The conservative thing is just a schtick to Savage. Actually its all about Mike.
The prima donna bit is annoying enough when Rush does it, but with Savage's abrasive style its really hard to take.
It sure seems that way..
I wish he would do more than give out soundbytes and hangup on people. Sure, I know he feels like it.. but that educates no one.
Rush will go to great length when he has an intelligent liberal (?) on the line to explain his point of view and why he thinks he's right. Even if the guy on the phone remains unconvinced, the debate may still sway one of the fence riding listeners.
I have been pretty critical of Rush in the past, but this is one of the things I think he does very well, explain his point of view in a very simple, very clear way.
