David Frum: "I listened to about 45 minutes of the first hour of Rush Limbaugh in the car today. The dominant theme of the hour, repeated over and over: 'You' – meaning, Limbaugh listeners – are not 'losers.' It’s Obama’s who’s a 'loser'. The word 'loser' must have been repeated dozens of times, half as reassurance (that’s what you are not!), half as epithet (that’s what President Obama is!) The psychological interpretation of what’s going on here is almost too obvious to remark. But what I can’t decide is whether it’s more sinister or more sad." Heh. I'll just add that I envy Frum's fortitude. Listening to Limbaugh for 45 minutes straight? Impressive. Me? I'd prefer root canal. Better yet, a firing squad. (Hat tip: Andrew Sullivan)
