Flaming Nazi Gasbag
What's the difference between Rush Limbaugh and the Hindenberg? One's a flaming Nazi gasbag, and the other one's a zeppelin.
I think I have mentioned before my spectacularly stupid coworker (actual, I think I've mentioned several, but in this case I mean the pear-shaped one who calls her husband several times a day to discuss the appetite and bowel movements of her dog) who sits in the next cube. She listens to Rush, pretty much every day. I have a large collection of CDs in self-defense, though I fear the others in the office may eventually tire of Rush, Blue Oyster Cult, Kiss and Bon Jovi.
What puzzles me is how any basically decent person--which she is, despite having maybe three neurons to rub together--can listen to that tripe. Sure, I'm a lot more liberal than many, and a person with some sense of morality can agree with some of Limbaugh's (stated) positions honestly. But...he lies. All the time, he lies. He lies like a rug, lies like a dog, you can tell he's lying because his lips are moving. And he's evil--by which I mean he doesn't care what happens to anyone he doesn't consider important, and the list of people he considers important is so very short, and he actively encourages others to act in ways that are detrimental to everyone but that short list--even if they're not on it themselves.
I know the woman's stupid, but how can you look around at the real world and reconcile what Limbaugh says with what actually exists? If things were as bad as he says, we'd all be dead.
