Rush stands to make obscene amounts of money off conservatives for the next eight years, listening to their cathartic rants and ventings on the air; from ratings and ad dollars on the network; and name-dropping at the same cocktail parties that The Left attends, because after all, we’re one big happy entertainment industry.

Because Rush is exactly that: an entertainer.

"Because Rush is exactly that: an entertainer."

Like him or not he addresses problems that need to looked at and he has a large audience. Who else do you suggest?

“Because Rush is exactly that: an entertainer.”

He reaches and influences millions of voters daily. That makes him a political entity. He makes a lot of money because he is the most successful radio talk show host in the country. There’s nothing obscene about that. It’s capitalism at work.

RE: “Because Rush is exactly that: an entertainer.”

**************

I used to think Rush was merely an entertainer. Yes, he is, but he is certainly smart and makes great points as well. I crack up daily listening to him which keeps me hooked now.

What fan would not guffaw at the chiseling sounds as background last week when there was discussion of how Obama’s words would be cast in stone. Hilarious.

As well, I always laugh when he talks about tying half his brain behind his back, just to make things “fair.” Love it.

Yes, Limbaugh will do very well with Oblahma and pals in office — I don’t begrudge Rush a dime of it. Before becoming a regular listener, I used to think he was just an obnoxious blowhard; then I realized he’s really a pretty well informed, smart, right-minded entertainer. Thanks Rush!
