Reading your tagline I must comment ,, Rush hasn’t read a paper in at least a decade ,, his show should be call “Best of Drudge”.
You gotta be kidding. Drudge puts something up and it sits there for a week. You can be pretty sure most weekends we will shut down for two or three days. Rush couldn't run his show on Drudge's output for more than a couple hours a week. And the Best of Drudge would be done in 15 minutes.
No, just look at Rush's stack of stuff.
You may be right, he has a staff (large) that read almost everything. And he has far more info than Drudge. I find his web site to be woefully lacking lately. JMHO
