He's already Rushed to judgment

Rush Limbaugh made clear that he's prepared to mock, scorn and badger the man with the daunting job of trying to turn our country around. Radio's biggest blusterer doubtless has real problems with President Barack Obama. But he's clearly inspired most by a fresh opportunity to inflate himself to ever greater proportions. Asked recently if he was depressed by the shift in power, he scoffed: "I am energized, I am honored and I am happy to be the last man standing." He greeted Bill Clinton's presidency with the refrain "America held hostage." Now it's "the last man standing." Get ready to hear it for at least four years. In other words, the last true conservative. The last stalwart with no intention of cutting the Democratic president an inch of slack. To do so, Limbaugh suggests, would be to give in to socialism.
