You may well be right. His ego is not just shtick. It's real. And it sometimes clouds his judgment.
Sadly, I think his best days are behind him.
For the first time in the more than two decades I've been listening to him, I think his judgment is seriously clouded right now.
He's obsessed with Trump, and refuses to detail how Trump's views are opposed to everything Rush has stood for.
You can't ignore your core values and stay on the air. He's got to recover from this, or he just may not make it as a serious political commentator. He can stay on as an entertainer, but his authenticity as a spokesman for conservatism is in serious peril.
