Rush had passion when he was still in his ascendancy, but I think he’s now flatlined on politics... kind of like kids eating too much candy after the Halloween door-to-door sugar engorgement: he’s just burnt-out from too many years of it.

I can sort of understand that, but, geez, political commentary is his profession... and he's made millions of $$ from it.

I've been a political junkie for decades... I never tire of it. It's actually hard for me to understand how he could be burned out from politics at this point. Especially with Trump in the White House right now.

Well now I understand why WTIC AM wants to keep it local.

“I’ve been a political junkie for decades... I never tire of it. It’s actually hard for me to understand how he could be burned out from politics at this point.”

For many of us politics is what fascinates us.

We couldn’t wait to vote. We volunteer on campaigns. We donate money to our candidates. We follow politics like most follow sports.

Let’s look at Rush’s known history. He didn’t register to vote until 1988 when he was 37. He says that he has never donated to a candidate. If he ever volunteered on a campaign he has never spoken of it, and no one has written about rubbing shoulders with Rush while stuffing envelopes.

Rush’s loves are/were football, golf, cigars, radio and being financially successful. I don’t doubt that his political opinions are genuine, I just don’t think that he would be doing anything about them if he hadn’t found financial success by voicing them on the air.
