So will the illegal drug trade, but it doesn't make it right.

Everyone knows he's a "Big Fat Idiot" and a hypocrite to boot. He's on my list of people to dikpunch.

My hats off to Rush. He knows how to reach lazy people and get them to buy into what he's selling.

I listened to him a good amount one summer at a summer job I had. It was kind of entertaining, I have to admit, albeit in a self-flagellating sort of way. What amazed me most was how he believed he knew everything about everything, no matter how far removed from politics. The most ridiculous example was when he chalked up forest fires out west to the incompetence of the fire fighters and proceeded to describe how he would do it and have it extinguished in no time.

It works. And it pays.

And it's not isolated to his side of the political spectrum, either.

Of all the pundits I really think Rush is the one playing a character.

It all just proves that polarity sells.
