Rush Limbaugh's Morning Update: Answer!
You know, folks, I routinely get calls from listeners trying to understand how seasoned citizens -- their parents or grandparents -- can continue to vote for liberals while leading their lives as conservatives.
They want to know how the generation that espoused fiscal responsibility can vote for tax-and-spend liberals; how the generation of "self-reliance" can support liberals who believe in handouts and entitlements. And they really don't understand how those who lived through World War II and the Cold War can vote for liberal fringe-kook-wackos who ignore the threat of Islamofacism.
Well, there are cultural reasons, which I've explained in depth, but today... science may have provided another piece of the puzzle.
According to findings published in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, researchers say that some seasoned citizens may be more susceptible to fraud due to changes in the brain affecting judgment and decision-making. Natalie Denburg -- neuroscientist, University of Iowa -- says the new research may help identify those "at risk of being deceived." She says: "Research suggests that elders who fall prey to fraudulent advertising are not simply gullible, depressed, lonely or less intelligent. Rather, it is truly more of a medical or neurological problem."
Well! Seasoned citizens who fall prey to the widespread fraud that's modern-day liberalism may indeed have a serious medical condition. While scientists work for a cure, I will continue treating those afflicted; it's the least I can do. Don't thank me -- it's my job.

Hello pot, have you met kettle?
Hey Rush, you really have no room to accuse anyone of brain mush. After all, you have made yourself a Steppen Fetchit for the neocons. If that doesn't just scream oatmeal in the cranium, I don't know what does.
And here's hoping that one day you will actually define the "threat of Islamofascism" instead of just screaming it when the jingoistic mood strikes you. But you won't, will you? If you defined it, the blatant foolishness of it would be plain for all to see. The emotional response created by the word is much more pleasing to your old agit-prop-flinging heart, isn't it?
Do you stay pissed 24/7? With every one of your posts, you are always - and I mean always - griping and bitching about something. Why don't you go on vacation and chill out some?
Well, anonymous coward, I would ask you if you like demonstrating your ignorance in public at all times?
You know nothing about me other than what you read here. Adults are generally able to separate reality from what they read online. Give it a try sometime.
As an aside, if you are not at least aggravated about the current political situation in these here United States of America, then you are probably simple and definitely part of the problem.
