I am not going to dispute anything you said:

But, Rush mentioned last week that he met with President Bush in the Oval Office a couple of weeks ago...and I have heard Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld on his show..

I have also heard Bill Gertz of the Washington Times on his show...so IMHO..he has the respect of the top handful of people in the whole world...so, to heck with ESPN, or the Weekly Standard.

True--- well said!

Ronald Reagan handed off the torch of being the standard bearer for conservatism in America... Obviously the approval of ESPN means diddly squat next to that.

I think since he came back, Rush cares a lot less about that sort of thing than he used to in any case-- in fact, I'm probably projecting, because it bugs me when he wrongly gets the shaft even though my only connection to him is listening to and reading the guy.
