This explains the almost touching devotion, tinged with desperation, that one can witness almost every day over at NRO’s Corner, where one lunchtime slacker or another relays with excitement Rush Limbaugh’s latest mouthblast of derision against spineless Republicans and gutless liberals–Rush was "on fire" today, they quiver, sounding like Nanny Hawkins huddled around the wireless marveling how Mr. Churchill just gave that Mr. Hitler quite a talking-to. Rush is the only last troop-rally’er this tired-blood brigade has left and their clinging to the backward tug of his stale certitudes (global warming is an enviromental-wacko socialist sham, etc) only widens the distance between them and the reality of how much damage kneejerk conservatism and blind Bush loyalty has inflicted on the Republican Party.
Wake them up when it’s over, will you?
