I’ve been thinking a lot about the so-called smart guys on our side, the smartest ones in the room, and how they see each other.
Unlike Rush, Dr. Sowell sees Newt as an ally, not a rival. The true talents “on loan from God” performing brilliantly with half their brains tied behind their backs rightfully belong to Newt and Sowell, IMHO.
Rush is all about entertainment, and Newt is his competition. Newt is funnier, sharper, more poignant, and a better historian & educator.
Newt needs no explanation and he doesn’t need Rush. Maybe that’s why Rush likes Rick (and why Sowell likes Newt.)
Spot on, b9!
To use an old phrase, I didn’t leave Rush, he left me.
I got sick of him trying to push Santorum down my throat.
Newt Gingrich is too smart for him, just like you opined.
