jay,

Why do you think Rush is so coy about describing the adaptive devices or
techniques and how he does his show, especially how he now interacts with
callers without hearing them?  Is it a matter of keeping the focus of his
program on political issues and not on his personal life or is it about
how he interacts with his own disability?  I think we are all faced with
the question of not wanting people to be more interested in our tools for
independence and adaptive techniques than they are in us as people.

I think you are judging Stu's response too harshly. Rush Limbaugh is
someone who has made a huge fortune pretending to be an expert on just
about everything. Now, he has the opportunity to teach people in the same
frightening situation that he is in about current technology and what
options they have. Instead, he is coy about the adaptive devices and
techniques that he is already using and about how he will do his show in
the future. Stu's response combined frustration and disgust very well. He
knows that Rush will go on unhindered because only what rush says matters
to Rush.Go Stu!
