I talked to him once.Didn’t always agree with him but always appreciated how good he was at his craft. It amazes me that certain people can just talk for 4 hours every day and still be popular. He had such a great voice which is always underrated in my opinion. Just heard he wasn’t a college grad.
Just curious as I didn’t listen to him much - what positions did he take that were over the top?I talked to him once.
Another life ago. He did have a good radio voice. He went way too far off the deep end for me awhile ago but that seems to be a running theme with me these past 20ish years.
I'd be lying if I gave you a list. I can't remember the last time I listened to him and couldn't tell you what the final straw was either to be honest. Like I said, another life ago.Just curious as I didn’t listen to him much - what positions did he take that were over the top?
Then dont post anything. Seriously.The single most responsible person for the political mess that we find ourselves in today. I blame him more than anyone else for many of our current misfortunes, so it would be very hypocritical for me to say kind words about him now.

I will say this: he was one of the great innovators in history, a genius in his field who did it better than anyone else. Condolences to his family.
It's your opinion and you are entitled to it, but your first sentence is hogwash (IMHO).The single most responsible person for the political mess that we find ourselves in today.

Delete your post then and sit this one out. GeezThe single most responsible person for the political mess that we find ourselves in today. I blame him more than anyone else for many of our current misfortunes, so it would be very hypocritical for me to say kind words about him now.

There was another guy from Georgia? I think that we would listen to... Neal Borts? He was funnier.RIP and condolences to his family. Spent many an afternoon listening to him on the radio from noon-three in our small office where I worked as an accountant's assistant in my late twenties and early thirties. He was on the downswing then, his show and delivery not as vital, marred by scandal and approbation. I miss that place and that time, not for the politics of Rush or talk radio, but for the memories it invokes and the people involved. Plus, I was young and still had hope.
I wouldn't really know. It wasn't the talk radio content per se, it was the size of the office, the familial quality of it -- that you listened to controversial shows that you didn't necessarily agree with (or that you did) and everyone had differing opinions on each topic, but nobody made too much of their own personal baggage or, heck, nobody even mentioned or talked about what was coming out of the portable transistor the sixty year-old secretary had at her desk; and there was a sense of quiet belonging and common purpose at hand. Just a nice place to be at for a while after a tumultuous mid-twenties. Probably saved my life.There was another guy from Georgia? I think that we would listen to... Neal Borts? He was funnier.
Bortz was funnier than Hannity and Rush by far - he was smarter than both of them (IMO) and also meaner, more sarcastic and he acted like he pretty much hated everybody. All 3 were on WSB radio in Atlanta - Bortz and Hannity being from the station and Rush syndicated.There was another guy from Georgia? I think that we would listen to... Neal Borts? He was funnier.
Yeah - I still remember his skit on the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide. Giggling even thinking about it.Bortz was funnier than Hannity and Rush by far - he was smarter than both of them (IMO) and also meaner, more sarcastic and he pretty much hated everybody.

Gotta love it-don't agree with a person so blame him. Rachael Maddow would be proud.I’m glad his voice will no longer contribute to the division in America.
I'm the same way thinking about the Glenn Beck lose weight using cocaine skit. Freaking hilariousYeah - I still remember his skit on the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide. Giggling even thinking about it.
You have to be a real ghoul to immediately take this opportunity to get in a shot. It’s best to say nothing and move along.Delete your post then and sit this one out. Geez
When someone wants to show you who they are, believe them.Two classless people so far in here.
I certainly didn't agree with everything he had to say, but he was undoubtedly a genius in what he did and has had a huge impact on the fabric of the US. We are poorer without his talent around. Condolences to his family.
Tim being TimYou should try to be more Jewish. Don't speak ill of the dead.
I'd like to tell you this is your crappiest I've ever read by you.
You should have said nothing.

Agreed.You have to be a real ghoul to immediately take this opportunity to get in a shot. It’s best to say nothing and move along.
Rediculous. Can't you have a bit of respect.I’m glad his voice will no longer contribute to the division in America.
Do we not think we should aim to be better than Trump?But it’s okay for Trump to speak ill of just about everyone? Living, dead, women, men, abled, disabled? Why is everyone okay with that? Just curious.
Maybe not within the first hour of the news of his death, at the least, would be good.Can we just agree that it's bad form to speak ill of the dead?
Whataboutism in an obituary thread.But it’s okay for Trump to speak ill of just about everyone? Living, dead, women, men, abled, disabled? Why is everyone okay with that? Just curious.
Surprised he pulled the plug on it so soon. It was quite entertaining. Not sure when he took the turn from political comedy to being mean for lack of a better term. His empire was built on his creative political humor and satire. IMO he just rode his own coattails after Clinton moved on. He was at his best when the opposition was in power and became unlistenable when his guys were in power. I'm wondering if some of the late night guys struggle with this as Trump becomes a memory and we get deeper in the Biden years.His TV show was a staple in the fraternity house. Pretty entertaining, tbh. Net worth of $500mm. Hard to achieve that sort of number without being tops in your craft.
I actually don't feel the need to call out a dead man for bad behavior. He's dead. It won't change it. It won't affect anything.
Were you this upset when Trump denigrated John McCain after his death?Do we not think we should aim to be better than Trump?
Why is Trump's behavior the new standard? Can we STOP making every thread about Trump Trump Trump.
This place is unbearable because we can't talk about any issue without it turning into "Well Trump did this and you guys wanna clutch your pearlz now? Lol you hyprocritez!!111
Can we just agree that it's bad form to speak ill of the dead? Or are we going to let Trump define the standard?
