GETTING A RUSH

His critics may call him “rancid Limburger,” but I call Rush Limbaugh a shrewd disciple of P. T. Barnum, author of the iron law of economics: “There’s a sucker born every minute.”

Rush has evidently found thousands of suckers who are willing to spring $22 for his book, which, based on Goldstein’s review, appears to be a semiliterate version of the medieval political twaddle one might get from Bill Buckley or George Will at much higher prices.
