COMEDIENNE WANDA SYKES TELLS A FUNNY JOKE ABOUT RUSH LIMBAUGH AND UNBELIEVABLY PEOPLE RUSH TO HIS DEFENSE AND ATTACK HER

RESPONSE TO A COLUMN IN THE NEW YORK TIMES

If Rush Limbaugh is a patriot, then there is no better demonstration of Dr. Johnson's famous line, "Patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels."

The fact is that Ms. Sykes' line is genuinely funny, and, like all genuinely funny things, it tells a ferocious truth in highly compact form.

Rush Limbaugh is, as a book title told us, a big fat idiot.

A big fat idiot, moreover, who spent years taking illegal drugs.
