Limbaugh is a power drunk, self aggrandizing, malevolent oaf whose single greatest gift in life is his ability to find, then manipulate the weak minded. He uses his perch on the bully pulpit to do sincere, heartfelt, and intentional harm.
I forget who it was, but I was listening to "Serious Left" on Sirius one day, when someone made the comment, "You know, I once worked with Limbaugh in Chicago before he became famous. He hates Liberals because they fired him so often back then. He was a total cheapskate who would go out for drinks with the crew and then stiff us when it came his turn to buy a round. Then he would come to work the next day and talk trash about the same people who bought all of his drinks the night before. You want to know why he's so reclusive? It's because he's an asshole and even he knows it. If he gets too much exposure people will figure this out, and he will lose his audience."
