Rush Limbaugh

I have been listening to Rush Limbaugh all morning for some reason. For a sold three hours he has been talking about himself and making it look like he's talking about other people. He calls Obama a narcissist. Obama could learn a few things about self-absorbtion from Limbaugh. I thought back on previous shows and realized the only actual real topic of conversation on the Rush Limbaugh show is himself! Today he is talking about himself under the guise of talking about Gingrich, Romney and some as yet unidentified third "republican" candidate. But it is really about how RUSH will be voting not about any other specif individual. How RUSH will be portrayed if he says this or if he says that. What tomorrow's newspapers are going to say about RUSH'S alleged or unalleged support or lack of support for this or that candidate. It always spirals out from Limbaugh under the guise of some other topic. But if you pay attention you look at the other person in the room and kind of wince and suggest aloud..."He's actually talking about himself!" turns out, yes, he is. It makes for a kind of fun game if you can stand the stentorian sound level of his involvement with himself - to examine the topic and see how it really centers around himself while appearing to be about someone other than himself. This is the secret of how he can talk extemporaneously for hours at a time, which he himself is quick to boast on, he can do it in front of a mikle and he can do it in front of an audience. I know now that he can do this because he himself is always the kernel, the core, the actual subject matter of any speech or presentation. If he was to talk about George Washington it would revolve around how he affected Rush's life, and how Rush and he see eye to eye and how Rush would have reacted to the during that Story About The Cold that has something to do with George Washington "Could I have handled that winter at valley forge, hmmmm, i dont think so, i requirte a minimum of creature comforts, i need my cigars for one thing and i need to have my computer, and i would have not been a good soldier in the Revolutiionary War because I don't hear so good I have this cochlear implant that would prevent me even from being good on guard duty....." lbahblahblahblahblahblahit'sallaboutmeblahblahblah.....

Oh Come on JJ Rush is OK. He knows himself best. Sure he used to be better when he was young and raw but he is human and getting a bit frayed around the edges and much of his sharpness is gone...like the rest of us.
