    You are SERIOUSLY comparing Tiger Babe Elvis and Steve to rush limbaugh? Are you out of your mind? What is his talent expertise excellence other than being an extreme right-wing hardnosed political hack? Why not look up the list of recipients in the past Walt. What has rush contributed in the way of excellence talent expertise? C'mon. Think real hard. WHAT? Thank you for your reply. Look up the areas of awards and the recipients of those awards and then return here and look me in the eye without feeling silly. Sheesh.

    I had no idea m2c. Thank you for educating me. So somewhere inside he has a heart. Good to know. Why isn't that advertised more? Well of course if it were I'd slam the crap out of him for using what he does charitably to aggrandize himself. It speaks well for him. I give you that. :) This post was edited by RosieG at February 5, 2020 12:51 PM MST

    Even if you discount his charitable giving ... Rush had the achievement of showing that "right wing" political talk shows not only represented a large portion of our society, they could be economically viable.  Prior to his show, about the only "right wing" talk you would hear on the radio was during sports shows.

    He and Fox brought media political bias out of innuendo and shadow, to the spotlight.

    Ya know you have an excellent point there m'dear! Excellent. The dumb don approval rating is now at it's highest point allegedly. 49%! What about Alex Jones and Dr. Laura and Ann Coulter and all the other pro dumb don "celebrities" who have shows? Is Rush the only one standing or was he first and loudest? Thank you for your VERY thoughtful point. I don't see what you said as a "talent" or a "good" I view it as a vile abomination. But I am not them and "they" of the 49% like it embrace it accept it support it defend it live it. Who am I to decry it? :(

    Ah yes, Tiger Woods, the golfer, the carouser, and the adulterer. Ah yes, Babe Ruth, the baseball player, the drunk, the carouser, and the adulterer. Ah yes, Elvis Presley, the singer, movie star, adulterer, drunk, and drug abuser. Ah yes, Steven Spielberg, director, producer, and filmmaker in the pedophile-filled, corrupt, and satanic Hollywood. SERIOUSLY, you recognize those people as being just fine yet you condemn Rush Limbaugh because he is a conservative talk show host whom you hate because of it? SERIOUSLY?
