For 30 or so years, from his perch behind the golden EIB microphone, Rush Limbaugh served not so much as the conscience of the Republican Party as its captain on the playing field.
Having done daily talk radio myself for five years, I had a keen appreciation of just how well Rush did what he did. If his critics held his lack of a college degree against him, I saw it as a strength.
Before finding his stride in 1988, Rush struggled. He knew what failure tasted like. In those many years of trial and error, he intuited his way to a philosophy that was rich in common sense. I may have a Ph.D. in American studies, but it was to this college drop-out that I turned for my daily dose of hard-earned wisdom.
