Rush Limbaugh writes much better than his public rhetoric would indicate. I think he writes with clarity, his positions for the most part are reasonable and understandable -- of course, within the context of a conservative’s point of view.
Having said that, however, his public rhetoric is precisely rant, and bombastic. His radio show, public appearances, his speech at this year’s Republican National Convention, is where he seems to wear a different hat, although still conservative, by going ballistic with a conservative tantrum and a great deal of hyperbole.
Rush Limbaugh has a lot to offer to the conservative viewpoint if he would just refrain from his radio style and adopt his writing style in rhetoric form in all his work. Of course, his writing style does not lend itself very well to radio discourse that would garner entertaining viewer participation and maintain or increase his program ratings.
