Rush is such a phony.
The persona Rush has always had is fake. The Rush Limbaugh he plays on the air WOULD NEVER HAVE EATEN A MINT WAFER with Chuck U Schumer. He sure as hell wouldnt have been seduced into wining, dining, and doing Chucks bidding. The day he defended himself about changing his content to please Schumer was the day it became clear to me.
Rush was very energetically defending himself that day. He lied, dissembled, and, worst of all, he was ANGRY at us. He read our comments online / to him during the first commercial break, and came back on air and called those of us not believing his BS excuse for dining with Chuck Schumer, HATERS. We made him successful beyond his wildest dreams. We defended him, protected him, and made him very wealthy. But yeah, we are haters for not wanting him to change his tune on air to help the Cabal in DC. (He was asked to stop using the word amnesty for the amnesty bill they were trying to ram through over us, and the NYT provided the proof that Rush did so after that dinner)
Broke my heart and I stopped believing in him that very day.
Me too! I haven't listened to him since.
One thing I have to hand him though is ability as a "snake oil" salesman for fooling so many people (including myself) for so many years to his financial benefit.
