Rush is not a national treasure - no radio jock is - even if they are doing politics it is all a gimmick. Radio personalities are just one rung up the ladder from circus clowns in the show biz hierarchy. This is show biz - nothing more - a genre that started in the 70s built around the format of pissing people off enough to get them to listen - either pissed at the radio DJ or pissed off along with the radio DJ.
Read the Federalist Papers - those are a national treasure - leave the false hero worship at home.

Ha, ha. What a joke--do you even know how Jay, Madison, and Hamilton came to write the *Federalist Papers*? I doubt it. They were each "tuned in" to the "talk radio" of their day--the opinion broadsheets--each and every day. Their "papers" were a running commentary in that vein--had "talk radio" been around back then they would've been the most ardent listeners. You need to heft a few more history books, and read them, before you post about such matters, IMO.
