What a shame. We don't need Bill going head to head with Rush. We need a morning man to counter-act NPR's Morning Edition. Bill needs to go head to head with Bob Edwards. Conservative views could then be aired in the morning and afternoon slots. With Fox television News in the evening there would be much better coverage of conservative issues.
Bill O'Reilly: bring it on! Competition is what makes the capitalist world go 'round. Rush would be the first to agree with this. This can only make both shows better.
Personally, I would switch to O'Reilly in a minute. Rush has bored me to tears ever since he talked about his golf, cigars, and celebrity dinners more than about current events. This happened years ago, before there was any issue with hearing loss. Perhaps some serious competeition will shake up Rush and get him back to the style that got him to the top in the first place.
