"...anything at all for some public attention."

Never forget that Rush is not an activist, not a philosopher; he's just an entertainer!
What he says may or may not be right, it may or may not reflect Conservative values, but it is all done to ENTERTAIN.

And it works.

An entertainer who's almost single-handedly responsible for the conservative movement as it is today.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Yup, Rush is about as entertaining as a root canal.

His ego has him thinking it's all about him.

It's about our young men in the military on the front lines. The servicemen who are risking their lives while he is denigrating the commander in chief so he'll get a mention by some liberal enemy of our country.

Nice going Rush!

You are quite right, but at the same time you have to have a grain of truth in order to be/sound funny. I like Rush a lot, listened to his show since 1989 on,but lately, I have to admit he is veering off the path.
If you want examples it will take several pages to explain it, suffice to say that monetary compensation has changed the man and his message as expected, hence the need to borrow FR to get attention.

In my book it is time to bow out in full glory, and go on on another venues.(cigars,golf,football take your pick)

You just fell for the myth that the left has passed around for years. Rush has more political smarts in his little finger than you have in your head.
