I read the entire article, and it was an entertaining read, certainly. I couldn’t help wondering how much was taken out of context, though, and how much of it was written to embarress the man - especially those comments about Savage, Hannity, and O’Reilly. I can easily see comments about O’Reilly being Ted Baxter part of an extended comic riff, with the writer then draining the blood from Rush’s comments and leaving only the grime. After listening to Rush for all these years, the Ted Baxter comment seemed jarring and out of place, too, although that’s just my intuition and not based on any factual substance. I also had the feeling - again, no facts, just feeling - that the writer relished putting those insults into print.

All the news that fits, I suppose.

A lot of these guys are trying to ride Rush’s coattails....

Rush clearly let everyone know that what they (Hannity and O’Reilly) are doing is not what he is doing.

Hannity isn’t a conservative advocate. He’s a republican cheerleader.

Bill O’Reilly IS Ted Baxter - Awed by his own voice and impressed with his own opinions.

Rush is the only guy who articulating and arguing the values and virtues of CONSERVATISM. And he does it in a light-hearted and funny manner.

Yeah, he has an ego. What was Shaun Hannity’s contract worth?
