According to Mark Steyn (fill-in on Friday), Rush would have been breaking the law had he broadcast from Palm Beach Friday and (again according to Steyn) if he was going to broadcast from another location, he had to set up that operation by Monday - obviously in someplace other than Florida.
And at no point was he “poor-poohing its reality” (whatever the hell that means) - his point (which anybody who listened to his show instead of his critics would know) was that the coming disaster was being exploited for political ends. Which it was.
Well, the hurricane wasn’t being exploited by Scott or any of the people who have actual responsibilities in this world, and unfortunately, the impression Rush gave was that he thought the whole thing was a hyped conspiracy. Rush bloviates. Sometimes that’s entertaining, and that’s all he is - an entertainer. But many people take him too seriously.
He used to be better - that is, more up on things - years ago, but he’s been coasting and just permitting himself uninformed rants on various things. Heck, anybody can do that.
