Zev Chafets Delivers Masterpiece On Limbaugh
Elective Decisions ^ | 7/4/08 | Chris Davis

Posted on 07/03/2008 9:45:16 PM PDT by writer33

Palm Beach–In what could only have been deteremined as a yet another hit piece by the New York Times, Zev Chafets, delivered a masterpiece in his 8,000 words on Rush Limbaugh. There are certain times that many pieces of literary work should be written.

I can think of no better time than the Fourth of July to publish this excellent piece. The piece is a study of Limbaugh, his lifestyle, an abbreviated life history, and his stance on many issues. It flashes back and forth throughout his life, but gives Americans a better understanding of what Rush LImbaugh does and why he does it.

The recipe is laid out very simply: One part determination, two parts hard work, and one giant pair of brass cajones.

There is also another part - Limbaugh is a huge talent.

Many have aspired to fill his shoes, left and right. It’s not possible.

It seemed reasonably fair...or as fair as the New York Times is capable of being.

A concern of mine is that some liberal nut job will try to harm Rush.

Don't worry. The actual location is still a closely guarded secret. The Limbaugh staff is carefully screened and sworn to secrecy. And I'm sure Chafets has been warned of the terrible fate facing him if he spilled the beans on where the building is.

I can’t believe I read a NYT article in entirety without standing up and screaming, “Those lying SOBs!”

However, it does seem to me the reporter is trying to start a fight between Rush and other talk show hosts. O’Reilly is a bulldog, and he isn’t going to enjoy being called “Ted Baxter” at all.

And it was marvelous that he let this part make the final cut:

[At dinner the night before, Bill O’Reilly’s name came up, and Limbaugh expressed his opinion of the Fox cable king. He hadn’t been sure at the time that he wanted it on the record. But on second thought, “somebody’s got to say it,” he told me. “The man is Ted Baxter.”]

Rush is just Rush; nothing else is remotely like it, I sometimes regret not listening anymore.

Destiny, like the character in Bad Day at Black Rock, has assigned me to the depths of apathy.
