I'm listening to him RIGHT NOW!

As I do whenever I can, as well as to subscribe to "The Limbaugh Letter".

Don't be so sure that he gives Pres. GWB. or other Republican Politicians a complete pass when they roam astray; he's ripped the Adminsitration a new one on several occasions (and taken a lot of flak from loyal Listeners for it) over, among other things, passing the "Campaign Finance Reform" debacle and caving in on the Conservative agenda advanced during the Presidential Campaign.

Rush is in NOOOObody's pocket, folks.

Having said that, I feel that he occasionally goes a little overboard with his shtick, like the "Environmental Whackko Update Theme Song" with him laughing over the sounds of chain saws and trees crashing down, or the music to "Born Free" mixed with gunfire and fake screeching. He regularly states how preposterous it is for "the Left" to express the idea that all Conservatives / Republicans actually WANT to destroy the Environment, pollute the air & water, or poison our Children. I don't know any who do either; but I wonder if his extreme satire in this issue might not give some people the wrong impression.
Some people take Rush way too seriously, and get all offended; he seems to just love it when they do.

I certainly don't agree with him all of the time, nor does he expect us to - but I have found over the course of several years that information is available on his program which may take weeks or months to seep through the "Mainstream" Media, and is generally reliable.

One technique Rush uses quite effectively is humor; he has a way of cracking you up while he's making a point. This, I opine, is one area that the "Left" would do well to examine, as every time I see one of the left's spokespeople on the media - Al Sharpton, Tom Daschle, Jessie Jackson, Cue-Ball Carville, etc.. - they all look constantly angry. Distressed. As if somebody just dropped a porcupine into their shorts and set their hair on fire. Except in James C.'s case, where they put a porky on his head and set his... oh; never mind; you get the picture.

Several Politicians have sucessfully mixed humor with the serious issues at hand from time to time; a couple who come to mind are Abraham Lincoln and Huey Long. Both of whom were ultimately shot... hmmm...; coincidence I'm sure.

People get sick of being bored and indignant all the time; I wonder if that (besides the moral and credibility issues) has been part of the Democrat's trouble of late?

How many talk shows do you know who get calls from a sitting Vice-President, Speaker of the House or Chairman of the Dept. of Defense?
Lots of people pay attention to what Rush has to say these days; hey - try it; you might like it too!
