You might say that "Rush has a solid platform that he stands on and you always know what side of the fence he will be on in an issue."
I'd rather put it as "predictably towing the party line, totally lacking the ability to thoughtfully consider his own prejudices and biases".
Surely somewhere there's a political figure who is neither a mindless demagogue nor an invertebrate poll worshipper?

Moore's a rabble-rouser, Franken, at heart, is really an academic. A damn funny academic.

Re: Party line

Why is it absurd? Can you give me a single example of Rush examining his own prejudices? You seem to think that going into addiction treatment after being exposed in the press as a drug abuser counts as an example. Pardon me if I don't.
I'm going out on a limb here. Surely, the man must be capable of this, right? Surely there must be one sure example of self-reflection on this man's part. One time where he said, "Gosh, I was wrong. I guess I was being just too darn knee-jerk conservative".
But I'll bet you a nickel you can't find any such public statement.
