Actually, I tune in if I am near an am radio between 9 and noon, weekdays. I’ve talked about why: the man’s buffonery entertains me. And though he always spouts the same rhetoric and nonsense, none of it seems to stick. What does stick? Well, one thing is his constantly mentioning that he is a Nobel Peace Prize Nominee.
Yes, you read that right. He has been nominated by the Landmark Legal Foundation. Are they a conservative group? Does Rush sit on their advisory board? Why yes, yes of course! This is the group that issue complaints to the IRS about the NEA, claiming that they should not be considered a non-profit, since they have political ties.
But let’s not argue about that. Let’s just point who else has been nominated– and who has won, recent Peace Prizes: Jimmy Carter, Yassar Arafat, Al Gore… these are people that Rush really identifies with, aren’t they?
No.
