Rush Limbaugh fakes stupidity. - By Timothy Noah - Slate Magazine

Rush Limbaugh is not as stupid as he wants you to think he is, according to this Slate writer. Limbaugh and other famous people like politicians, use the veneer of extreme stupidity to get away with things and to appeal to the anti-intellectualism in people. It is an effective weapon, as anyone who dares attack any idiotic remarks they make will come under fire for being “snobbish and effete”.
