There used to be a guy from Santa Cruz who regularly infiltrated hate talker Rush Limbaugh's show. This sounded like him today.
The caller first flattered Limbaugh telling him that the host was "too self-deprecating" because he didn't talk about how he was an honorary member of the Republican Congress class of 1994 and had a bust in the Missouri legislature.
Limbaugh ate it up. Hooked.
Then, the caller mentioned Limbaugh's history of prescription drug abuse and smuggling Viagra...and Limbaugh sounded like a walrus that lost the fish. Womp Womp Womp...
The first part of your call was true," Limbaugh said. "But the second part was liberal lies in the media."
His ego is so huge he didn't realize how carefully the caller had set the hook and manipulated the man who spends three hours a day manipulating people who are supremely uninformed.
The guy had one thing wrong: Limbaugh wan't smuggling Viagra into the country; he was bringing it to a vacation in the Dominican Republic. One can only wonder. And for those who don't remember, he was also buying illegal drugs in a Denny's parking lot. Later, George W. Bush invited him to a private birthday celebration in the White House. And you thought Clinton besmirched the office?
The unlikely Santa Cruz radio station which broadcasts Limbaugh in the mornings, also features a poor imitation in the afternoon who has spent the past month talking about nothing but how bad Obamacare is. It's so boring, I'm not even sure how fans can endure. Limbaugh, I know is paid well by the Koch brothers and others. This guy, like most of KSCO's staff, is probably making just above minimum wage, so money isn't the motivation.
But you have to wonder why he and others who harped on the economy all through the election and how it would crash if Obama were elected, don't mention that the stock market is at record highs? You might want to ask them.
Congrats to a guy who got out the truth.
