…heard a more general story of RW radio possibly changing format and terminating all those creeps?

All I've heard is that radio in general is considering not having any political programming at all. Which takes us back to Dr. Laura (covert RW) type things. Or blather about life style or celebs.

I guess anything is better than Rush and Rushism, but I have no expectation that the left will mount an effective offensive in any massive way. The core works really hard for progressive change, but the whole definition of discourse has been moved way right and most Americans are disengaged.

FOX news is the essence of Rushism and its ratings prevail.

If Rush retires and has more time on his hands, they better seal the borders of the countries that allow sex tourism.
