RUSH LIMBAUGH’S CRISIS OF CONFIDENCE. Plus this, from the comments: “I think the thing that made Rush so popular was his sense of cheerful optimism. Unlike the O’Reillys and Savages of the world, Rush has always been optimistic about the future. I think that the Obama presidency has been such a disaster of Biblical proportions that Rush is no longer optimistic about the future.” I’m still optimistic. But, yeah, I can see that.
