Anonymous Hades's insight:
No radio talk show host is less worthless to his corporate sponsors than the village idiot of mainstream media: Rush Limbaugh.

Limbaugh's continuing presence on AFN is an affront to loyal Americans from sea to shining sea, because the man doesn't seem to know or care about the difference between honor and disgrace.
