e-mail rush and tell him that you want to meet him!
Yo, Nigel. Get it right. He tends to call it the Drive-by Media.
Hope he stays #1 for another 20 years and his next contract is $800,000,000 ...
Meet Rush once through an Aunt that went to school with him. His name growing up was Rusty. When asked by people who would you invite to your last supper Rush would be on my list.
Then I woke up
I’m sure it was Rush who I met in KC many years ago. Big guy, family full of lawyers, who worked for the Royals.
I think my ex-neighbor might’ve fired him from one of his radio gigs.
Great article...thanks for posting! Love the ending. ;)
I think she’s a tall, blond liberal. Don’t remember her name, though. He must be a masochist.
He made a nice 20 foot sidehill putt on the 4th hole. As he was walking off the green I said, "Nice putt, Rush." He said, "Thank youuuu."
Wow. That was a nice article. Thanks for posting.
Okay, okay. So if I would've read a little further before getting my undies in a bundle I would've seen that he did get it right.
I remember the first time I heard him, he was on TV. I was coming in from a late job and my brother screams to me at the door, "GET IN HERE AND LISTEN TO THIS GUY". We were both gobsmacked because he talked just like our grandparents, aunts and uncles talked. We always felt so weird being a conservative family. LOL HE BELIEVED WHAT WE DID!!!! Yes! We never heard anything like it before. It was awesome. It was like discovering a whole new planet or a vaccine for a painful illness. LOL
I've been listening for 20 years and now my kids listen to him every afternoon. We have to hurry and finish school in the morning because he comes on at 12:00. We plan our homeschool day around his show. LOL My kids tenderly call him "Uncle Rush". He is well loved by my children.
I love it when he says something cool and my kids scream with joy or delight. It's just a special, happy moment with my kids to see them "getting it" and watching their minds be provoked and challenged by THE great conservative mind.
So anyway, I wish my kids could meet him. He seems so private though, I would be embarrassed to bother him with a request.
Sure would like to see a list of his “fleet of sports cars.”
BUMP
He described the Republican candidate as a phony conservative and, when Sarah Palin first appeared, dismissed her as 'some babe McCain met at a convention'. He has come round to Palin since then, saying that she 'kicked Biden's butt' in that vice-presidential debate.
Typical condescending British twit. Rush will roast him tomorrow, if he deigns to mention it.
This is not actually a bad or unfair interview. Rush is certainly a fascinating man. Not someone I’d want to live with, but fascinating nonetheless. And in his way brilliant, far more brilliant than people give him credit for. That is not a small intellect.
Something that jumped out and nearly slapped me from that article (and Rush has not been this bold about his opinion on-air) was this tidbit when asked if he thinks Obama will win:
“’No. I don’t see it, Nigel. I think he’s been dead in the water since the primaries. He is going to need to be up 10 to 12 points to win by three or four. Don’t forget that Hillary winning was a foregone conclusion, too. If the polls had been right it would have been Giuliani versus Hillary. That’s why polls a year out are worthless. Obama is going around as the acting President. It’s off-putting. Unionised blue-collar Democrats didn’t vote for him, they voted for Hillary.”
I think this guy didn't get the joke.
Good read, but the guy writes like he’s coolly examining him to see if he needs to wear special shoes for his cloven hooves. He plays at detachment but without trying too hard, because who’s kidding who: we all know this man is actually evil incarnate.
