Question of the day: How much of what Rush says does he actually believe?
Rush Limbaugh is back in the news these days, of course, as he continues his mud wrestling contest with Ann Coulter for bragging rights for the most obnoxious right wing blowhard in America.
So here’s the question: How much of the crap Rush spews do you think he actually believes? And how much of it is just a show?
Personally I think he’s 90 percent snake oil salesman. He probably is politically conservative, but ideology isn’t what drives him. He says whatever he thinks will sell Brand Rush.
And, yes, I am speculating here: But at least I’m not accusing someone of exaggerating a horrible illness for show.
So what do you think?

Rush Limbaugh will say ANYTHING to get attention. He is all about making money for Rush Limbaugh. He has found his schtick and he is schticking to it. He appeals to the lowest denominator in human behavior and has thus found his niche audience. Same for Ann Coulter. I suppose there is a core group of bigots, fanatics, skinheads, and ignorant pusillanimous polecats who take these crackpots seriously. The rest of the audience is composed of folks who like to be shocked and find it amusing. They are the kind who rush to the scene of accidents. The Limbaughs and Coulters are willing to sell their rag-tag souls for a buck. The fools among us are willing to subsidize it.

This is the same Rush who has whined for years about having a sore back.
