Harris Poll crowns Rush Limbaugh America's 'least favorite' political pundit

King Blowhard I

Congratulations are in order: By a wide margin, a new Harris Poll has found perennial talk radio blowhard Rush Limbaugh to be the least liked political pundit in the nation. Out of a list of 26 news and punditry fixtures, 46 percent of all respondents picked Rush Limbaugh as their "least favorite." That's a blowhard blowout, right there.

What's more, the feeling is widespread, even among Republicans:

Interestingly, one person is in the least liked top three for all three political parties. For Republicans, the three least liked current affairs personalities are Nancy Grace (25%), Rush Limbaugh (24%) and Chris Matthews (18%). For Democrats, the three news personalities that are the least favorite are Rush Limbaugh (66%), Bill O'Reilly (45%), and Sean Hannity (23%) while for Independents it is Rush Limbaugh (49%), Bill O'Reilly (31%) and Nancy Grace (25%).

Limbaugh apparently has a very small base of actual supporters, but it's still plenty to keep him on the air and rolling in dough. Still, I'm sure he'll be heartbroken to learn that even Republicans aren't really that into him. Then he'll go home to his Florida mansion, or go for a ride in his private jet, or collect a few quivering apologies from a few of the topmost Republican elected officials in the nation because they dared suggest someone, somewhere not do what Rush Limbaugh told them to, and he'll get over it.

Please sign the petition calling on Rush Limbaugh's advertisers to pull their support for his show after his recent, disgusting comments about Georgetown University student Sandra Fluke.
