Limbaugh: Obama is a "grossly underqualified, unaccomplished editor of the Harvard Law Review"

Jealous, much, Rush? It's REALLY got to be rough having a president whose skin color you hate and who is also MUCH, MUCH, MUCH more competent and intelligent than you.
Racist Jerk.
"America's anchorman" Pffft. Anchor idiot maybe. He couldn't even handle sport commentating without injecting his ugliness into it.
I seriously wonder if Limbaugh's pathological hatred of academia isn't rooted in a feeling of inadequacy for him having bombed out of college so early? Because, y'know, that ballroom dancing curriculum at SEMS had to have been pretty rough.
You were saying?
If more people had done their homework, Bush would never have been elected to ANY public office.
You've heard of the man with the Golden Thumb? Well Bush is the man with the Dead-Fertilizer Thumb. Every business he touched has failed - do not forget the baseball team. He was a horrible Governor of Texas. Remember his father crying on TV because he was such a horrible President; the elder Bush was crying because Jeb was the smarter brother and should have been President, but his big brother George had ruined it for him. Bush was the perfect example of the Peter Principle.
Surely you already are aware of these facts, but just forgot them...how convenient.
As others have pointed out, Bush didn't really run any successful businesses. Now, the Texas Rangers had some success while he was part owner, but did he run the organization? I don't think so.
Besides, running a government is not the same as running a business. Being good at one doesn't guarantee success at the other.
You'd be hard pressed to find two more unqualified people than Bush and Palin.
He likes his leaders that way; noisy cheerleaders with no ideas. Then he can bilk and suck the blood out of poor people with impunity. And he can schmooze and brag and feel like a man.
The fact that Obama went on to be a successful community organizer, an Illinois State Senator, a constitutional law professor, a US Senator, and currently President of the United States means Limbaugh is hopelessly outmatched, and will whine and cry at every opportunity in a weakling attempt to bring Obama down to his level, but Limbaugh can't reach high enough from down where he is to even touch the soles of Obama's shoes.
If you think that it's simply the way the cards fell that got him into the position he holds, you're vastly underestimating him.
He set out to control the conversation and to get into a position of power within the rightwing noise machine and he got to the top of the heap because he achieved his goal and he clawed his way up there.
Now, it's not a very worthy accomplishment since the toxic nonsense he spews damages our national discourse so badly, but it surely is an accomplishment.
I'd also like to know how much help he got from the rich Republicans who eventually bought up the talk radio market all over the country. It all happened so quickly and so thoroughly, that I don't believe it was organic. I have read reports that his syndicator gave his show away for nothing at first, just to get it into various markets.
Personally, I think Rush Limbaugh was deliberately created, but I can't prove it.
There's no question that Blimpy's success spawned modern Talk Radio, and probably inspired the creation of FOX, but I'm skeptical as to how much of it was Blimpy's idea.
He was qualified as far as having no conscience and loving money, probably really is a right wing nut, but millions of people could do his job if they didn't have any self-respect, didn't care about the country, and had a talent for dumbing things down.
That last one may be his most important asset, he needs to relate to the dumbest 1% or so of Americans, and that would be difficult for somebody brighter.
For comparison's sake, Limpy: which university law periodicals have YOU edited?
Thought so . . .
Well, President Obama's predecessor comes to mind . . .
Bush ran several large companies. The Texas Rangers. Graduated from Yale and Harvard. Was Governor of a rather large State.
He wasn't unaccomplished at all.
Did he do well at the things he did before President? Not so much, but he wasn't unaccomplished.

via connections.
Being Governor of Texas means that you are the one that people see . . . virtually no real duties or governing power. Basically, a hand shaker and backslapper. Our Lt. Governor has the majority of the governing power. It's a throwback to the post-Civil War era . . . insurance against a takeover by carpetbaggers.
Too bad you didn't have what it took to finish college or go to law school and finish like your dad, uncle, and some of the other members of your family.
Cry loud you big baby.
Your friend Vitter may even have some diapers you can borrow.
As the old saying goes: "if you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with bullsh!t."
Who do you know who does that better than Rush?
Sorry, but the addled brained morons who need to be told what to think and do aren't on the left side of the aisle, they're your listeners.
