3. Rush knows how to read? |
|
I question that. Do you have a reputable source? Reading takes a certain level of intelligence and from what I've seen and heard of Rush, he's sorely lacking in that department.

"I see some socialist at DU has posted what obviously is some pinko document that is trying to besmirch George W. Bush. Listen friends, my talent on loan from God tells me this document is a piece of trash..."
(Rush's producer tells him through his ear phones that it is a piece of legislation)
"Friends, let's talk about Bill Clinton and Hillary's sex life"
