....but he's no intellectual, that's for sure.

Thank God. I believe it was William F. Buckley who said: "I'd rather be governed by the first 500 names in the Boston phone book than by the entire staff and faculty of Harvard."

The problem, Rush tries to con people into believing he's more knowledgable than he really is.

Two examples from within the last two weeks:

Rush made a big thing about trying to discredit somebody because they wrote that Iraqis were Arabs.

Rush said that Iraqis weren't Arabs.

Rush is dead-wrong, the majority of Iraqis are Arabs.

Rush went into a riff about how he was amazed that anyone would be dumb enough to characterize the words 'infer' and 'imply' as being synonymous.

He said that even dictionaries made this mistake.

But Rush neglected to mention that he lifted this directly from the opening scene of Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe novel "Gambit".

Sometimes Rush shovels bullbleep to his audience.

This bears repeating:

I love it! LOL!
