2007 Man of the Year announced


Human Events names Rush Limbaugh ‘man of the year.’Today in an e-mail to its subscribers, the conservative site Human Events announced that it had named Rush Limbaugh its “2007 Man of the Year,” for his “relentless pursuit of truth”:

As a result of orchestrated campaigns against him, Limbaugh has endured boycotts against his advertisers, pressure on his affiliates to drop his program, and even a campaign to keep him off Armed Forces Radio. Against Limbaugh’s iron will and focus on truth, these battles fell flat and Limbaugh’s ratings are stronger than ever. Because his ability to fight mistruths and politically correct lies has only grown stronger, Human Events is proud to have him as their “Man of the Year.”

8. I think there is a typo
Didn't they mean to say "his relentless pursuit of lies?"

"Man of the year," eh? Isn't there a logical fallacy there? One has to be a man before becoming man of the year...

11. That's like making Michael Savage the Grand Marshall of a gay pride parade.
It defies logic.

12. The country is going to hell in a handbasket because of people like Rush.
It's difficult not to wish him ill-will.
