Cranking Up the Masses
I'm on vacation this week, so I've had the pleasure opportunity to listen to Rush Limbaugh — at least, as much of him as I can stand.
I've been listening to today's bombast for all of three minutes, and already I've been subjected to a mind-numbing preview of what the next four years will be like at the Excellence In Broadcasting network:
Boo! The sky is falling and it's all Obama's fault! The economic crisis is now the "Obama recession" (and soon to be "a depression") because stocks have dived in the last two days. Geez, I know Limbaugh listeners will never be known for their mental abilities, but doesn't he think they can remember as far back as last week?
Boo! Our mean, scary enemies are kicking sand in Obama's face! The report that Vladimir Putin is plotting to return as president is proof positive that our enemies see Obama as a pushover. Limbaugh likens Putin to a football coach who comes out of retirement because the schedule for the next four years looks like "a cakewalk."
Boo! Those two-faced traitors in the party are beating up Sarah! How dare those hateful "McCain moderates" trash Sarah Palin, his pinup girl for 2012.
Limbaugh is a dangerous demagogue who'll be whipping the dittoheads into a frenzy for the next four years. Frankly, he scares the hell out of me.
