Derp.

Rush Limbaugh sucks.  He just does.  You know it.  I know it.  Even he knows it.  He rakes in millions of dollars by preying on the fears of his audience.  He spews his bullshit, day by day (by day) and his “dittoheads” are sponges, absorbing every inaccurate fact, half-truth, and outright lie.  No matter how outrageous the claim, if it comes out of his mouth, his minions lap it up.   Nothing he says or does ever comes back to bite him in the ass.  Doesn’t matter how many people point out that he’s a bombastic blowhard with racist, sexist, and homophobic views, Elton John will still sing at his wedding.

Quite simply, he can do no wrong in the eyes of his humbled followers.  He can say the sky is blue on Monday and the sky is red on Tuesday, and it doesn’t matter — asshats will be wondering whether or not they will wake up to a bright purply sky on Wednesday.

So who cares if it turns out he gets his information from Wikipedia?  It’s Rush Limbaugh!  If something comes out of his mouth, it immediately becomes fact.  He’s his own private Wikipedia.

I read about the Wikipedia shenanigans and frankly, I ignored it.  What’s the point of wasting my finger energy?  But I’ve got some finger energy to burn, so here goes.

Rush Limbaugh, who had some choice words for Wikipedia and the folks who rely on Wikipedia for research:

They ought to be ashamed of themselves to call themselves professionals. They’re nothing but hacks. I mean, everybody in the world knows you don’t believe anything on Wikipedia because anybody can go in there and put anything on that they want to unless you succeed in getting your site locked, and I don’t even care about that.

Wikipedia is as irresponsible as anything else. Anybody can post anything they want on there. But these are the professionals! They’re supposed to check this stuff.
