Rush's intellect is hideously conventional, superficial, and yes, often wrong, and yes, basically RNC central (with occasional brief variations when he worries about his audience's reactions). I loved the way he treated the Buchanan thingie ever so cautiously until he got the lay of the land as to where his audience was going. Only his great entertainment talents overcome all of that as far as his staying power goes, and his entertainment value is not what it once was.

He is #1 which means when he speaks everyone listens.
