Couple of ways to look at Rush's surprise at that.
One - it's just a tad arrogant on his part to think that if no one's talking to him about a subject, that people aren't very concerned about it, and discussing it elsewhere in volume.
Two - could be that his callers are having a hard time fixing their attention on that one assault, when they're enduring a virtual fusillade of assaults from Washington. No sooner do we recover from the shock of one punch to the gut, we receive another. And another. And another.
Rush may not appreciate the fact that people out here are reeling from the multiple blows to their senses. I, myself, had to turn it all off today, and seek other distractions. I can hardly digest everything that's come down the pike in the last week.
Windy, excellent points—and I feel the same way.
Seems like it is an outrage a day, sometimes two.
Today was especially upsetting.
