Could you imagine anyone who didn’t light up even just a little during President Barack Obama’s inauguration speech? And even with all the speculation, can you imagine anyone who would be 100% certain on the very first day of the new presidency that it is doomed to be a complete failure? How about if the prospect of failure was actually the only thing that gave such a person any joy, even if failure meant this already bad economy going completely into the shitter? Strange days indeed when, instead of the expected cartoon villain, we find out that such a person actually exists in the form of the delightfully belligerent Rush Limbaugh, the self proclaimed “Doctor of Democracy”. Check out his Tuesday address to his equally pig headed fans.

My favorite part is the beginning where the caller says the speech was boring because he couldn’t follow what the President was saying. Meanwhile, the rest of us are thinking: “Finally, a President whose policies and speaking ability aren’t at a level that Rush Limbaugh’s fans can handle!”

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Bloomington, Illinois. Floyd, I’m glad you waited. Welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program. Hello.

CALLER: Yeah, Rush?

RUSH: Yeah.

CALLER: Yeah, mega dittos, sir.

RUSH: I appreciate that.

CALLER: Okay, Bo wanted me to talk about the speech? And provide my feelings on the speech?

RUSH: Yeah, yeah, that’s why we took your call.

CALLER: Okay. I found it very boring. You know, I wasn’t following what he was saying, you know, and everything. And I found myself a couple of times actually drifting off and not paying attention, it was so boring. Also, did you notice at the beginning, maybe I was hearing things, but at the beginning, was the crowd saying, “Obama! Obama! Obama!” Did they do that little chant thing when he stepped up to the microphone?
