Just why they’re still pimping for him has to be one of the mysteries of the age. Just look at his eco-vid. I’d vote for Oba
Rush has already acknowledged and disapproved of Newt’s aisle-crossing.
Oh thank God Pope Rush had something to say on the matter.
Pope?
Just why they’re still pimping for him
Who is pimping for him?

You are being unfair and are mistaken. Rush was not handed this position as your statement implies. He created this market from scratch. Though there were several rightist talk shows, they were locally-based. Rush built a syndicated network. This is doubly significant since he did it based on ideas and the notion that ideas matter. Now we may discagree with those ideas but you have to give him his props, if only in recognition of “If you don’t give the devil his due, there will be Hell to pay”
Beyond that, he has some use: He’s starting to question the validity of “sacrifice”. The only other big time talk show host to do this was David Brudnoy. He jas also introduced some folks to Atlas Shrugged and he promotes the virutes of productive work, achievement and a rudimentary graspp of the value of principles. Would you rather not have these things promoted on a wide scale?
In terms of media, he’s an intellectual giant and he proved there’s a large market for ideas and made big coin doing it so he proved capitalism works in the field of ideas.
There’s a lot to admire there and some things to like. More often than not, flippancy is the loud noise of the unwise.
