Lets face it, Clinton made Rush rich and now that he is gone he has not stopped talking about Clinton. When will the right let go of Clinton and let there own self healing begin? So much hate!

A rant about a right-wing blowhard talling about a mediocre ex-President. Sound like great P&N discussion material to me!

I think it would be a charitable description, assuming that's what you're implying. GHWB was mediocre; GWB is considerably below that level IMO.

When you listen to these televagengelists on the religious channels, their audiences listen with rapt attention, nodding their heads, and slurping up every word.
When I listen to Rush, I can't help but wonder what some of his listeners are doing. Are they slurping it up, as if everything he says is the gospel truth?
Just to be fair and balanced I try to listen to Al Franken and others at Air America, but I find them boring.

I think it's safe to say that GHWB was mediocre... as was Clinton, although he resided over pretty good times overall. He might be seen like a 20s president, roaring times, yet doing nothing to stem the tide of problems.
Dubya however, encountered serious, historical situations... and his actions will take years to decipher. His legacy is wide open IMO.

Right...
Like when he lied about the Kofi "antisemetic" speech.
Oops.
What a wonderful drug addicted liar.
I'm not advocating Rush, but if you're referring to today's broadcast (podcast available) he may be going on about Clinton but he's using current material; his cited references are from current media. And, Clinton's not exactly avoiding the spotlight now is he.
The real question here should be; why do you give a rip what Rush says. Further, why do you characterize the "Right" by putting a magnifying glass on Rush?
Talk about hate? Look at the unusual fixation the Left has on Bush. A sensible person who wants to push a liberal agenda might be interested in putting their effort into getting their next candidate groomed for election or focusing on discrediting the Republican ideology as a whole; but no - very specific and narrowly focused attention on GWB himself is what you see any day of the week. Not that I mind... Stay focused on Bush, by all means.

Well said.
All I here these days is how Bush is so bad, yet the left has yet to do two fundamental things: find a candidate and promote them, and talk about the changes they would make. When I talk about changes, I don't mean stating how they'd do things after something has happened, but speak out and say how they would handle things going forward.
The left will lose the next direction because they have yet to prove their ideals work and they have yet to stand out and say what they will do; too easy to attack other people for their ideals than create your own.

I am referring to every broadcast. I work only 7 miles from my apartment and in the time it takes me to drive home (15mins) I listen to the show. Everyday Rush brings up Clinton, this is not some current news item but a sick fasination. Rush's format really needs to evolve because he cannot blaim everything on Clinton anymore (even though he still trys).
As for Bush, I didnt even mention him. Personally I believe that he has been less then effective this second term in getting his agenda pushed though congress that is controled by his party. I think part of it is because he was too ambitious comming out right after the elections to push social security reform and a tax reform. I am still waiting on the health care policies that he ran his campain on to be debated... Truely though, is the left's hatred for bush anything greater then the rights hatred of Clinton? I dont think it is.

Not that most any premise in PN deserves a serious response, but here you go.
Rush is rich. Duh. He got that way by finding a group of people he could stir up and get to listen to him. These folks have certain things they want to hear, and he fills their need. In other words, he's found a viable market to sell his wares. He's making a mint and effectively being paid to say what he does.
The Rush supporters want to hear bad things about the left, and good things about the right, or at least about the current administration. So he hits on Clinton, Kennedy, and others because they are most visible, and in truth Kennedy is pretty slimey, much more than Clinton. Consequently he will always do what he does. Make money, and that is by saying things, and as Pabster demonstrates people will buy it at truth, in spite of the fact that many of his fallacies are so easily shown up as deception. He's not there to sell truth, but to sell what Pabster wants to hear.
He's an entertainer, and I often find him amusing. Rush too

Just like Al Franken, right?

I hate to bust your balls but I haven't listened to Rush for YEARS. I just find it amusing that he stirs up the liberals so much.
He does not stir me up. I just think for a man with "talent on loan from god" that he could find new material..
