I’ve listened to Rush off and on since 1992. Started with his TV show.
I can remember when he had Chris Matthews guest host. I also remember when he told his listeners the FBI was going to get Hillary and how Comey was an honorable man.
I don’t think I listen more than an hour or two per month these days and it’s generally when I want to hear his Baghdad Bob impersonation for how the GOP screwed us today.
Too many of the ‘Conservative’ media is just farming their listeners for cash. “We can defeat the dems and if you’ll buy my latest book for 29.99 I’ll tell you how.”
Conservatism for sale.
I was a daily listener from the time I found him looking for Gulf War news in 1990 when Saddam invaded Kuwait.
I was in and out of the truck so I didn’t catch it all, but he always struck me as an entertainer first.
He used to be a lot funnier.
I’m not driving every day anymore, so it’s rare that I tune in.
You are right, he carried the water for the Bush League Republicans until it nearly cost him his audience, he has been astute enough to appear to be on the side of the citizens and the rule of law.
