That Rush Limbaugh sho’ is funny, or, Chapter 10 on why conservative spokespersons can’t be racists
Don Imus got the heave-ho from the radio show because his support, while wide, was shallow. Rush Limbaugh’s support is not wide, but it is deep. Apparently Rush can pretty much say anything he wants to and the ditto-heads and … Continue reading
