33. There is entertainment value in someone insulting your opponents

I enjoy it too. By the posts on DU, we all enjoy it.

But the secret of Rush, I think, is that he never attempts anything else. Think of what Rush DOESN'T do. He doesn't have guests. He doesn't discuss policy except in the most broad terms. Oh, he will discuss votes and nominations in terms of us vs. them, but not in any depth. And he never says anything that the audience can take as less than a compliment to their goodness and smarts.

If your goal was to build an army of mindless, kneejerk haters who will never turn the dial, that's the way you do it.
