The Limbaugh Paradox

Rush Limbaugh is one of the biggest radio political personality on the continent. Bill O'Reilly has one of the most watched political programs on television. Both are scorned by the left.

Yet, has anyone bothered to examine why they've become so big?

Limbaugh in particular intrigues me. He's a bit of a paradox. Here's a guy representing conservatism with a humorous and blistering tone. He speaks of conservative issues with anything but a conservative sensibility.

Therein, I think, partly explains his success.

And it's entertaining as sin. He even makes a few valid points along the way.

But in discussing the GOP leadership should he really be considered?
