9. Well, he may have a point. Let me put it this way.
Rush Limbaugh attacks Dems, libs, gays, blacks, Mexicans, and anybody who dares call the Repukes out on the truth. His attempt at humor is usually reminiscent of "Hockeypuck" Don Rickes, but without the charm.

When he is called on the carpet for remarks he makes, he runs behind the first amendment AND the ACLU (pretty handy little shields for someone who doesn't like them) and claims that "Hey, I'm just a loveable little teddy bear ENTERTAINER. Can I help it if some people take me seriously?"

Then, you have Jon Stewart.

He reports a lot of the truth, and in a funny way that makes the undecideds laugh, along with quite a few of the non-Kool-Aid righties.

And it's obviously SATIRE. And it's obviously FUNNY.

And the stuff that he makes up is also ACTUALLY FUNNY. And he comes out straight up saying that he is AN ENTERTAINER - not as a defense when he fucks up.
