I do have to say that Rush has earned the right to do whatever he wants on his show. Unlike when he first started there are now plenty of alternatives. I will admit that after sitting through a five minute long commercial break I do have mixed feelings about then hearing even more about that talking horse.
What I find completely intolerable is when he takes a call whose only topic is how tasty his bottled tea is. That’s really the most interesting topic anyone has to discuss these days?
You could always go with Callista's talking elephant instead.
