This is why there will be no liberal Rush Limbaugh

Basic lack of material. As an example, here is a nutty liberal acting nutty in a case of self-mockery. Ted Rall:

No matter how remote, we must now consider the possibility that Karl Rove may in the employ of, and/or receiving money from, a terrorist organization such as Al Qaeda. Alternatively, could he be in the employ of a hostile foreign government? If he betrayed a CIA agent, Rove is a traitor and therefore capable of anything. Only an exhaustive investigation of his and his associates’ anti-American activities, up to and including those committed by George W. Bush, can resolve these questions.

Internal sabotage offers a tempting explanation for the fact that so much has gone wrong for the United States since 2001. After 9/11
Osama bin Laden was in Pakistan–which had financed the Taliban and trained the hijackers at its camps–but Bush shocked analysts by attacking
Afghanistan and
Iraq instead. Was Bush’s refusal to search for bin Laden in his nation of residence the result of spectacular incompetence–or a continuing alliance with the same Islamists his father’s presidency had armed and funded? Are we losing the wars against Afghanistan and Iraq because of Rumsfeld’s stubborn insistence on understaffing the military? Or are our leaders intentionally dragging out combat to accomplish their masters’ aims: increasing the popularity of radical Islam and the recruitment of terrorists? Even Bush’s domestic policies, from tax cuts paid to the rich people least likely to stimulate the economy to his attack on
Social Security, seem designed to undermine U.S. stability and prosperity. Was Bush crossing his fingers when he swore to preserve and defend the constitution?

Maybe. Maybe not. The point is: we don’t know. But we must find out.

We don’t know how much crack Ted Rall has been taking either, but in light of this article we should probably find that out too.

If I had a job writing satire, I would throw my hands up in despair. The liberals satirize themselves!

Oh and on if Bush is deliberately trying to tank the economy by imposing tax cuts, it seems to have backfired.

  1. Great article on the increasing revenues can be found at The Rapidly Declining Deficit: How’s it happening? Look to the tax-rate cuts of 2003
