Thats just one of his things how he pokes fun at liberals because they, like, literally, cant talk right.
I love the nuance and depth of his sarcastic wit.
Last few times I tuned in he was talking deflate gate and other useless crap...
Does he do the major issues that affect us any more?
I ask honestly, I just can’t get all that interested in his show any more.
“I literally died from embarrassment!”
“I literally fell overboard when I heard the news about Aunt Martha!”
“I literally thought I went to heaven when I tasted that blueberry pie!”
I don't listen to Rush either, but then I don't listen to any talk show and I don't bitch about it.
Thank you for chiming in with your words of wizdum.
The word “nearly” conveys the exaggeration without using a word to mean the opposite of its conventional meaning.
I haven’t listened to him in probably a year, just boring with no real analysis or info I hadn’t already read online from the same sources he uses. Still not totally unlistenable like idiot Hannity.
After it's safe to do so. He waits until he sees which way the wind blows and then chimes in. Don't jump to conclusions here, I've been a faithful Rush listener for over 20 years, but he's not on the "cutting edge" anymore. He's not.
I understand very well he is trying to emphasize, underscore, or even exaggerate, as you stated.
Words MEAN things, as Rush would say, I believe.
He’s using the word incorrectly.
This is not like the jerk who once fired Rush, claiming it was because Rush used the word, “therefore”, a word the PM simply didn’t like. Then, Rush was using the word correctly.
Let’s say my intent is to exaggerate:
“That ho-ho was so good that it TRASMISSIONED my mind..!”
Would it be right? No, because the meaning of the word “transmission” doesn’t fit there.
And LITERALLY doesn’t carry the meaning that Rush is groping for in the cases he’s using it—it’s just that so many idiots use it that way that it has ended up influencing him.
But-but-but-but (a little Chris Wallace lingo here), that's impossible. He uses Compusave (or whatever he calls it as he hawks it incessantly during show time), and that GUARANTEES that you will never lose a single bit of anything. He must be mistaken on this. He's either lying that he uses it, or it doesn't work as well as he says.
i heard that part and i thot he was spoofing hillary’s lost email. I got a kick out of that whole bit.
Interesting. You know...I hadn’t considered that, and I think it’s POSSIBLE you are right.
Rush sometimes plays subtle spoofs like this, from time to time.
Hmm....good thinking.
Maybe he is using again
I think Sean Hannity is the worst offender re: literally and he’s got a good Catholic education he should know better. I always remember the time he said he knew many small business owners who worked themselves to death, literally!

Rush - you never have to ask forgiveness... Youre attacked almost daily by the left - yet you stay professional and cheerful. God only knows how you do that...

He’s got a net worth in the 400 million dollar range. I’m sure that helps put persepctive on his daily attacks from those who don’t care for him.
that was the feeling I got to.. I don’t have a lot of time during the day to listen but I do listen to Mark in the evening.
With a screen name that is "fungus" plural you are concerned about a parody on strategy?
I found Free Republic thanks to Rush. A freeper called in and plugged this website some time during the Clinton administration. Been here ever since! Thank you freeper, thank you Rush.
I'm like the two old ladies in the restaurant "Everything is just terrible" "Yeah and the quantities are so small!".
