Rush's ratings are down. He knows he has to have controversy to hold the numbers.

Cheer leaders only draw an audience is they wear very very short skirts and kick their legs up a lot. Rush looks terrible in short skirts and can't even wiggle his tu tu.

Rush does tell the truth about his profession He says he is an entertainer and he is. The competition is getting a lot tougher. Controversy makes talk radio. Rush is well aware of that.

We will know Rush's ratings are really bad when he has Hillary on to talk about her run for the presidency.

Howdy, C.T., good to see you again...

"Rush's ratings are down. He knows he has to have controversy to hold the numbers. Cheer leaders only draw an audience if they wear very very short skirts and kick their legs up a lot. Rush looks terrible in short skirts and can't even wiggle his tu tu."

ROFLMAO!!! You make an inarguable point, my FRiend...however, distancing oneself from Dubyuh's recent policy capitulations goes beyond one individual's rantings, especially one with a 10-year guaranteed $200+ Million contract. You are FRee disparage Rush's motivations all you want, but he's always been a net positive in my book. Please don't be too quick to discount his counsel, my learned FRiend.

"Rush does tell the truth about his profession. He says he is an entertainer and he is. The competition is getting a lot tougher. Controversy makes talk radio. Rush is well aware of that."

Sure he is...but I do not remember Rush criticizing Dubyuh about his response to 9/11. Nor do I remember him calling out Dubyuh for his Tax Cut...except for maybe the indisputable fact that it was too little, too far in the future. As a former commentator, I'm sure you have a unique appreciation of the importance of ratings, but courting controversy only works for a short period of time unless you are on the Right side of the issue...wouldn't you agree?!

"We will know Rush's ratings are really bad when he has Hillary on to talk about her run for the presidency."

LOL!! Yes...and I will hereby grant you full smack-talkin' privileges on the day that happens, my wise FRiend...MUD

Controversy does not sell seats to the Rush Limbaugh program because his value/stock in trade has always been that he says what we already are thinking. People tune in and say, yeah, finally, someone is saying out loud what I've known all along!

Further, Rush's value as an entertainer was that he brought optimism and hope. We are at war now and all he does is bitch. I'm not suggesting he not speak his mind, but I'm also not suggesting I have to listen to him moan over dumb doo-doo.

We have so much to be thankful in having a man of such high character as Bush to lead our country right now, why can't we focus at least some on the positive?

The Rats got slammed when they came out trying to attack Bush for dumb doo-doo---why does Rush think he can do it and not alienate millions?
