Avid Rush listener here during Clinton years. When he became a bush cheerleader is topped listening. During obama / Trump i would tune in occasionally here and there. But now i deeply miss him. I always took it for granted he was “there” on the radio anytime i wanted to listen. Now he’s not. But yeah, the Bush years were a rough go for Rush having to defend that turd.
I remember tuning in the day Trump came down the escalator. Rush knew this was a political earthquake and seemed really distracted by it on his show. He still wasn’t on the trump train, but he knew. He knew.
Another Rush episode that stands out to me was when Dick(h###d) Cheney called in to defend G W MORON’s choice of Harriet Miers for SCOTUS because there was so much pushback from conservatives over it. Dick(h###d) thought calling into Rush would take care of it. Dick(h###d) didn’t defend Miers, he just told Rush’s audience to “trust us” with the SCOTUS pick. She’s Bush’ attorney... that’s all you scumbag main street conservatives need to know.
