There is an excellent piece on Rush Limbaugh in the New York Times Magazine. Worth a read regardless of your politics. What he has to say about President Bush, however, is just nutty.
Limbaugh said he believes that President George W. Bush is well meaning but far from the Reagan standard of excellence. “I like President Bush,” he wrote me, “but he is not a conservative. He is conservative on some things, but he has not led a movement as Reagan did every day of his career. Bush’s unpopularity is due primarily to his reluctance to publicly defend himself and his administration against attacks from the left. . . . The country has not tilted to the left in my view. What has been absent is elected conservative leadership from the White House down to the Congress.”
Huh? So you don't think it has anything to do with leading us into a pointless war of choice or clobbering the federal deficit with out of control spending (just to name two)?
