I haven't paid any attention to him for a long time, but he has in the past. The infamous segment on his tv show where he showed a picture of, a then 12 year old, Chelsea Clinton, and called her the white house dog.
His excuse was just as offensive, he claimed an engineer put up the wrong picture, but at the time, the Clintons didn't have a dog, so what picture was supposed to be put up? And of course, the show wasn't live, it was taped, so if it was a mistake, why wouldn't he fix it before it aired?
At that time, I was pretty apolitical, and I thought Rush's show was funny, and I didn't take him seriously, but after that, I knew what kind of mean spirited piece of crap he really was. It was this kind of mean spirited, hate filled, behavior that convinced me to become a democrat. Not that they're any great shakes, but the alternative is a party represented by some of the most unpleasant people imaginable.
