Oh geez... as soon as I heard Rush say he was in CA today, I had a feeling. Sounds like another "annual" golf trip. Thanks for the heads up, rightwingintelligentsia.
Honestly, after the last couple of shows this week, I think Rush needs a few days off. Rush's head was already on vacation during yesterday's worthless show - what a waste of three hours: Rush went on and on about Bubba Watson and Waffle House (who the hell cares?), Colbert and some ancient history of the Clintoons.
On Monday Rush admitted he hadn't even seen the video of the woman throwing the shoe at Hillary last week. Sounds like Rush's show prep these days is only from Drudge and FR. Rush: If you watch less than one hour a day of Fox News' "Special Report with Bret Baier", you would have been up to speed on the Hillary shoe-throwing video. TiVo/DVR it and speed thru the commercials!
Does anyone know why Rush hasn't mentioned the Bundy Ranch Cattle Battle?? News about it was breaking all over the place yesterday, and Rush continued to drone on and on about Bubba Watson and Waffle House. Unbelievable.
Great, Hour #2 now, and he's back to discussing Stephen Colbert...
On yesterday's thread I posted basically the same observation....and then a couple posters jumped all over me with snark..."flip the dial", "go away". Guess they don't like honest opinions posted on FR, just going-along to get-along.
Rush's show yesterday was awful...no show prep, no topical issues, just "tabloid" (Colbert, Hill and Bill dancing on the beach, Waffle House, etc.).
When Rush takes a lot of phone calls in mid-week, you know he's just going to be filling in time...which he did yesterday....and is doing today. The phone calls yesterday prompted a lot of standard Rush rants, good rants, but the same stock ideological ones he pulls out of the old hat when the gray cells in his head run dry, and there's nothing new on his "stack of stuff" for the day.
Don't even get me started on the Bundy issue, the one, of course, he hasn't touched with a ten-foot pole. It's just a deliberate snub to his listeners for some unknown reason, and therefore, disappointing to the max.
I've been fortunate to have been able to listen to Rush daily for about 22 years, live or on tape. He's always been my mentor...and he's one of the best things that ever happened to this country.
But I (and I'm sure others) get nervous when he appears off his edge or to be playing things safe. I don't have to amplify, most Rush-folks know exactly what I mean.
Today's show is just as boring and just as void of any breaking news or any new insights as was yesterday's show. I hoped he'd lead with the Cattle Battle, the Ukraine, whatever, but it looks like just more stock stuff today. You're correct, Nutmeg, I think he needs some time off to re-organize his objectives in the fast-moving political news world.

Have shows been pre recorded with catch up materials that he’s not been able to get on? Or is his research crew out?
