Limbaugh's popularity and being around so long is due to the fact he will take a point of view that sounds reasonable. He then slowly takes it to the extreme all the while convincing you that his point A to point B makes logical sense. He uses emotion well to get his views across. He's good at what he does, quite possibly the best. He provides great entertainment.
He's a blowhard, he's self righteous with a huge ego. But here's the key, he gets people to listen to him on a regular basis and they think.
In the end I go back to what my father says about him, "He makes good points, provides good entertainment but if he truly believes all that he says, the guy is nuts and belongs in a psyche unit."

I just love people who use the excuse "I use/do this because I LOVE the feeling/joy/happiness it brings me" and expect you to be ok with that as you watch them destroy their life blindly following. My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
