Rush Limbaugh dead at 70

[darklordoftech]

For good or for ill, many say he set the stage for today’s political climate.

How can anyone who knows who Rush Limbaugh is think that the GOP was “suburban” until 2015 or even until 2008?

I wonder if David Kessler and Dick Morris (people Limbaugh claimed exaggerated the dangers of smoking) are thinking, “Told you”.

My least favorite of these personalities was Hannity, as I don't think he is that smart and I found his TV program much more tolerable on Fox when Colmes was alive and partnered with him. Especially whenever Dick Morris came on and started mouthing his stupid about elections.

Even talking to Hannity’s fans, they all say that he’s “not the smartest guy.” It’s impressive that such a stupid man makes it on TV.

When Bill Clinton tried to have Bin Laden killed, Hannity claimed that Al Qaeda’s existence was a hoax created by Clinton to distract voters from Lewinsky.
