I first knew of Rush through watching the last year of his TV show.
I didn't always agree with Rush, but it was more-than-obvious that he raised questions that needed to be raised.
As a budding conservative, I found the show to be very enjoyable.
I listened to Rush from his start in Sacramento and thought he was great even then. Imagine now! Now, if I don't get my daily Rush fix (err...not pills), I am left distraught and nervous. You go, Rush! You be da man for sure!
