
Well, Rush is not RWR - Rush is Rush .. but Rush believes more in RWR than anybody that I’ve ever known or met.
I listen every day. Rush knows more about what’s really going on than anybody else.
“But he’s not particularly deep, and shouldn’t be the voice of the party. That much I’ll concede.”
You aren’t anti-Rush, but you say “Rush does go off on tangents at times, and is frequently over-the-top” and he “is expected to be bombastic, God bless him.”
Errmmm...no.
He’s expected to be right, which he is 99.6% of the time. The Sullivan Group has been logging this for many, many years.
“...I tune in at least once a week.”
That’s your problem. You don’t know Rush. You don’t know him, at all.
BTW, before 1976, RWR was “just an actor.” During 1976 and 1980, the left and the GOPe reminded us of Bonzo. My point is that the road wasn’t always easy for RWR, either. Both speak over the media, though. That’s a gift...to us...if you will listen.
