LOL......I asked him if that means he has not always been a joke?

I love the fact Rush is the new face of the GOP.

He has about 2 million listeners a day. About the same number of people who still have W stickers on their cars and about the same number that still have a favorable opinion of Bush!

A 2007 Rasmussen poll showed a 62% unfavorable opinion of Rush and a 33% favorable. About the same numbers that Bush gets.

So folks, lets keep the Rush stuff going as long as possible!

2. Wrong! 12-14 million a week! Actually 4-14 million a week listen at least once.

3. a deceptive number he throws around
most are listening for a few minutes during drive time
i would not attribute that as the total number of end to end listeners
he says that many listen a day and also claims 20 million a week so his own numbers argue

5. while he does have large numbers the length of the average listener
is extremely short as you say.

11. I have several friends who listen just to laugh at him.
They hate everything Rush stands for, but presumably they count as "listeners" anyway. The crazies are a small minority in this country but boy are they LOUD!

4. Tell your friend that
rush has made himself into the "joke" but Obama and the Dems have busted that "joke" wide open and let some light in.

7. Rush has always been a joke. Now that he is "emporer" of the GOP
everyone gets to see he has no clothes, so to speak.

That analogy makes me want to gag, but it is fitting.

He is being exposed for the drug-addled gasbag he has always been.

We need to keep beating the drum that he is the leader of the GOP...it's a winner!

9. No, no, no...Rush does a splendid job of that all by himself.
The Dems are just trying to give him a little more sunshine.
