Sad...few led their industry more than he did.

WaPo gotta WaPo.

At least they didn't use the word "austere."

Who's going to pick up the mantle?

Steyn?

Who’s going to search the internet for examples of the other tribe celebrating and post them here, so we all know how bad the other tribe is?

Who's never going to acknowledge he belongs to a tribe?

Give me 15 minutes. Gotta deal with a teething toddler, but once he’s down for his nap, I will jump right on that.

The best the NYT could find was a 25-year-old picture of fat Rush:

Sock already made a graceless comment, as usual. I declined to blast him as he deserved.

A man I've never met (or, to be honest, listened to), dies.

Lots of people I've never met get very excited.

Lots of other people I've never met get very angry about the people I've never met getting very excited.

My dog needs walking. I think I might do that. It's a bit chilly out, but it's quite sunny.

Typical. LOL. Word choice depends on what tribe you belong to. News ain’t what it used to be, but on this one their portrayal is fairly accurate.

I think that's doing him a kindness. Those photos were taken before he became such a polarizing nutter.

...and no, I don't think that's out of line to say. His passing doesn't make me a terrible person for believing he had a lot more professional integrity earlier on in his career.

1993 was the first time I ever heard of Rush. He actually opened my eyes a bit as he pointed out all of the clips of Clinton campaign claims against Bush, and then how Clinton actually contradicted his own campaign claims during his inauguration. He played the clips and proved it beyond a doubt. While I never cared for his persona, he did get me to start paying more attention to the lies and hypocrisy on the left.

I've never understood Talk Radio.

Maybe you have to grow up here to really appreciate it, like the NFL and American Cheese Product and Mocha Frappuccino , and concord grapes.

I've come to the conclusion that I'm never going to fit in here.

Pass the Marmite, somebody!

Talk Radio is podcasts. What's not to understand?

Why people listen to it.

[Doctor Phibes]

And there's a lot more to podcasts than Talk Radio, as Rush, and Howie Carr and what-not do.

I like radio where they talk to you, not at you.
