I am just now beginning to look at the comments, so maybe others have brought this up, but I quit listening to Limbaugh after I finally got tired of hearing him say, “I was born to host and you were born to listen.” What an insulating SOB thing to say, as though the listenership was composed of blobs with craniums just waiting to be filled with the Words of the Master.
That and the many times he has claimed to be infallible finally exceeded my interet in his political analysis.
A**hole!
He does that to insulate himself from the Rio Linda types.
Rush’s ego trip is a ruse that pokes fun at liberal broadcasters.
It’s also a prediction of sorts of what liberal pundits will say whenever conservatives happen to trump them. The lefties will always trot out the “puppetmaster Rush and his robotic, brainwashed listeners” narrative (which is actually a Leninist projection - accuse your enemy of your own sins).
Rush used this to great effect shortly after Obama took office. Obama himself pulled out this very narrative I just mentioned, and Rush took all the heat and just laughed in the Democrats’ stupid faces, because it gave him more listeners and it distracted the Dems from doing anything productive (read: truly harmful).
