Reply #26: Rush is an asshole, but he's a successful asshole

[AntiCoup2K4]

Like it or not, he's at least partially responsible for the right wing assault on the media in the last decade. So while what he says may be disgusting, it is none the less effective. Rush's delivery sells his right wing spew. He pisses people off, and that's why it works for him.

If Ed Schultz, or Randi, for that matter, get as many people pissed at Junior as Rush did at Clinton, I would say they were doing their jobs.

And just in the interests of full disclosure, I don't listen to either show on a regular basis, since streaming apps don't work that well in the office.
