Geez, I come back to this thread after what, 2 years? and everyone is bitching about Rush, unreal.
You probably need to stick aournd a bit more so you can hear him on a really good day vs. this past week.
The last excellent recent Rush show I remember was on 7/3/13, when he actually gave credit to FReepers for pre-empting the Tea Party movement by over a decade. He had an interesting interview with James O'Keefe as well that day.
Other than that recent show, I can't remember when Rush had what I'd call a "stellar" show. He was good before the 2012 elections though. I give him a lot of credit for not taking any time off in the run-up to the election...
As far as adding "fun" into Rush's political discussions, most of us miss the days when he would liven up his show with those fantastic Paul Shanklin parodies. Haven't heard any of those in ages on Rush's show...
