Oh, I don't think he will lose his audience. I just think that any movement into the mainstream, which would have been good for conservatism, is probably a lost opportunity now.

Yes, he will probably get to comment on Fox. But I doubt we will see him outside that Forum, and not that often.

And I don't now how often he will be asked to play in charity golf tournaments any more, at least until the legal question is solved.

It is just such an unfortunate thing.

Also, where WAS Marta?

Also, where WAS Marta?

FWIW It was when he became distracted with Marta that his program became >slightly< less passionate to my ears. Not that marriage was a bad thing, it's just that sometimes it tempers a man into comlacency.

God bless him for what he's done for conservatism and our country...no one can ever take that away from him.

Perhaps the best way to look at the situation is to take the take of "What does not kill me, makes me stronger." If anyone can emerge from this situation with class, dignity and stronger than before, it's Rush.

Perhaps a prayer thread or list of FReeper signatures supporting him would be in order. We could compose it, sign it and forward it to him via email or hard copy.

Just a thought.

That's what I keep asking myself.
Where was Marta...how in the world could she not know????

I too am disappointed....

..he worked very hard and had reached the pinnacle of success, IMO, yet all the power, wealth and success didn't prevent this from happening.

It's a sobering thought for us all.
