“He used to be cutting edge, entertaining, etc.”

Too bad somebody from his show isn’t on FR today. The critical posts I’ve gotten seem well intentioned and would really help improve his product. I suspect that nobody around him offers him real criticism, that’s one of the problems with being the boss.

True enough, but Rush's real problem is that he's correctly proclaimed the US is in real trouble (i.e. Obama), but like all the other talking heads, that's all he does - talk.
It's time he put his money where his mouth has been for years. Get out from behind the EIB mike, get off the golf course and go run for office.
At the least, get involved with the TEA party and show his face at rallies across the country.
