Early in the Clinton administration, Limbaugh & co. were spewing endless slanders against both Clintons, up to and including murder, and liberally sprinkled with misogynistic loathing for Hillary for daring to be an intelligent and independent woman. And from the liberal establishment, we heard -- crickets. So it was a joyous breath of fresh air when I saw Franken's "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot" in bookstores, and yes, he was cruel with all the jokes about Rush's weight, but then again, Rush had richly deserved it. It's a sad state of affairs when professional comedians are the only people with the guts to call bs when they see it, but for 16 years that's been the situation.
Now, Steven Colbert, when are you going to run for office? Your country needs you.
