I can remember listening to Rush early-on and finding him an obnoxious radio personality. He does get quite "thin" and nonstimulating with time.

In my new job, I make veterinary hospital calls with the marketing head for this lab and he LOVES Rush! Now I am a captive audience. I think Rush has mellowed over the time Clinton has been in office. I still dislike what he claims to believe most of the time, but he no longer stimulates me to argue back!
