Rush’s ability to analyze current events and lay out a compelling position on the issues is virtually unmatched. I would love to be able to hear great orators like William Jennings Bryan as a comparison, but I think his skill is one for the ages.
I say this as one who has not always been a “ditto head” or even a big fan of Rush, but as I’ve listened more, I’ve come to appreciate his skill, intelligence, and passion.
It’s no wonder Obama singled him out; there’s no one else in the conservative movement who communicates the conservative viewpoint any better, and few who can even come close. However, I think in her own way, Sarah Palin is one. And let’s face it - it’s not just what you say, but how you say it.
Rush’s speech was pretty good. But Newt’s was better.
