Sunday Morning Funny-or-Rush Limbaugh gets betrayed by the Internets.
Limbaugh quotes from an essay about the causes of the Great Depression and proceeds to berate the writer as a Marxist fool:
The best story I’ve heard this week by far was told today over lunch. Apparently, a co-worker of mine named George listens to the Rush Limbaugh show in his car, and yesterday heard him discussing Barak Obama’s comments about similarities between the recent housing crisis and the lead-up to the Great Depression (link goes to transcript). I imagine the comments were referring to the obvious similarities between those who obtained ridiculous sub-prime loans and those in the 1920s who bought stock they couldn’t afford on margin. However, Limbaugh decided that Obama’s comments were the result of a crazy “liberal education†– and even remarks how “lucky†he is that he didn’t graduate from college, thus allowing him to escape the perils of actual knowledge.
To prove his point, Rush says he did some Google searches for “Great Depression†and then proceeds to attack each of the results as liberal propaganda. Because we all know that college professors teach straight off of Google results pages. So my friend is listening and hears something rather striking… the name of one of our mutual colleagues – Paul Alexander Gusmorino (â€The Third!†– I love the way Limbaugh says that).
Limbaugh found among the top results an essay written by Paul, entitled “The Main Causes of the Great Depression,†(link goes to essay). He quotes Paul’s essay and refutes each of its claims, dissecting them as if they were part of a Harvard professor’s lecture on the subject. He doesn’t pull any punches either. “Mr. Gusmorino, you better check Karl Marx and see if you plagiarized him in putting this piece together.â€

In the deluded, addicted mental world of Rush Limbaugh there is no idea originating from anyone with a college level “education” that is not part of “the great liberal conspiracy”. It’s been too obvious for several years now that Mr. Limbaugh doesn’t even possess basic common sense, much less the knowledge to be the authority he presents himself to be. As for the herd of “ditto heads” gullible enough to actually believe the crappola he spews, there’s little likelihood they’ll ever develop actual functioning minds capable of realistic and objective thinking. For the most part, they’re essentially just addicts, and Limbaugh’s inane bloviating represents their daily drug fix.

Bimbo limbo is the big lie. This guys hangs around Palm Beach area, frequenting whites only club, mouthing off on virtually everything. He’s so wrong on just about everything he speaks and dittoheads pay him large sums to hear propaganda and misspeak . Dumb and dummer; birds of a feather flock together. Since Obama won, he’s so upset, he doesn’t know what to do with himself. He studders and shudders and rants and raves. Can you say lunatic fringe.
