Rush Limbaugh did humanity a favor and died only 5 short years ago today

25. That's the only good thing he did for us

and I am deeply grateful that he has remained dead.

I hold him personally responsible for coarsening political speech and turning it into naked schoolyard bullying, something that is still echoing through this country every time a MAGAt opens his or her mouth, although it has become more civil with everyone else. People who relied on Limbaugh to fill their empty heads with slogans and meanness now have to rely on Fatso and he's not really up to the job.

In another decade, his infouence is likely to be gone everywhere but nursing homes. I just hope he stays dead and a replacement able to inspire hate, sadism, and gratuitous cruelty through bullying doesn't appear.
