It is a harsh reality of the world that the well-read among us must, from time to time, call the less well-read out on their less well-readness.  Or, put another way, if you see a big, fat idiot spouting idiocy, you must say, “Hey!  You are a big, fat idiot!”

1)  Rush Limbaugh is a big, fat idiot.
2)  I am AGHAST that the big, fat idiot has been granted even a millimeter of column space anywhere, including on a roll of toilet paper used by Sean Hannity’s personal intern, let alone in a major “news”paper.
3)  The Wall Street Journal’s editorial page is a farce.  Karl Rove has a piece in there today about all the problems Obama might have because of his management style and appointments.  Might have, mind you.  Not will have (because he’s a twit and unqualified to predict the future).  Might have.  What an ass.
4)  I’m not even linking to these articles because the WSJ editorial board doesn’t deserve the click through.
5)  Here’s what big, fat idiot said today regarding the stimulus package.  This, by the way, after he said that he hopes that Obama fails as a President.  I think George Bush was a dangerous nitwit, but I never wished for his failure.  Duh.  The president’s failure = failure of my government, country, people, etc… 

“Yes, elections have consequences. But where’s the bipartisanship, Mr. Obama? This does not have to be a divisive issue. My proposal is a genuine compromise.

Fifty-three percent of American voters voted for Barack Obama; 46% voted for John McCain, and 1% voted for wackos. Give that 1% to President Obama. Let’s say the vote was 54% to 46%. As a way to bring the country together and at the same time determine the most effective way to deal with recessions, under the Obama-Limbaugh Stimulus Plan of 2009: 54% of the $900 billion — $486 billion — will be spent on infrastructure and pork as defined by Mr. Obama and the Democrats; 46% — $414 billion — will be directed toward tax cuts, as determined by me.”

Dear Mr. Big Fat Idiot:  Even if we cared an iota about what you have to say, which we don’t, and even if we overlooked the fact that we don’t have a system of proportional representation in our government because of a little thing we like to call the Constitution, how is it logical that YOU determine 414 billion dollars worth of tax cuts?  We didn’t elect you, nor would we ever, you egomaniacal freak.  We didn’t elect John McCain, not you, so if we were going to allow the person we didn’t elect to make budget decisions, it would (not?) be John McCain, not (not?) you. 

I need to go do some deep breathing or something.  And if I ever get a puppy, I’m using the Wall Street Journal exclusively for paper training.

NOTE:  I’m not using “big, fat idiot” as a way to draw attention to Rush Limbaugh’s girth.  That’s a matter for Rush Limbaugh’s physician and tailor.  I don’t care what size he is.  I’m using “big, fat idiot” to reiterate Al Franken’s point that “idiot” isn’t quite sufficient to capture the full breadth of Limbaugh’s idiocy.
