Admit it..like many of you, I tune into Rush occasionally
about once a week, until my five minutes or so are up. Lately, it has been great listening to him bloviate about what others are saying about him. He's having full-blown freak-out junkie-ramble attacks about people saying he is having 'full-blown freak-out junkie-rambles' concerning the state of his CAHNSERVITIVE PAHTY. Goddam, his listeners must have shorter attention spans than I had in 1972. Remember '72? I was rockin' to Led Zep and Jethro Tull and the next thing I knew it was disco and leisure suits. Anyway, in case you feel down about our state of affairs, don't neglect listening to the other side occasionally. Sometimes it actually makes you feel better watching the pitbulls chew on their own legs.

7. yup
can't be bothered having my blood pressure raised like that sionce right around 2000 too-in fact the last time I may have paid any attention to him was right before I outed him right here on DU as a "Big Fat Junkie" I knew about it before the MSM did and told everyone here about it as Oustemnow-my first screename at DU

10. I think he's finally figuring out that he has no power any more
He probably wont last much longer in the radio biz because of just that. That's certainly good news.

11. Best to leave such creatures to their own devices, I think.

They are unhappy people. I never listen to them.

21. mind you, i am not advocating becoming a listener...
but sometimes it is better to know where the lead lemming is headed versus trying to figure out where the crowd that just trampled you is going.

20. Coolest thing about GOP results in Florida is that it puts a nail
in Rush's coffin. His reign of influence is at an end. He is now as impotent politically as he is physically. I guess they don't make a little blue pill for Rush's inability to get the electorate up!!!!

22. I've learned to not listen to right wing bull shit propaganda.
I feel a lot better not listening to any right wing talk show. There is nothing there to educate me and nothing there to entertain me. I have put right wing propaganda out of my life!

24. Never once by intention. Once or twice by accident and even then
after I finished wiping the vomit off my face, I changed the station.

26. I watched the TV show a little bit
despite being Rush, some of the spoofs on the TV show were really well done. Especially the Montana tourism ones around the time the Unabomber was arrested.

27. no, I don't
I used to but not anymore. I used to think it was a good practice to tine in and know what the enemy was saying, but after while, I realized it was never anything new and just stopped.

I bet on any given day I could scan the headlines and write a synopsis of Pigboy's show without ever tuning in and hit it pretty much on the nose. The regressive ideas he puts forth are tailored for the simple minded and not that hard to predict.

My bro listens to Michael Savage (only for his blatant stupidity) but even that makes me want to rip the car radio out and throw it over the overpass.

if you can handle that shrill blubbery voice fine, but it's like nails on a chalkboard for me.

37. I (tried) to listen to Lumpbag
a couple years ago to gain insight into the neonut agenda. Listening to that lying bastard made me want to beat my own ass. He is a pompous, self righteous, full of shit, fetid pile of radical right wing spew (and according to him, on loan from God). By any definition you care to gauge him, he really is a fucking nut. I shall never again corrupt my beautiful progressive mind with the pure manure that comes from the mind and mouth of King Dipshit.
