Rush at 25...

Just a small tip. You can use the right side of the screen on your blog. It won't break anyone's monitor.
Listened to him until 1991. After that he was in the RNC pocket(s). Tried to listen today and it was Hillary Blah blah blah, Obama Blah blah blah... to which I say BBBLLLEEECCHHHH!!! and yuck!!! And that was for less than 5 minutes. Talk radio is just sad.

It's true. Rush sold out after daddy Bush put him up in the Lincoln bedroom. After that, he turned into an RNC stooge. He used to be a real radio guy. Now he thinks he's politically powerful and part of the elite. His own ego destroyed him.

I don't know if his "selling out" came that early, but for a while there he was a party line kind of guy. He's seen that toeing the part line isn't how most hosts work these days, and has adjusted his act accordingly. I think when he was the lone guy who supported the Dubai World Ports debacle during the Bush administration, and Hannity took him behind the woodshed for it, he realized he had to change things up.
Despite what many here will say, Rush is a very savvy broadcaster.

Where is your proof that:
(1) Rush had an epiphany about toeing the party line?
(2) He adjusted his act?
(3) That most hosts do not toe the party line?
(4) That he was alone in supporting World Ports?
(5) That he is a very savvy broadcaster?
Lots of claims here. Zero proof of any of them.

You obviously never heard Neal Boortz. He was anything but, "the party line".
I have heard of Neal Boortz. I also heard he retired and Herman Cain took over his show.
In any case, I thought we were talking about Rush (and his adherence to the party line).

You really are bad at trolling.
Jason Roberts said:You obviously never heard Neal Boortz. He was anything but, "the party line".
When I moved to "The Land of Boortz" the story line is much the same as the Rush story line: In the early days he was funny and jovial and more creative. Then came syndication beyond his home market of Atlanta. Over time he became too predictable. TOO BITTER!!!! Granted, the Boortz Circus featured a side-show with antics not included underneath the "party line three-ring tent".... but at the end of the week when you washed the blueberry and peach juice out of the shirt, Boortz really didn't get that far "off the reservation".

Rush at 25 was a good AM Top 40 jock.
Rush at 62 is an ego-maniacal blow-hard and RNC shill. A cranky old man still younger than his audience's median age.
