If you're reading this blog, you probably think that Rush Limbaugh is a huge tool. (Actually, statistically speaking, if you're reading this blog, you're probably related to me because, truthfully, we're not yet competitive with The Huffington Post or DailyKos or even FireDogLake - despite their conspicuous lack of Derek Anderson coverage).
What you may not know is that Rush Limbaugh is worse than the worst. I was watching The Rachel Maddow Show last night and she did a segment on the lasting environmental damage expected in the gulf from last month's oil spill. She said this:
"Even the worst apologists for this disaster admit that once that delicate fecund land has been sludged, there's not much to say about the future of that land in any of our lifetimes."
She was, in part, basing that conclusion on these articles:
CBC News: Exxon Valdez Oil Still Found in Alaskan Ducks
and
AP: Gulf Spill Prompts Alaskans to Revisit Exxon Valdez Days
A sobering assessment from Dr. Maddow.
Or you could believe Rush Limbaugh who said this on April 29:
"The ocean will take care of this on it's own...it's natural...even places that have been devestated by oil slicks like, uh,... Prince William Sound. The place in pristine now."
We believe his assessment came from a joint report from Exxon, Palin, and HisOwnFatAss.
