Really?

Rush Limbaugh is one of the most fascinating people of 2008? Out of all the people in the country, this tired windbag’s schtick is the best they could come up with?

I guess it must be brilliant,original analysis like this:

Rush Limbaugh has seldom been a fan of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. But the conservative radio pundit has given his blessing to her selection as the next secretary of state.

He calls it “a brilliant stroke” by President-elect Barack Obama, who opposed Clinton for the Democratic nomination.

Limbaugh weighs in on the new administration as one of Barbara Walters’ “10 Most Fascinating People of 2008,” which airs Thursday on ABC.

Says Limbaugh: “You know the old phrase, ‘You keep your friends close and your enemies closer?’ How can she run for president in 2012? She’d have to run against the incumbent and be critical of him — the one who made her secretary of state.”

He makes more than 25 million dollars a year for such insight. Now that I think about it, that really is fascinating.
