Actually, no. I care about Rush so much that any desperate story of him reaching into a toilet bowl at a high class restuarant to retrieve the blueys he dropped would just have me cringing in horror at his plight.
What I think his listeners REQUIRE to trust him again, when he gets back, is an honest spilling of his guts about how he felt deceiving us. You see, we thought he was basically always up front with us. We don't actually need to know how our talk show hosts live in their private lives, but Rush actually BROUGHT US IN with his descriptions. I think he owes us the confessions and apologies of a good friend, not as a broadcaster but as a trustworthy fellow soul.
Some of us don't feel the need to demand he grovel and give us all the juicy details. I can imagine he feels lousy and ashamed.
An apology, I agree with. An accounting of which details of the story are true/false/something-in-between has been promised. That is all I require of the man.
