It's nice to know that even self-aggrandizing buffoons can do some good in the world occasionally though.

This is what I don't get (and up front I want to say that I am not trying to insult ANYONE by this, only throwing it out for further debate. politely

Yes, Rush does tend to think highly of himself, or at least act that way as part of his show and celebrity.. certainly not the first or the last, and certainly not the worst. But does this make him a buffoon? I argue that this opinion is short sighted on your part. Again, hoping to make this only an opposing viewpoint without getting into name-calling or pissed off feelings afterwards...
Rush, IMHO, is actually quite brilliant. I certainly do not agree with everything he says, and would venture to guess that he and I have some difference in personal values, but that does not make him a buffoon. Even if you are completely against everything he stands for, you would still have to surmise that he is pretty freaking intelligent and saavy to have buiilt the mulitmillion dollar empire he has without a college education, or even a product to sell. He really does not even offer much of a service for his income, other than offering commentary on political and current events. I have a hard time seeing how anyone can consider this accomplishment "buffoonery".
Just my humble 2 cents worth...
