As editor of Attention dittoheads: Rush Limbaugh loves plastic bags.
Is that a good thing?
The radio talk show host celebrated Earth Day, in part, by highlighting the contribution of Gordon Dancy -- credited with creating the first plastic grocery bag.
According to the Christian Science Monitor's vote blog, Limbaugh also announced today that he will personally see to it that he destroys two acres of rain forest.
"What else am I going to do for Earth Day?" he asked. "I'm going to have every one of my cars driven as much as possible today; I've got my airplane flying to Los Angeles and back; ... all the lights are going to be on, the air conditioning down to 68 degrees in all, well, four out of the five houses -- the property manager in [the fifth house] likes the temperature down to 65 degrees."
Probably not the image the plastics industry was hoping for today. Thanks anyway, Rush.

Why do people listen to that ghoul? Shock jocks have no place in informed public opinion, or in policy. Entertaining, perhaps, but once it comes time to make decisions, why don't the facts speak for themselves?

LIMBAUGH IS A PROPONENT OF INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS. HE SAYS OUTRAGEOUS THINGS TO MAKE A POINT. HE IS AN ENTERTAINER FIRST AND A REBEL SECOND.

@WHG
And as an entertainer, why do you think his opinion matters in the least? He says outrageous things to sell advertising for his program, which puts cash in his pocket. Not a bad thing, more power to him. This is the US after all.
But, entertainment is to be ignored when making decisions on public policy. Do you like it when some Hollywood star spouts off about their political views?
When making a point, the point should stand on it's own merit. If it can't, the point is not worth making.
PS. Check your caps lock. On the 'net, that is considered shouting. No one likes a loudmouth, and your point gets across clearer without it.

What you don't seem to realize, is that Rush often uses satire, to make his point. This is just another example of it.
