The "Rush" ans are Coming

This man is frightening. I do wish he would do something about those awful ties and his putrid politics. That such hate and disregard for mankind exists in one human being is beyond me.

Growing up, I always wished that our family was Republican because we wanted to hang onto our amassed millions. Instead our family politics ran down the rigid backbone of the moral majority. 

It wasn't until I was much older that I thought to ask, "Who made you my moral majority anyway?" I don't remember casting a vote.

Then, more than a decade ago, my adult self chose a different party than the one handed to me by my parents. And, every time Rush opens his mouth, I know I made the right choice.

Talk show hosts and commentators on both the right and the left go too far. They have to. It is how ratings are built. They say the things that offend people to the core. But, there is always the danger of going too far. Just ask Howard Stern. Imus. Jimmy the Greek.

Rush mocking the condition of Michael J. Fox. Rush encouraging a parody of Obama to the tune of "Puff the Magic Dragon." Rush saying he hopes Obama fails. (later amended to say "I hope his policies fail.") These are just a few highlights of a career littered with bitterness and pockmarked with pain.

How far is too far? And, when will we say ENOUGH of your silly ties?
