Rush was very much an establishment kind of guy. He reminded me a bit of William F. Buckley. You never saw either of them without a suit and tie. Both preached a kind of liberalized conservatism that played the game with the war industry and the media. Both were a little too slick for my taste, but I have to admit, Rush had class.
Buckley was a bit slick, especially when on TV interviews. But he was 4 times the intellectual that Rush was. I am from Missouri and never could stand pompous loquacious Rush. He preyed on foolish/frustrated old Reaganites and hooked them into supporting Dubya.
Buckley sold out America First for (((conservatism))) and was heavily connected with the CIA.
You betcha. Nice work if you can get it. Remembering his sycophantic adulation of the NFL. Not a fan of either.
Had a friend that was a photographer/journalist that I knew from Mizzou back when they and Journ School was decent. He had lowly job with KC, Kansas paper "The Kansan" back in early 1980s, but covered some of same sports events as Rush. Said it was all he could do to keep his 6'3" 250lb. body from knocking that turd over for his behavior in press room.
impossible 2 believe wasn’t “in the know” where mechanics and operators of the Babylon system are concerned. 2 each his own but no hero 2 me.
