I have been thinking about whether the people who

are on TV should be paid attention to. Or radio.

People like Rush Limbaugh or Bill Clinton.

Limbaugh is a great asset– people sometimes go in the

opposite opinion as what he might say.

Do people like him fairly represents the people?  I’m

interested in the notion that we should all be involved–

but really very few people express their opinions on things.

People object to Limbaugh, but heck, at least he is saying

something, you know?

That Limbaugh is listened to and receives publicity,

well, whose fault is that? Ours.

Does Limbaugh really influence or matter way after

the news of the day is over?  I don’t know.

I don’t mean to be snide.  I just wonder.

My own tastes in celebr ities does not run in his

direction.  I like the intellectuals of yesteryear.

On the occasions that I have listened to him, he was pretty

stong-minded.

He does have lots of listeners and a certain amount of

influence, I would think.  Limbaugh is indeed very good

at what I like to call being the blustering baffoon authority.

It is a fine line to walk. People will either call him a

genius on a given day, or else they will say he is an

idiot.

At least he is putting himself out there. For that I give him

credit.  Of course, he is laughing all the way to the bank, too.
