In the 90's, Rush was middle-aged and obese. I don't think that's a distinction you can hold against Rush -- that he's older and not as .... fresh-looking? less aged-looking? whatever ..... I don't get your distinction there.
And if the majority of American voters are brain-damaged by following the MSM, whose fault is that? Rush's? He should go off-air, retire, go away, and just quit the field and hand victory to a class of professional liars and spinners and witch-doctors of political "truth"?
I think you're taking pragmatism over the edge.
I was talking about Newt and not Rush. Being old fat and ugly doesn’t apply to radio anyway and I’m not saying Rush is old fat and ugly.
Now on TV—a visual medium—looks do matter. Remember,to the radio listeners of the JFK RMN presidential debate Nixon won and to the TV viewers Kennedy did.
