Rush is a puppet mouthpiece of the GOPe. Nothing more then a talking bobblehead.
He seems to have become a ‘’talking bobblehead’’ near around the time he got busted for prescription drug abuse if I recall correctly. Up until then, he actually had something worthwhile to say, and in fact, was considered to be one of the most dangerous men in the United States because he was so outspoken about government corruption. He was in fact, quite a LOT like Trump, himself.
Everybody thought Rush was quite taken of himself, and the politicians did NOT want him speaking the same sort of sentiments we hear from Trump, today.
After he was busted, he toned it down a LOT. So much so that there was no longer any point at all in listening to what he had to say because he was sounding like all the other talking heads.
He used to be RIGHT ON about things, and now he can’t even seem to spot a liar and con artist.
It’s a huge disappointment.
Rush has been beaten into submission by the mainstream media. Unlike FR or Drudge Rush is dependent on liberal controlled radio stations and advertisers. As the culture has become more leftist and political correctness has taken over Rush has found himself under fire for stuff that would have been overlooked back in 1988.
The first hit was losing his sports commentator job at ESPN. The second was the manufactured controversy over Sandra Fluke. That one cost him advertisers and the rumor is if he hadn't backed down it would have ended his program.
Rush doesn't have the integrity to go down fighting, so he gave in. The drug bust didn't help, it showed that he's weak willed. Knowing that Rush's enemies keep chipping away. I know he's lost some big stations since the Fluke flap.
