I dunno, Rush seemed to think this nothing burger was important, today.
When are people going to wake up, Rush, the $500 dollar cigar smoking, pay a gay singer $1,000,000 to sing a song, Rubio is “Full Throated Conservative”, is a GOPe, Rino Puke apologist. He just does it in a very duplicitous, backhanded manner.
I listen to Rush once in a blue moon. Sometimes just to hear him espouse some earthshaking political theory that I’ve figured out on my own from the same source materials (e.g. internet) that he uses, just to see if I’ve guess him right. Half the time he loses me just because he’s mambling on about what he’s going to mamble on about after he goes to the audio soundbites but whoops running late back with your calls right after this beeeedooop!
In other words - predictable. Just not quite as much so as Hannity, who perfected the Marco Rubot tape playback unit.
Unless you like an echo chamber where you can hear what you’re supposed to think, who needs ‘em? Rush invented a new media format and saved AM radio but it’s a different era now. We can get our own information from FR and other similar sources and few people under age 50 know what AM radio is, or care. I look for Rush to retire within 2 years.
Rush is a sellout shadow of himself in the early 90s. Everytime I tune in, he isn’t normally very insightful or interesting anymore to me. I think Cougar has lost the edge. He was Topgun, now he’s thrown his wings across the table.
Sticking with Eric Erickson was a big clue. As was his Rubio dance.
Rush paid Elton John, and John donated the money to charity. Fine with me. I don’t care if he smokes 1M$ cigars. But I do agree there us something duplicitous going on. It has to be obvious to Rush that someone set him up for the NYTs piece. I’d like to know who.
