"Most of my critics don’t even listen to me; they are clueless," Limbaugh said. "They just go to Web sites that report what I say out of context. I’m amazed at the Democrats and the media who do not know what’s going on in my world. I know what’s going on in theirs. I study ’em. I watch ’em every day."
Tell me something I don't know, Rush. Except, that it's not out of context is it? Not when there's audio and video clips to go from. :-)
The hubris of this guy is something else, isn't it? Here he is, he's made $400M off the American people who listen to him and the sponsors who handle his program and he confesses it's all for his personal amusement.
What is it going to take to derail this guy?
Indeed, while Limbaugh is first and foremost — he says solely — an entertainer who keeps listeners tuned in, his brand of liberal-baiting, on-air politics has made him a lightning rod. Perhaps the coup de grace came earlier this year, when White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel suggested Limbaugh may well now be the standard-bearer for the Republican Party.
So, he admits he's no great thinker, no expert on policy, politics or government. He's winging it. He just makes up shit and gets paid for it; in my book, that makes him a conman on an enormous scale.
What is it going to take to bring this guy down?~
