I like football, so it doesn’t bother me when Rush goes on about it, but I can see how it would bug people who don’t care for it.
I don’t think Rush is a backbencher by any means...Levin used to use that term for Beck, before they made up, or whatever.
But I couldn’t believe it today when I heard Rush say someone had been “coronated” (not a word) instead of “crowned”. I thought, well, I guess the dumbing down of America is complete.
Rush himself said he wasn’t thinking clearly today because of H.R.’s death. I’m sure he misspoke more than once, but that’s unavoidable, especially when you’re on the air 15 hours a week.
Actually, I do love football, but I don’t tune into Rush’s show to listen to 2 hours of a deflated football scandal. Fifteen minutes or so would have been sufficient. Football is a pastime. Current events have an effect on us, our children and our children’s children. They’re weightier matters that have a bearing on whether we can preserve the Republic that was bequeathed to us.
