You are right about them trying to bait Rush ,and Ed did not sound like a physician to me. The Ebola point was weird. The reason why Ebola is spreading in Africa is because of their burial practices, and their fear of sorcery from medical professionals. If he had used TB as a primary example, I would have given him more credence. He did not sound intelligent enough to be a physician. I think Rush handled them well.
and why did they bother to call Rush if they had already bent over..
You are correct about Ed. Usually when somebody with a medical background speaks on the radio, he can’t help but intersperse some medical jargon into the conversation. Nothing that came out of Ed’s mouth sounded ‘clinical’ at all...and Ebola isn’t from South America at all
