I rank him right up there with O'Reilly and Coulter. They behave as if they've never gone to school. All of these people do a reasonably good job of articulating what is wrong with liberalism. All are sometimes off base. Wrong only by your own standards. Coulter is abrasive. O'Reilly is arrogant. But Limbaugh, for the most part, is just downright great entertainment (for a while; after a while, it gets dull like anything else). I hate he has this damned drug problem, he has been hurt badly by it, but will recover. Great entertainment should not get dull. "Friends" is great entertainment and it rarely gets dull. Ditto for "SNL", "I Love Lucy" reruns, "Carol Burnett" reruns. Rush is a wart on the land. His message is strident, abrasive and divisive. That's why it dulls and not because its great entertainment.The reason Limbaugh will recover is because his constituents are intelligent, reasonable, thoughtful people who appreciate his ability to cut through the liberal bullsh*t and tell it like it is. If Limbaugh's audience is as you describe them, then there is little hope for this nation.It literally takes someone like Limbaugh, on the air 3 hours a day, to set straight all the lies generated by the liberals. His handling of topics and groups like Clinton's chronic lying and the National Organization for Women is just a breath of fresh air. Truth. That's all we want. The only lies I see are coming from the right........WMD, Iraq, al Qaeda links, global warming etc. As you've made clear by your own admission (that you believe CNN is unbiased), many liberals don't know the truth when they hear it. You guys listen to CNN or CBS or MSNBC and think you know what is going on. Until Fox, we had no resource other than Limbaugh for getting accurate news accounts free of liberal lies. What I do know is that listening to most of FOX News does not get me the truth. You know how I know that? They usually correct themselves a few days later. I have never seen a major news organization consistently make as many gaffes as they do. The fact that FOX is the best the right can do in this country speaks volumes about the right. You got lucky and 2000 was your big break.........and now Bush is blowing for you. Enjoy it while it lasts!
