He sends me the loveliest e-mails, said John. What I get from Rush privately and what I get from Rush publicly are two different things. Im just trying to break him down.
So is the on-air Limbaugh just an act? The interview seems to suggest that. Traci Watson, who conducted the interview for USA Today, writes John believes that his friend Rush Limbaugh doesnt truly oppose gay marriage.

(22,143 posts)All off these guys are just playing characters that sell shit. Talk radio is entertainment and these clowns play up to the mouthbreathers for ratings. Are some of these guys sincere? Yeah. I think people like Savage, Jones, Liddy and maybe Levin are true believers but the Limbaughs, Hannitys and Becks are just in it for the cheddar.
I remember Keith Olbermann describing a chance meeting he had with Hannity. Sean said to him "Isn't it great that all these people think we hate each other?" which, of course, was him giving up the game. Keith said he just stared at him in disgust because he really does hate Hannity and what he does.
That's not to say that what they do isn't repugnant but I have no problem believing Sir Elton on this.
