RUSH LIMBAUGH'S 18 RULES OF RIGHT-WING TALK RADIO BOMBAST
By Nate Patrin
1: Never, EVER admit mistakes, no matter how glaring.
2: Avoid opposing viewpoints as much as humanly possible, especially if you don't have the slightest idea how to counteract them without babbling and spewing insults.
3: Blame the media for everything - except your popularity (and the occasional laudatory press from the likes of U.S. News).
4: Never, never, ever, EVER give your opposition any credit for ANYTHING, no matter how good, kind and competent they are. If Mother Theresa joins the Clinton staff, slam her like there's no tomorrow.
5: The only thing that deserves to be recycled is a joke.
6: Read as many newspapers as you can before a show, not to catch up on the news but to find pieces of "liberal bias" that you can automatically challenge without thinking.
7: Be as tasteless and tactless as possible. Tastelessness = bad press = support from dittoheads = big ego boost.
8: When you can't find any substantial basis for attacking your opponents, question their sanity, appearance, sexual lifestyle, etc.
9: Try to get plugged by celebrities, including Charles Barkley, George Brett and Charlton Heston.
10: Act as shocked, disgusted and offended as you possibly can when your opponents use the same tactics as you. Have a fit if they use them better.
11: Contradict yourself often, just to see if they're listening.
12: Accuse anybody who disagrees with you of being a "liberal". This is known as the "McCarthy Principle."
Limbaugh bears a striking resemblance to Java the Hut
13: Despite the fact that it's a part of your agenda, racism is no longer acceptable and must be used as subtly as possible.
14: Support ANYTHING the G.O.P. does, no matter how stupid. If the G.O.P. actually did something so stupid that you can't possibly support it, say it didn't happen.
15: Jumping to conclusions is your best bet in a tough situation. If you can't find a reason for some bad occurrence, blame Clinton.
16: Bad things that happen to people are only funny if they don't happen to (a) Americans, (b) Conservatives or (c) you.
17: Create as many catchphrases, buzzwords and cliches as you can stand.
AND THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE OF ALL:
18: Pass off opinions as truths.
