Limbaugh is an entertainer, and a good one at that, nothing more, nothing less. Everything he says and does is designed to appeal to a cult-like following of ditto-heads. I began listening to him in 1990, and thought he made some thought provoking points, but as time went on he became more and more mean spirited and egocentric. I pretty much quit listening to him in the mid-ninties as I felt he had crossed the line between political commentator to radio personality. Just last year I tried to watch the golf channel show with him trying to improve his game under the tutelage of Hank Haney. I had watched the series with Barkley and Ray Ramono, and enjoyed it. After parts of two episodes with RL, I gave up. His egomania and bluster sucked all the joy and interest out of the show. He is, in my opinion, a smart, but seriously compromised, personality, with very little impact beyond his few million ditto-head like-minded listeners.
