But he does bring some interesting things to my attention sometimes. In particular, this abhorrent commentary by Rush Limbaugh comparing the American torturers in Iraq to plagiarizing and biased journalists. An excerpt:
Here's the way I see this. About as many soldiers are said to be involved in these outrageous acts of torture against the Iraqi prisoners as there have been plagiarizing and fabricating reporters working for the New York Times, USA Today, and other papers around the country. We have as many indecent acts by these soldiers as we have plagiarist reporters working for mainstream media, partisan media institutions here.
