I fail to find any "reason" for Rush to expend great portions of his alloted time on stupid, meaningless social-garbage polls that are nothing but numbers and yawns....and/or, like today, blabbering away about some gender "research" findings by nutty liberal professors with nothing to do. He does a lot of this lightweight "reporting" lately....and I write more in sorrow than anger because it's getting boring, and I get sick of listening to it.

When I tuned him back in today, alas, he was again expounding on his "rich people" oft-repeated mantra.....and he kept hammering that same nail over and over till the end.

The first and last fifteen minutes of Rush's programs are virtually worthless as many of you have noticed......just unimportant social drivel commentary plus commercials.

This is not even good business. I worked in advertising and I know that the beginning segments of radio and TV talk programs should grab the audience right away. Some hot stuff should come first to snare folks into not turning the dial.

Sadly, today'a first segment was a little dab of football, which was of some interest.....but then came a lengthy autopsy of a worthless "study" on men gazing at women which went on and on and on.

Rush should get into some raw meat and potatos, inside stuff, up-to-date news, critical things going on in DC or overseas....right off the bat. And if he want to add a little dopey social-commentary gravy, fine with me....but quit pooping away the entire first segment and then into the next segment on junk we don't really tune in to hear.

Rush can go into periods of laziness, lack of creative presentations and repetitiveness (he's only human) but he has a highly-paid experienced production staff that should be feeding him topical and important stuff to keep his audience's attention.

He's repeating his favorite rants over and over again, which is fine...if he'd only spend equal time on the IRS, Benghazi, Obama's destruction of the Constitution (in detail), the GOP-elites wrecking-crew, Iran, religion under attack, no jobs, outrageous spending....he barely touches on these things in any detail whatsoever while he goes on and on and on about women-gazing....and I for one would like the benefit of his insight on the more glaring issues of the day.

I'M SICK OF LISTENING TO THE RESULTS OF MULTITUDINOUS POLLS (which are only snapshops in a very abbreviated time period, anyhow, as well as being a cushy gold mine for polling companies of all kinds and creeds)..POLLS WHICH BEING PARSED AND DISSECTED OVER AND OVER AGAIN EVERY DAY AND NIGHT ON EVERY RADIO SHOW AND TV PROGRAM ! Give us a break from that onslaught, Rush!

I've listened to Rush virtually every day for over twenty years. He's my mentor and inspiration. I hope he remains that way for the next twenty years. I also hope he and/or someone on his staff reads this....and I'm sure they do.

When Rush is on his game, there's no one like him for brilliance and logic.

Your whole analysis here is exactly right. I hope Rush or his people reads your critique and takes heed.

You know, before your post, I have been thinking almost the same thing. I used to listen to every minute...now I don’t care if I miss most of the show. I tune in and hear crap about sports or polls or sexist stuff and I automatically tune out. I noticed that when he has Mark Steyn on, that I really try to make sure I’m listening because Steyn is all meat and potatoes...and he’s very funny. Rush has been doing alot of unimportant fluff for quite a while now...I think I listen more now from just loyalty.
