Michael Weiner will never have the audience, the class, the style, the panache, the intelligence, and the Christian ethos that Rush has.

You must not listen to Savage very much. Rush is clearly the leader but maybe he is riding the wave. Rush is a sissy compared to Savage in terms of subject matter, range of interesting discourse (from dogs to food and recipes, political analysis, Biblical references, and awesome insight into the soul of people that Savage talks to. Rush is somewhat predictable, self-centered, and has not the range of general knowledge about historical events and their relationship to today's events, historical context, support for the Catholic Church, and subject matter Rush will not or cannot address, like Savage's ban from Britain.

I must admit that I get bored with Rush sometimes, been listening to him since 1988. There is no contest between the intellects of Rush and Savage. Savage towers over Rush!

Arf! Arf! Arf!

Personal opinion is just that.
Weiner has no right or legitimacy in attacking
Rush. He is being iconoclastic for iconoclastic
sake. Weiner will never win and hold the hugh
audience that Rush has had and continues
to hold. Weiner is living up to his Bronx
raising. Just a wannabe.

‘Savage towers over Rush”

But Savage whines that he gets no support from people he considers to be imbeciles.

It’s like Patton complaining that he gets no support from the French Army.

I heard Rush recently and remarked to myself how tired, hackneyed, and amateurish he sounded, and found it sort of amusing and sad at the same time that there was a cadre of loyal supporters that thought that this “going through the motions” mode was the pinnacle of genius. Rush has been on autopilot for a decade. I don't take great pleasure saying that since Rush really was great back in the 80’s and 90’s, but sensed his change around the 2000 elections when Bush was elevated to godlike status. He was clearly the sensible choice compared to Gore, but hardly Reagan II. That was the inflection point.

I agree w/your assessment of rush vs savage.

I haven't listened to rush for a long time, it got too predictable, repetitive, boring and the continuous backpatting and "look what the media said about me" just got to be too much. He wastes at least 90 or more per show talking about what? why himself of course. I don't mind a cute personal story every once in awhile but the constant me me me is ridiculous, there's just too many more pressing issues to discuss.
