I've tuned in, every now and again, over the ensuing years, only to find that Rush had gotten worse. This incesant Bush Bashing, is boring, counter productive, and isn't doing Rush any good either. He has more people complaing about this, than he has comlmentary E-mails. He hates this, and lost it, on air, several times in the past few weeks. His bloated ego can't take it. The emperor has NO clothes at all, now.
Unlike fringers and political naifs here, Rush actually does know that NO president is Emperor , with unilateral / complete power to do whatever he so desires to do. There are THREE branches of government, and the president doesn't make laws, nor is he able to repeal whatever was done prior to his administration, my saying so. So, this new act, that Rush has instigated, is a losing one, for him, as well as for those few ( who used to hate him / call him names here ) who are now suddenly championing him.
O'Reilly has NOTHING at all to do with this. Rush is a lazy man, who is pompous, arrogant, out of the political loop ( Newtie is no longer feeding him stuff ) , and long ago lost the " fire in the belly " , which made him not only interesting to listen to, but made those who listened to him, feel part of a group of similar , right thinking people. FR, and the FOX CABLE NEWS channel, have made Rushs's show , and Rush, far less relivant and important.
Without Rush, the Dems would have kept control in '94 -- and since I have a business -- I'd probably be in some gulag.
Rush is human. He's been on the air for over 10 years and I think he has lost a step and is getting a touch of burnout. But I still listen, although I prefer it when Walter Williams subs.
Rush is wrong on Dubya but that doesn't make him some freedom-hating lefty.
