But it's a lot safer to admire a semi-martyred, assassinated, cold war leader, national icon whose legacy long since shed any relation to his party affiliations than it is to admire, say, a current Democratic member of the Congress or Senate. . >>Limbaugh's a knee-jerk right-wing loudmouth and he really should give >>it up with the "airs of nonpartisanship" routine. >You very, very, very obviously don't listen to the show.

Actually I used to listen to the show a lot when I lived in New Jersey. Just because I realized the guy was a two-bit shill for the Republican Party didn't make his show any less enjoyable to me. Now thanks to his recent and very personal drug problems coupled with his comments in the past about how drug users in America should be deported you can add hypocrite to his profile. >(And "right-wing" sort of fails as an insulting term, since very few >of us are insulted by it). Obviously not. I take it you're a dittohead? That very term that Rush's show coined should be telling enough. It's the absolute definition of knee-jerk devotion to one party or another, damn the facts. Raj
