Check out what Rush Limbaugh has to say about Barack Obama’s amazing acceptance speech on Tuesday. I suppose the guy does make his living off of being a hypocritical jackass, so it’s understandable that he couldn’t even wait a day to reflect on one of the most inspirational speeches of our lifetime before critiquing it.

This is one of my favorite parts:

OBAMA: The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you, we as a people will get there.

RUSH: Okay, I remember that bite. Where are we going? He didn’t tell the crowd where we were going, and the crowd didn’t care where they’re going.

Now, before you get too worked up about this, just imagine Mr. Limbaugh applying this same expert analysis to Martin Luther King: “You have a dream?!?!?! What dream? What kind of funny business are you trying to pull here, mister?”

It’s easy to get angry reading a transcript like this, which just reeks of stupid, but you’ve got to put it in perspective. These are the dying gasps of an old system. It’s a system based on anger and hate, and on Tuesday, the majority of Americans decided it had been around for long enough. It’s all the poor guy knows. As Obama was fond of pointing out about McCain, “He just doesn’t get it.”

Let him rant and point fingers. And let’s concentrate on proving him wrong.
