Rush Limbaugh gets hit a lot by Morning Joe and is the butt of a lot of jokes on MSNBC and NBC.

Yet NBC’s today show is doing a long Rush Limbaugh story this morning and apparently Morning Joe will be carrying it sometime during their broadcast.

For all the scorn they heap upon him, they know where the ratings are, and boy it must burn them to know it.

Baldilocks: (Proudly banned from lgf) has today’s must read post concerning her almost crossing a line when dealing with a member of the the Obamacult:

After biting my tongue—almost literally—I pointed out that if he didn’t want to get criticized that he should not have run for president. She agreed, then pointed out that Jesus had been criticized(!)

I quickly asserted that, contrary to some opinions, he was not Jesus, and then took the conversation to the place that had initiated my anger.

“President Obama is the Commander-in Chief of the Armed Forces. There are many young men–teenagers some of them–who are sleeping on the ground, who haven’t had showers for weeks and they are doing so under his orders. Many of these men have seen their friends blown to bits and some may have that happen to them or may come home minus a body part. If they can put up with that, don’t you think that their Commander-in Chief can put up with a little criticism?”

And it was at that point that she asked the question that is the title of this post.

The treatment of this president by the media over the last 18 months is the most vivid example of what the concept of divine right must have meant that I’ve ever seen.

A: The fact that the media keeps asking people if he deserves it. If you can ask if a Nobel prize is deserved then it likely isn’t

A: Answer the fact that he likely IS listening to Lady Gaga.

Any society that bases it’s decisions on any important issue based on the opinion of Lady Gaga deserves the end result.

It’s at moments like this when the fact that my life is almost certainly more than half over (2/3’s if I only live as long as my father) is not necessarily a bad thing.

Update: Then again is Glenn is right I may have even less time since I live in Massachusetts home of the “life panels”
