Well, and I know you didn't address me, I HAVE listened to Limbaugh for 15 years or more. He has indeed changed, IMO. Or at least his on-air persona has changed, and not for the better.
He USED to be a staunch conservative and had a lot of well thought and reasonable positions. Until he became, by his own description, a "water carrier" for the GOP.
He's a very smart man, but he hasn't really been a "leader" among conservatives. He has seemingly adapted to his increasingly far right audience. Of course that's where his paycheck is and I can never blame him for that. Hell, for the money he makes, I'd wear George Bush's underwear on my head in Times Square at high noon on national TV!
But in my view he is no longer the rational voice of conservatives and a foil of the left wing, and is now a mouthpiece for the far right. It sells, of course, but that doesn't make it good.
