From what I've seen of him in interviews / appearances, he doesn't have the ability to do much but criticize policy without offering any sort of alternative, and make fun of someone's weight.

So, you read this book, then? You are qualified to make judgements on it? You know what the book was about? Because if you did/are/do know, you wouldn't be looking like such an ass right now. The book was a satire on the breakdown of polite political discourse and reversion to namecalling. Sure, there's some stuff in there about how Rush does lie about how Reaganomics was good for the poor, but pretty much, he adopts the Rush tactic and applies it to Rush to show how silly the tactic is. The tactic, by the by, is the "liberal strategy" for dealing with Rush. I always felt the liberal strategy for dealing with Rush was trying not to snicker openly at his impotence and idiocy. How's Rush doing these days, by the way?
