That such a simple "analogy" could "trip you up" into a vision of "packaging" is disappointing. You appear, usually, to be smarter than that. As for the packaging thing, are you saying that Rush is packaging himself as mean? Or is that just another way for you to pile on the inaccurate names that you call him?

It's called an analogy, I keep forgetting that they tend to trip you up.

You stated, and I quote, "Rush is simply a porn merchant,"--other than being a direct accusation, how, except in some twisted, hateful, way am I supposed to see that as an "analogy"? And what is it an analogy to? To his being mean, ascerbic, politically incorrect, abrasive? How is porn analogous to any of that? Or is that yet again another way for you to pile on the inaccurate names that you call him? Or are you trying to squirm out of the embarrasment of hearing porn when you listen to rush? Which is why I asked if his program sexually arouses you?
