Doesn’t anyone realize that he deliberately sounds like a snake-oil salesman? That he calls his right-wing crackpot show “the greatest show on radio”… clearly referring to P.T. “Sucker Born Every Minute” Barnum?

Anyway, good for fucking him, he finally got around to making a podcast so now people can pay to have him make shit up and make believe he’s got a right to be angry, the drug-addled, entitlement-demanding criminal (at least by his own reckoning) that he is.

Anyway, the reason I posted this is because of his mode of speech:

Well, that didn’t stop us. That didn’t stop us, ladies and gentlemen. No siree, Bob. We have been working with the powers that be at Apple, and we have reached via technological advancement and software the point to where Monday, and I just tested this. We’ve been feverishly working on it; I just tested it, and it is flawless and it is so easy that if you are not a member you’re going to become one and just be able to access the podcasts this way.

Look how many words he uses to say “I have a podcast!”

Well, OK, that’s not how many words he used. He used 870 words to say it. Is this what his listeners need? The right-wing crackpots that listen to Rush Limbaugh need the painfully, un-newsworthy spelled out with lots of “Nosiree!”s in there to make sure he sounds like One Of Us?

This folksy, “I’m just one o’ you folks” trick is really wearing thin. The Yale Bushes with their “Texas” twangs, their repetition, their “you kin trust me”isms — why aren’t the people of Texas and folksy places everywhere (like, say, Western Massachusetts) deeply offended at their pretension?

OK, yes, Massachusetts voted for Kerry last time around. But a lot of people here voted for the right-wing crackpot we now have in office, too. Why don’t they feel like they’re being talked down to by this horseshit?

Anyway, if anyone would like to join me in a Googlebomb of “Right wing crackpot“ing Mr. Limbaugh and Dubya, I invite you to join me.
