sure, opinions are opinions...but some seem rational, worthy of thought.
others are stupid, commercial, and partisan. i don't think i'd look to
rush's baby brother for my rational opinions. that guy's simply
shovelling some more of the same partisan ****e his brother spews, in
the safety of his own friendly ****pile. i particularly liked this bit:

"LOPEZ: What was his ultimate Crime against Liberty?

(David) LIMBAUGH: At this point — and the list of infractions expands
daily — it seems to be a toss-up between the unapologetic bankrupting of
the federal government and the imposition of a universal health-care
system that represents a systemic cancer on our liberties, not to
mention our medical system and our treasury."

here's your guy's complete repertoire...

Crimes Against Liberty: An Indictment of President Barack Obama (Regnery
Publishing, August 2010)

Bankrupt: The Intellectual and Moral Bankruptcy of Today's Democratic
Party (Regnery Publishing, September 2006)

Persecution: How Liberals are Waging War Against Christians (Regnery
Publishing, October 2003)

Absolute Power: The Legacy of Corruption in the Clinton-Reno Justice
Department (Regnery Publishing, March 2001)

...and btw, "Regnery" is apparently a joke among reputable publishers
and authors!

Um, please explain that bit - it may be _called_ "a joke" by its competition,
but it would be no less "a joke" than any of the other similar imprints from
them (ala Threshold from Simon and Schuster, Sentinel/Penguin, whose senior
editor is/was? from Regnery, etc.). I'm not defending or attacking or making
any comment about Limbaugh's book because I haven't read it (and I have
intention of reading it).

IAC, just because a publisher publishes books of a certain political leaning, it
doesn't mean it is, in fact, "a joke." I'd say that publishers who publish such
(whether right or left-leaning) are much less of "a joke" than those who publish
the latest romance novel from Jackie Collins - of course, YMMV. "The young,
widowed Contessa looked longingly at the pool boy's rippling muscles as they
glistened..." is a hell of a lot easier, publishing-_business_-wise than "Obama
(or Bush or the GOP or the Dems or...) is/was a complete and utter ****-up and
here's why:...."

c'mon Dave...you can do better.
