Speak not ill of the dead, I was taught in Sunday school. I respect that.
But if I couldnât eulogize Rush Limbaugh, who died Feb. 17, without such pinpoint descriptions as bloviating, racist, misogynist, neo-fascist gasbag, I think good olâ Rush would be disappointed in me, whereever he is.
After all, I would be helping to confirm the angry, humorless, elitist and vindictive image of liberals and moderate RINOs (âRepublicans in name onlyâ) that he peddled with very lucrative success since the mid-1980s, preparing the way like a latter-day John the Baptist for the election of Donald Trump and, let us not forget, the Jan. 6 attack by anger-fueled Trump supporters on the U.S. Capitol.
