CARE to name *one* grand prediction of his - let alone ONE that he 'fumbled'??
I don't know what the original poster would call a "grand prediction," but I've heard Rush throw out some predictions that were clearly just talk. In '96, he predicted at one time that Colin Powell would run for president and win. At another time, he predicted that Dole would beat Clinton. I think he predicted that the Republicans would gain seats in '98. When he predicts something that I want to happen, it's easy to put too much faith in the prediction because I just want it to be true. His predictions are just part of the show. Some will be true and some will be wrong. I don't think the predictions are that big a deal, but the notion that he's always right when he makes predictions about important things is silly.
