I'm also surprised at how you think he is unqualified because he coined the term "feminazi" as if that is somehow a disqualifier. Perez Hilton, who bashes women weekly on his blog was a judge, as you mentioned, and nobody thought twice about it. What. The. Fuck. 2nd, he doesn't refer to the scientific community as "environmental wackos" he refers to the wackos out there like Al Gore as "environmental wackos". There is a HUGE difference, especially when many, as in more than half, of the scientists out there disagree with the "environmental wackos". Also, just exactly what is "comprehensive environmental reform" anyway? Do you even know? 3rd... "Barack the magic Negro" came from an LA Times story titled "Obama the Magic Negro" by David Ehrenstein. The name was changed from Obama to Barack to better fit the melody of "Puff the Magic Dragon". You don't like the term? Attack the LA Times on this one. 4th. You should know your subject before you actually write about them. That's what REAL journalists do.

Rush will probably ask some controversial political question, like "What do you think of Barack Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize?" If the contestant doesn't give the right wingers the answer they want, she will be ousted immediately, strung up and labeled a socialist. More publicity, more drama for Rush and his right wing army.
