21. Keep this in mind, folks, for when Rush finally shuffles off his mortal coil

Mar 2012

Because I'm pretty sure there will be the schoolmarms admonishing us to "be nice" and "speak no ill of the dead" when Limbaugh dies. The fact of the matter is that Limbaugh makes a whole lot of money to say these things, and he revels in the controversy and ill feelings he stirs up, because it means he makes even more money. His fans cheer him on, and in their own sick way perhaps even love him for it.

Don't look for any fake piety or ersatz mourning from me when death comes for this loathesome parasite, as it does for everyone. I'm not going to get all John Donne, either, because the subtraction of this miserable person from the land of the living will not in any meaningful way diminish humanity.
