Fools Rush In
 
 
Talk about a double standard.  Rappers can say anything they want about women. It’s called art. And they win awards.

–Rush Limbaugh

 
 
I’m not sure which is more surprising — that Limbaugh acknowledges that rappers are artists, or that he suggests that he is one himself.
 
 
What isn’t surprising is the faulty logic of the statement — the same faulty logic on which he has built his radio show. The difference between Limbaugh and Lil Wayne — other than the fact that the latter served time when he was caught with illegal drugs — is that the former makes his money from advertisers, not record sales.
 
 
Does this mean Rush will record a hip hop record? If so, I suggest doing a track called “Going to Canossa.”
