Same here, I thought he was the heir apparent to Rush, thats how fun his shows were. Back during the 2004 election, the guy was a hoot!
But in the last several years, something has changed. I mean, part of him is still the same guy I thought was so great, but there is also this new addition to personality. As if his increased popularity has made him take himself much to seriously at times. It is very off putting.
I think he sees the dark times that are coming, and it’s hard not to be changed by that. I also think that he thinks that it’s his job to warn people about what’s coming, because the LSM sure isn’t.
