Why Rush Limbaugh isn’t toe-to-toe with live audiences

This, from 1990, subbing for Pat Sajak’s talk show:

I had not seen this before. It’s long, but wow.

It’s a good reminder to all of us too to be wary of commenters who want to call every angry woman crazy. I know I appeared crazy to some last weekend. I wasn’t crazy, I was angry.

“Crazy Eileen” is not crazy because she’s an angry woman. She’s crazy because her thoughts, sadly, are very divorced from reality. For those of you who haven’t read about her, she’s the birther “I want my country back” lady from Delaware, who, it turns out, has been banned from calling at least one conservative radio station because she claims there are aliens are coming to earth this October or some such. I wondered about her when in her town hall meeting tirade she said her Dad fought in the Pacific Theater and she didn’t want the flag changed. I have a feeling based on listening to the words in her tirade, that statehood for Hawaii is actually one of the issues she is fighting against. Yeah.

I saw an “I want my country back” bumpersticker yesterday. On a Honda. And you just know she shops at WalMart.
