Indeed...hopefully, he will be swept away by that flood, and into the sewer,
where, citing the sewage which comes out of his mouth, he came from in the
first place...

I heartily agree.  Each time Limbaugh opens his mouth, he shows himself up
for the idiot he really is...

But when things get better, all the little Limbots will realize that he
is just passing the equivelent of verbal farts, because he won't have the
illusion of "truth" to cover the stench...

Just wait until Limbaugh has to start telling blatant lies instead of
carefully composed half truths to be able to sustain his rhetoric.

Whether or not the media loses its slant, if (IF) Clinton proves to be a great
president, Limbaugh is done.  People won't long tollerate deliberate slander
directed at a sucessful president.  He can't survive without slamming the 
Democrats.  Only the most indoctrinated Limbot will support him, and I'm not 
at all sure they qualify as "people" anymore...
