I really don't get a lot of what Rush Limbaugh has to say. And I'd like to think it's mostly because I'm just not that dumb. But sometimes, it's even harder than usual for me to understand, unless I stop and remind myself that it's a show. Like most of the wingnut junk out there, it's just a show. The fact that millions of rubes gobble it up and then make voting decisions based on this bullshit is a disaster worthy of George Carlin's fondest imaginings, but that's a different puddle of puke waiting for us at a different subway station.
Today's wonderment is: Limbaugh is always on some kind of rant about Political Correctness, but if he's so dead set against it, then why does he so often use the terminologies of Political Correctness? In this clip, he even goes so far as to manufacture a phrase like "British African-Americans".
The guy is an obvious phony, but when I remember that he's been at it for 25 years - and that he's amassed a personal fortune of $400M doing it - I have to stand in awe of that level of hucksterism.
