Rush is a big fat failure
Sure he rules his little radio kingdom and makes loads of money. But each time he has tried to broaden out into the mainstream he has been a complete failure. His Roger Ailes produced syndicate show was a giant load of a bomb. And his short try at sports commentary was a disaster. Any guy sitting on a couch watching his favorite sport can do commentary. Rush blew it.
AND I take it from his serial marriages and drug addiction that he isn't that happy.
Now as the figurehead of the GOP he can be the next Bush, the guy who ruins the party. Talk on Rush.

1. I wish you were right,
but he makes a fortune doing nothing but running his mouth.

I'd say that he has achieved the American Dream, and that makes him a success.

Think there are people here who would trade places with him?

Your post reminds me of the GOPigs who claim victory because no House GOPigs voted for the successful stimulus bill.

2. Yes he is big and fat, but hardly a failure.

3. What I'm saying is
that when he has ventures out beyond his radio world of 3-5 million listeners (the 20 million number includes anyone who listens to him for 15 in a given week)he has utterly failed. I acknowledge that he makes lots of money, but I still contend that he has failed at being more than a RW clown.
