Frum is right to be worried. Conservatives no longegr have intellectuals leading their party. Once upon a time they did but they spent those years in the wilderness. It was only in the late 70’s and early 80’s that they discovered they could use a certain kind of populism to get certain people angry enough to vote, even though most of them wound up voting against their own self-interests. So it’s enjoyable to watch it backfire as their party turns into a clearinghouse of hyperventilating loudmouths.

I love Rush. I think he is the best in the business.

El Rushbo himself says that he is an entertainer and he wants to be able to charge a lot for his ads and for his advertisers to be happy because it is money well spent.

If Rush really wanted to change the world then he could cut back on his ads and take less money.

Rush has often commented that the liberal talk shows all fail.

The reality is that, for whatever reason, talk shows need to be conservative to make money. If half the country is right of center then it should be fairly unusual that 95% (made up stat) of talk show hosts are significantly right of center. Shouldn’t a left of center talk show, at least just one, be somewhat successful?

I think it’s funny how Frum characterizies his hit pieces on Rush and other conservatives as “Frum vs Rush”, etc. He never debated Rush….just wrote a nasty article about him in the leftwing Newsweek that nobody reads. He also acts like he and Ann Coulter have had one on one debates, but they are usually joined by at least two other talking heads. It seems like he’s trying to superficially raise his stature in pundit-land when he says Frum vs Some Conservative Way More Popular than Frum.

As usual, Frum doesn’t disappoint. I can always come here and reliably find him spouting the usual uninformed delusional rubbish.
