I notice that he’s had Rush Limbaugh as a guest on his show. The day after the show aired, Rush was cagey about Drew’s political beliefs. However, many callers stated (in so many words) “Well, Rush, he had you on his show, fer Chrissake!” Rush responded to such calls by basically saying that his appearance on the show was basically a publicity stunt for both parties (himself and Drew) and that nothing should be read into it.
Next week Ben Stein is going to be a guest.
