THANK G0D

Get well Rush.

Amen brother.

Do you consider Michael Moore a political figure?

I think Moore qualifies. He's been around for a bit, clearly has a political agenda, and has a sizeable number of followers.

Talking heads on cable news networks, I don't know. Most of them don't have an impact on the political landscape unless they are heavy hitters, like Ann Coulter, Tucker Carlson, or James Carville (for example).

I think that when you are popular enough to have sizeable numbers of followers/fans, that grants you an ability to shape debate and perception and thus gives you some political clout.

You don't have to be a politician to be a political figure.

Ol Rush really needs to heed the call and slim up. I can't believe that this is the first heart-related incident we've heard of when it comes to Limbaugh. He's been a large man for years, hard to imagine that this is his first brush with chest pains. Probably wouldn't hurt to give those cigars up too.

Tucker Carlson a heavy hitter?

Tucker Carlson a heavy hitter?

Obviously nowhere big as Rush. But as in notable and wields some clout, yeah. He's certainly a bigger name commentator than the random columnist from the Skokie paper or some editorial guy from the NYT that 99% of americans have never heard of.

Why the big question as to what constitutes or doesn't constitute a political figure in this thread? I don't get it.

Do you consider Michael Moore a political figure?

Neither Rush or Michael Moore are political figures. Neither are the talking heads at the cable news networks.

I'd have to disagree.
Not elected officials and not the poorly-hidden-agenda-driven reporters, their forays aren't into the entertainment field, where they pretend they're not biased they're clearly agenda driven and focused on political issues and not much else, making them political figures.
