Summary: The Way Things Should Be
Review: This book is like going to a fast food restaurant, it is fast, cheap and tasty yet you know the nutritional value is not the best. I am not a fan of Rush, thus my book choice, so reading books like this that spell out many of his errors are just a laugh a minute to read. If you have even found this book then you are probably also an anti Rush person and regardless of the content, as long as it was somewhat negative, you are going to like the book. This book should fit that need. To be fair the book is not really negative, other then a few funny shots at Rush's ego, the book is very fair. It simply takes statements Rush has made over the years and spells out the truth. The authors list out their sources and from where the Rush comment came from. I guess my only complaint with the book is that given many of the Rush comments were simple sentences, a Rush supporter could always make the claim that the comment was taken out of context. To avoid that I would have liked the authors to add a bit more of the Rush words before and after the comments. Yet this is a small complaint on my part and does not really take away from the enjoyment of the book.

Toward the end of the book I started to appreciate a comment the authors started the book with. They stated that although they could list literally 1000's of errors, they were going to limit the book to 100 given that any more and the reader might lose interest. I certainly felt that I had hit my limit toward the end of the book. As I read the book I kept hearing Rush in my head and after about 100 pages, it was all I could stomach. Overall the book was a nice time waster, not too heavy and fast and easy to read. Did it provide any deep thought or interesting conclusions about the effect Rush has on the current Republican Party or the public as a whole, no. It just laid out many of his more bone headed comments. Would this book change any minds, again I doubt it. If you dislike Rush then you will get a kick out of the book.

Summary: Dittoheads, This one's for you!
Review: How's this irony to end all irony: The ACLU is backing Rush Limbaugh, down there in Florida. Apparently, the FBI seize a bunch of his medical records as part of their investigation on wether Limbaugh is a crack head or just a cracked head. The ACLU thinks this is an invasion of privacy and is illegal. Wonder what Rush thinks about the ACLU now? Anyway, this little booklet is a good acompaniment to your other books like, "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot" and "The Great Limbaugh Con." It is full of funny cartoons and illustrations with Limbaugh's interpretation on the Right and the factual facts on the Left. It is easy reading and hilarious. Maybe this book is specially written for his fans, since they seem to be the kind that can't manage to read a book without pictures. Writing this book must have been a no brainer because all you had to do is listen to Limbaugh's shows (maybe that's not too easy after all) and present the truth as it is written in newspapers and historical documents to refute anything that comes out of his blowhole. The Introduction is made by Miss Molly Ivins on which she quotes a dittohead "You know Rush is right, Racism is dead in America, I don't know what the [*******]have to gripe about now." Anymore reason to wonder why Rush is so Popular??
Well, I like this book. I found it informative and entertaining. It is too bad we don't see Rush Limbaugh as he really is, A cartoonish clown with a funny jibberish take on the our world. This is where the danger lies. What else can you say when you have Ted Koppel, Tim Russert and Ronald Reagan as fellow dittoheads. I can't wait for the day that Rush Limbaugh retires.

Summary: Loneyly Drug Addled Creep exposed
Review: This isnt too unusual, liberals run out of substance in their first sentance and then move to personal attacks against well known consarvatives. When people like Al Frankin make sixth-grade insults like "Rush Limbaugh Is A Big Fat Idiot" it kills the credibility of their argument and only serves to enhance the intelegent arguments of men like Rush Limbaugh.
