Mega dittos. I didn't listen to talk radio in the 90s, so my first exposure to Rush was also thru his TV show. My favorite bit is he'd play some clip of some liberal saying goofy liberal stuff and do reaction video to the nonscene the leftist wackjob was spewing. His facial expressions were hilarious.
My dad was the one who listened to Rush religiously, my mom never paid attention, so the opposite of Impy I guess (sadly my dad had about the same short lifespan that Rush had). My dad introduced me to Rush through his books like The Way Things Ought to Be, and the Paul Shaklin parodies from Rush's radio show, which were out on cassette and CD at the time. Sadly, it seems most of that stuff was discontinued a long time ago, as I've only heard updates about Rush from his radio show lately.
After Al Franken came out with that anti-Rush book, I felt Rush should have refuted it (another conservative did and wrote a response book called 'Al Franken Is Buck-Toothed Moron'), but it seemed Rush just concreted on radio full time after that. The mid-to-late-90s were Rush at his peek, even the 'Gus Baker' parody on Beavis & Butthead was embraced by Rush and played on his show. I can't imagine a snowflake liberal being willing to do that. They played David S. Zucker's "Michael Malone" parody for Michael Moore, and Moore simply denied he saw any resemblance of the character to himself.
She’s heartbroken.
I’m glad Trump gave him that medal.
Nothing Rush could’ve done with a book would’ve topped Franken’s committing political suicide. That was glorious.
