Rush Limbaugh is fun to watch or listen to, in the way that the Three Stooges were fun to watch or listen to. He has no clue as to what is going on and no idea wherein lies the truth, and he really doesn’t care, so long as he is watched and heard. Rush Limbaugh is an absolute idiot, as far as politics, the economy, conservatism, or what really matters to the American people are concerned; he is a genius at showmanship, hate and fear mongering, and the construction of mountains from molehills. He is also expert in rumor generation, propaganda promulgation, and disinformation dissemination, as well as character assassination, and lie dispensing.
On a recent show, as a case in point, Rush elaborated on a plan posited by Teresa Ghilarducci, professor of economic-policy analysis at the New School for Social Research in New York, as if this one obscure professor’s plan constituted the whole of Obama economic policy. Rush has spoken as if this single professor, who has no role in, and no connection to, neither past nor present, the Obama campaign, the Obama transition, or the Obama Presidency, is the individual who will be in charge of re-vamping social security. He is outraged that this woman’s plan calls for a nationalization of 401(k)’s requiring employees to place their retirement money into government bonds. While this one professor’s plan amounts to as much, her work is published in an obscure leftist periodical that gets little real traffic, and again, she has no connection, past, present, and probably future, to Obama. This is nothing more than a Rush Limbaugh standard tactic of making up the news where there is none.
Rush Limbaugh is in no way conceivable a journalist, Rush is a shock jock. He has no qualifications whatsoever and seems perennially, fundamentally incapable of telling the truth. His projections and pontifications are proven wrong, like the case in point referenced above, something close to 98% of the time. Rush Limbaugh briefly attended Southeast Missouri State University where, according to his mother, he flunked everything, including Modern Ballroom Dance. Southeast Missouri State University is an unknown school, and like most unknown schools, it is exceptional. Exceptionally easy to excel in, but Rush couldn’t hack it; he couldn’t handle the requirements of a school, that, in its undergraduate role, has no national ranking. Ergo, Rush has no legitimate talent, intellect, education, or training in any area of honest enterprise. So, much like Pamela Anderson, he is an entertainer.
As an entertainer is the only way in which Rush should be taken; his espoused views on so many topics are not the product of any education or information. Rush Limbaugh’s frequent rantings on topics of politics and the economy, as well as religion, are the product of an undisciplined, ill-trained, inadequate mind coupled with an overbearing ego. He is not to be taken at his word, and any who seek to find truth or news from him will be deceived. He can entertain, if only to witness the incredible delusional mental gyrations he must perform to arrive at his always ill-founded, most usually fraudulent conclusions.
