Your comment reminded me of something:

Many years ago, I heard a sermon in which the pastor was talking about why some people have so much trouble with a particular temptation. The line I remember him saying was the idea that, when it really came down to it, they didn’t hate their sin.

IOW, they wanted to stop it on principle, but deep down they still actually liked whatever it was they got out of it in the first place.

A simple example: a friend who wanted to quit smoking. He tried and tried without success. One day he said he went in his closet to get something and suddenly became totally disgusted with how his clothes smelled. For some reason, that made him hate smoking and he was able to quit cold turkey after that.

There’s something to that and to what you said, I think. It’s almost like Rush et al. have become so numb to what the ‘Toons really mean for our country that they’ve lost their revulsion to them.

If it wasn’t for the ‘toons, some of them would be stuck at “ZOO 98.5 FM”, playing Hannah Montana records.

Glad someone else noticed that. To me, it sure does seem like Rush , Levin, Hannity do not hate Hillary Clinton. I and many conservatives do hate the Clintons but Rush doesn't . I think Rush et al. actually like the Clintons. Why would Rush and Hannity do impressions of Bill Clinton all the time ? Isn't imitation the sincerest form of flattery? I'm just tired of the Clintons and hate them and do not ever want to see them again.
