One thing I've noticed on the show, and it has happened to me when I've called in, when it's a chance to make a point, and one that is uncomfortable for him to handle or he's left himself open, he's dispatched the caller into neverland.

Fullabull.

He's spent MORE time with some of the non-entertaing 'libs' than he really has HAD to. It can really get rather boring, listening to the same droning moronic 'tone' lib after lib or moderate after moderate.

DOLLARS to any donuts you may have - that you were boring or pedantic.

Do you happen to know the date and hour you were 'on'?

I prefer to call it mulefritters, but I say your wrong. If he's got a fool caller, yes, he will sometimes play with them. But look at the transcript with this caller. Never did he ask the caller why he felt it was necessary to have elected or other high level officials children involved in the war. Never did he ask why it was important. This guy made a statement and Rush used the balance of the segment to trash the guys position.

While he did spend more time with me than this guy, the dialog I was setting up was just that. A way to get him to concretely commit to a position that I knew he wouldn't want to. When he realized that I was dispatched. I had the dialog bookmarked, but it expired.

Similarly, he also insisted I was a full blown conservative when I insisited I was a moderate in another conversation. That was in July of 2001. It was when people were beginning to grouse that Bush was indeed a moderate and he was wondering why and what moderates really are.

The other thing is some calls appear to be set up calls. He will go on something totally off the topic of his show, and viola within 60 seconds there's a caller with his topic. Funny, but as hard as it is to get on his show, how can someone get through so fast? I think it was the same with the caller with the elected officials question.

Listen closely. You can her them.
