What's *astounding* is that nobody remembers the origins of the phrase "drinking the Kool Aid".
It *was* Rush.
During the 1992 Democrat National Convention (back in the days when Bush 41's approval rating was 91-95%, no *serious* Dem wanted anything to do with the nomination.
Rush had somebody from his show standing on the corner outside the convention, passing out Grape Kool-Aid...which I think was an oblique reference to Jonestown and its suicide by Kool-Aid.
It's odd, that Slick Willie saw his chance (oh, yeah, Hillary did too), just when all the other leading Dems were taking a pass.
Someone ought to remind Rush of that, and see if he'll do an encore, when the *next* Clinton is seeking the nomination...
The Jonestown Kool-aid line was coined even as news of the tragedy unfolded.
Those were politically incorrect times.
People didn’t wait for months before mocking stupidity on the level of following Jim Jones.
The term was in common use when I was growing up.
