The absolute worst thing about rush being gone is that they are positioning Ben “Muh Polls” Shapiro to be his replacement on the right. That is fucking insulting to Rush and his legacy.
We can talk about replacements and all that but the fact is, the minute Rush goes to be with The Lord, the EIB Network is a memory. Mark Steyn is delightful and a wonderful fill-in host but he is not Rush. Ben Shapiro, I don't know why but I'm not a fan. I mean, if you are a long time fan you know the whole EIB Network thing started out as a sort of goof because of this whole "you have to be a network" thing. I seriously doubt the EIB Network continues very long without Rush at the helm. I remember back in the late 90's early 2000's, I thought EIB was going to become a sort of minor leagues/training ground for up and coming talk show hosts to gain experience under someone like Rush. I thought EIB would become a network that would gain airtime on radio stations and grow "the brand". Nope, EIB has always been and will always be Rush Limbaugh.
That's insane. Especially when you've got so many other better choices. Mark Levin comes to mind. He's no Rush, but he's infinitely better than Ben Shapiro. Ben doesn't talk to people, he talks down to them.

OMG I hope not. I would love to see Steyn take over.
Yeah, Steyn is the guy for sure. He is a great stand-in host every time he is on.

Bennie needs to back the fuck off.
Please no, this is a travesty
