What DOES dittohead mean genius? I'm curious what you think. You like the show, so you are also a Dittohead. Originally it was those who called in and said "Dittos", meaning I also like the show. Even libs have done so. Now I guess it includes listeneres. Wikipedia has a definition on their Rush Limbaugh site.

Dittoheads Faithful listeners to The Rush Limbaugh Show.[26] As Limbaugh often explains in his books[27] and radio show, these are not necessarily those who agree with his views. Rather, he believes they are people who love the show and what he's doing, and hope he never stops doing it. The term came into use because callers would frequently begin by stating their line-item agreement with the points made by previous callers. One caller simply said "ditto to what those guys said." Thereafter, callers were encouraged to simply say, “Dittos,” and then get right to their point. Thus, long-time listeners would begin their calls with “Dittos, Rush,” leading to the term “dittoheads.” The term is also used pejoratively by critics of Limbaugh, to mock listeners of his show.
