You look at Rush and he is truly a sorry excuse of a human being. He is a fat slob that as much as he tries to lose weight continues to get fatter. He has no self discipline.
Rush Limbaugh is a drug addict. Dispite saying drug addicts must be accountable for their actions he is working with the ACLU to have his drug charges thrown out. You could call that hypocrisy.
He champions family values but he cannot find a wife to stay married to him. Is he on his third or fourth wife? Dispite many wives he has no children. That is probably a good thing.
A fat, drug addicted man who cannot keep a wife (he doesn't even have the guts to buy his own Viagra, he has someone do it for him) tends draw sympathy
He is a conservative Rodney King
I don't listen to Rush since Dennis Prager is now opposite him in my city, but I admire him. It isn't until someone on the left complains about something he said that I even become aware of him again. Often I find, as I have tonight, that his words have been misrepresented.
Still, all the years I did listen to him, I don't recall him spending a lot of time on "family values." In fact, I don't even hear that term used in conservative circles much anymore. It was big in the 80s, but only libs seem to refer to it today.
I remember hearing him say once that he chose not to have kids. He has something of a WC Fields attitude toward them, I gather.
Living with pain usually involves taking pain pills, which are quite addictive - ask Chevy Chase. They also lead to impotence. And of course many people battle weight issues. None of the above has anything whatever to do with intelligence.
Stephanie is right - for all the lip libs give to tolerance and empathy for one's fellow man, they are a mean as hell bunch.
