Rush was right with this caller. Video game violence.

It’s no big secret that Slakjaw finds Rush Limbaugh to be a repulsive, self-congratulatory bone head. But look at this. You have to listen real close but sometimes the fatbasterd makes sense.


CALLER: What I really think is an issue is video violence, video gaming. I will guarantee you, I’ll bet my last dollar in my pocket, that this shooter will be found to have been a compulsive video gamer, and when people are living that kind of lifestyle — and college students do this a lot.


RUSH: (sigh) Let’s say you’re right. Not every video gamer goes out and murders 33 people on the college campus though. There’s more to this than that. We can find all kinds of societal problems and ills, but the fact of the matter is that whatever you would look at as a bad influence — video games as you mentioned — it may desensitize people, but it doesn’t turn everybody into mass murderers.


Aaaaaaaaannnnndddd… Breath. The man is actually spitting some sense, taking exactly the opposite of what you would expect, right? Doesn’t exactly saint him, but good on ‘im, I guess.

Well, you know, even a broken clock is right twice a day. And some that work are never right. So what is my point?

Jay Leno said it well last night...Rap music Moguls are urging their stars to downgrade the use of "b!tch" and "Ho" in their lyrics.

"Well, there goes all the rap love songs."
