First, Let me say: Kudos, Rush.
In case you are not aware, there has been a concerted effort for years to get Right-Wing Talk Show Host, Rush Limbaugh, off the air --- to quiet his voice. The latest is a man claiming to be a Republican, Colin Powell.* He believes that Republicans should stop listening to Rush.
Surely, Powell jests. Rush is the cornerstone of Right-Wing Politics. He has twenty million people who listen to him day after day, month after month, year after year. I am one.
Why? There are other talk show programs that are good, other Right-Wingers who speak out on conservative issues over radio and television. But Rush is special. He has a way of "extracting that one diamond out of all the paste of all the verbiage." Rush's insight still amazes me, and that's why I listen. I don't always agree with Rush, but he does make me think.
Rush is witty and wise, as well as entertaining. Facts and information Rush gives us are true 98% of the time, according to numerous studies. Thus, we can believe what Rush says. More than that, he has a special gift of spotting fallacies and even lies on the liberal side of politics, something I personally find no other talk show host can come close to.
For example, recently Rush was talking about the Obama team downsizing the expectations of an Obama presidency. I'm sure you all remember how pundits have been predicting four million people will be in Washington D.C. for Obama's inauguration. Guess what? Now, they are saying it will be closer to half that number. Remember how Obama promised us pie-in-the-sky-with-whipped-cream-on-it-yet in his campaign? Well, now these expectations are being downsized.
Many other Right-Wingers are talking about the downsizing, but Rush has nailed it. He points out Obama is already starting to build his legacy. If we don't expect as much to begin with, Obama's legacy will seem super-sized if he does more than we think he will. If he doesn't do what is expected, then we won't be disappointed. In Rush's words, America elected "Clark Kent", not "Superman". If we get Superman, great, but our expectations are for a Clark Kent. Well said, understandable, and to the point. The one kernel of insight in the chaff of many words.
Twenty million people love Rush, and most of us by now feel Colin Powell is a traitor to our conservative ideals.
You want to know something scary? I've listened to Rush so much, I have begun to think like him. Kudos, Rush. I love it!
