(CNN) -- It seems like the whole world knows all about Barack Obama, so let me introduce you to the anti-Obama, the second most interesting man in American politics. Rush Limbaugh: Whether or not you agree with him he's something to hear.
Rush Limbaugh isn't black, slim, stylish or well schooled. He's a Republican with no elected office but a powerful hold on his party and a place in the news once again.
Limbaugh is the host of a radio show heard across the United States, a big-bellied man who bellows into the radios of millions of people.
He's confident, uncomplicated and almost always on the attack against Democrats, feminists and anyone on the Left.
As Republicans adapt to the role of an opposition party and search for a new opposition leader, Limbaugh may be emerging as their champion.
The Democrats would love it.
They think that Limbaugh, 58, is the very personification of an ugly Republican stereotype: he's a small-town college drop-out, an angry white man, who they believe offends the ethnic, urban and educated Americans the Democrats want to attract.
His latest headline: even in the midst of a profound economic crisis, with millions of Americans waiting for help, Limbaugh says he hopes President Obama's recovery plan fails.
"What is so strange about being honest and saying, 'I want Barack Obama to fail, if his mission is to restructure and reform this country so that capitalism and individual liberty are not its foundation?' Why would I want that to succeed?"
Obama reportedly told Republican leaders they would have to decide. "You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done."

as opposed to a pencil neck little basterd who looks like a monkey, elected as POTUS by the MSM machine
Mrs. Lurkin’s comment: “I’m sure the New York Times would describe Ted Kennedy the same way......not”
He doesn’t “bellow” and he isn’t “angry.”
I’ve been listening to him since the late 80s and I’ve rarely heard him bellow or get angry.
These lies about him are repeated for decades, with no basis. . .
Seems like the left and their MSM allies, since the Clinton era, have been creating a stereotypical image of an opponent of their agenda as an uneducated yahoo. This is yet another deception that the left loves to perpetrate. Fact is that one of the left's greatest assets is their cadre of ignorant drones, without which Obama couldn't have gotten where he is.
On cue from the White House! Did you expect anything else from the Clinton News Network? After all, aren't they part of Ted Turner's operation?
Let them debate and we’ll see who schools whom!
Ernest Lawrence, a pure experimentalist... said, "Don't you worry about it -- the theorists will find a way to make them all the same." -- Alvarez by Luis Alvarez (page 184)
I must reiterate my feeling that experimentalists always welcome the suggestions of the theorists. But the present situation is ridiculous... In my considered opinion the peer review system, in which proposals rather than proposers are reviewed, is the greatest disaster to be visited upon the scientific community in this century. No group of peers would have approved my building the 72-inch bubble chamber. Even Ernest Lawrence told me that he thought I was making a big mistake. He supported me because my track record was good. I believe U.S. science could recover from the stultifying effects of decades of misguided peer reviewing if we returned to the tried-and-true method of evaluating experimenters rather than experimental proposals. Many people will say that my ideas are elitist, and I certainly agree. The alternative is the egalitarianism that we now practice and that I've seen nearly kill basic science in the USSR and in the People's Republic of China. -- ibid (pp 200-201)
good idea - It would be terrific if some of the Main Street ideas started to become a movement driven by “change”. Time for conservatieves to change the game and time for them to show the working class the difference between being good and feeling good.
That's like calling a streetwalker "compromised".

Rush: the embodiment of the old mountain saying, “there’s book-learnin’, then there’s common sense”.
