Why Limbaugh Is Linked

Clearly the Kannon leans a bit to the left. So why the evidently heretical gesture of having a Limbaugh link down and to your right (appropriate, that)? Because he’s currently the most powerful force in American politics, that’s why, and we all ought to know what he’s up to.

He’s got a near fraudulent endeavor going on called Operation Chaos that arguably swung the Texas primary (not caucus) to Hillary, thereby prolonging the Dem infighting and maybe just maybe clearing a path for McCain, who he claims to hold in high disregard as well, but, in the words of Randy Newman: “I have my doubts,missy, I have my doubts”.

Limbaugh does radio better than anyone alive, is a complete master of the art form, and has convinced blue collar America that he’s their champion while playing in the Pro-Am at Pebble Beach. In fact, the right does radio so much better than the left (think Rush, Sean, Laura, the Witches and Warlocks of Salem Communications, etc.) that LK is left with no choice but to dedicate a future column to the need for left wing radio hosts that have a mastery of the art of radio that at least comes close to their expertise as policy wonks. LK himself comes to mind. Broader strokes, higher Arbitron ratings. Bolder BS, more ad bookings and revenue.

And most importantly, however sadly, is that a radio host’s level of influence is directly proportional to his or her ability to self-importantly bloviate, something LK, however sadly, and yet declared with perverse pride, is highly qualified to do.
