When Rush bores me

Rush Limbaugh is a happy, upbeat guy with a huge following (heard locally at 610 am, noon week-days) and an even bigger opinion of himself. But, lest you point fingers, he thinks everyone should have a good opinion of herself, work hard, and invest in the future of America. Your talent is on loan from God, also. Media Matters (founded by the Clintons) holds Rush to a higher standard than the other media, which makes for interesting fireworks. However, he does have some topics that bore me.

    1. Golf
    2. Football
    3. Cigars
    4. Hillary's lock box--or anything to do with the Clintons. I don't think there is anything to say about them that he hasn't already said numerous times.
    5. Music--he's a former sports announcer and disc jockey, and enough younger than me that I find it a little loud and wearying.
    6. The marvels of Florida.
    7. Harry Reid--especially after that last round. It's like making fun of a box of rocks.
    8. His weight. It's like Oprah.
    9. Dinner parties he attended over the week-end.
    10. Fund raising or political events he attended over the week-end.
I'm also not fond of, but don't switch channels, when he takes a phone call from a liberal. Really, it's just not fair. He's made millions, after starting at the bottom, with a great voice and wit explaining his political views, and then he gives these poor guys who've never done any public speaking some rope, and they make their own noose and throw it over the light pole. I don't know if his call screener just waits until some dolt calls in who can't put two sentences together, or if liberals who listen to him are really that confused.
