I predict that Rush will open his show with a mea culpa and a 30 minute apology (I WAS WRONG)

Rush's ship is now taking on water and he is scared that his good ship
"The S.S. Oxy" might really sink. The story is now growing faster than
he can control it and he knows that.

I might have to listen to his opening to listen to that pig squirm and beg for his job.

Oh well, Rush has been spreading hate and anger against "those people"
for years and now the old karma train is coming and he is tied to the
R x R track. I will always remember Rush's joy on covering Bill Clinton's
B.J. hearings .... I hope he is in a world of hurt. The man really has been a
cancer on American and he has gotten away w/ too much for too long under
the cover the he is "just an entertainer."

EDIT ... i was wrong rush avoided the subject. Botany =

The top Republicans have nothing but smoochy-faces for Rush. Or very tepid almost-criticism at best.

Nope, the only motivation for another attempt at a Rush apology is the money running out the door.

"everyone is attacking me wah wah wah" fest.

He is a narcissist, megalomaniac...and a very, very sick and disturbed "person".

on another post, Rush is one of those who equates apologizing with losing, and he just doesn't have it in him.

I doubt he will double down on the apology. I bet he goes on the attack on how his sincere apology was rejected, and it is now all about destroying him.

Democrats in the media have made the mistake of not articulating his complete sentences in his attacks. It was not about a couple of words. It was about asking Fluke to put videos online. It was about saying the Georgetown women were having so much sex they could not pay for it. etc. Repeating the statement is very important - it leaves him without wiggle room. His half hearted statement well I got my info from such and such website just won't cut it. He does have talent on loan from God. If he is going to go on a three day attack fest, then he should do a little research first.

.... kept talking about how important and powerful women are and some
made up problem about the American diet.


* maybe he will touch the subject of his conduct later but I can't listen to
him for more than a few minutes. Although he is now up to 26 sponsors that have
now left his company .... if that keeps up he will have to do more to stop the bleeding.

9. He's too pompous for that. He honestly believes he's right.

And he probably believes that this will all blow over and his faithful advertisers will all come back.
