One could hardly call this quality journalism. Publius (whose avatar is a kitten aiming a rifle from a window) doesn't give one the sense he has actually listened to Limbaugh's radio show, but offers us a one-note character analysis of the man in this thin, brief op-ed.

From the distant outside, Limbaugh seems a vulgarian, a shock jock, like Stern. Like Coulter, he's also a hater, who panders to those who "think like me" and creates outrage by saying vile, outrageous things about the various targets of his hate. His ideas are easy targets for logical critics for they are bound to be sloppy, half-baked, and inconstent, given that fact he regularly has to fill the radio air with words for long stretches of time and with little time to consider and prepare those words.
