  21. I'm not surprised Limbaugh couches his politics as entertainment. Other
  22. evil GOP creeps have been doing this for years. People like Hatch, Specter,
  23. Helms ... they're worth laughing at, but unfortunately ignorant dupes fail
  24. to realize that they are just kidding, and subsequently act where the
  25. entertainer merely mentions.
