The yahoo writer is pretty silly, but limbaugh jumped the shark for a lot of people a long time ago. My first wake up call that I had to intentionally try to ignore was in the hours and days just before and after Waco where his biggest problem with janet reno was that she didn’t give the order to burn those people alive sooner. But today I’m okay with the clucking fools in the establishment wasting their time taking pot-shots at limbaugh instead of demonizing gun owners, divorced fathers and people who just want to be left alone.
Are you serious? That long ago? I listened a lot during that era and don’t remember it, but am not disputing you.
My biggest complaint about him has always been the gaps in his knowledge about things he really should be informed on. Also his haste to ridicule things and people that may not deserve it. And the connections he makes between things which may not really exist. Still, on balance, I think his contributions have been more positive than negative. I have learned things from him. And his personal story is impressive. People who don’t go to college and have an unorthodox business model that others say will fail can succeed beyond their wildest dreams. Young people need to hear that.
