- I won't apologize for Rush.
-
- I did not see the show in question. I am disappointed that such things
- happened on his show, but again I can't watch it since I've got classes.
-
- I don't know how long that incident was on the show. It is possible that
- that part could have been edited out, but knowing Rush through the radio
- show, cutting and pasting his show is like cutting the middle section of
- a mystery novel: the whole thing would make no sense if that happened.
-
- As for taping the show, generally you can only afford one take of a talk
- show. I can't imagine David Letterman's show going through three takes
- (unless it's his viewer mail stuff) to complete his show. Mistakes
- unfortunately do happen in TV, and if the switcher in the control room
- deliberately erred, he should be reprimanded or fired.
