It didn't just start with Rush's calling a Georgetown University Law School student a slut. His numbers of listeners has been dropping before that, but that despicable misstep seems to have landed him skiddingly on a banana peel.
Since then more than 100 advertisers have dissociated themselves from Rush's show. Two radio stations have dropped his program.
And now he has competition from the kinder, gentler Mike Huckabee, whose radio talk show began yesterday airing at the same time. Huckabee is being billed as the "safer alternative" conservative voice.
Rush will always appeal to those who get their kicks from listening to trash talk. But Rush will never regain the power he once had. Remember a couple of years ago when he was considered to have power in Republican politics? I don't think that's true any more.
It's about time.
