Rush Limbaugh is a terrible person. I don't tune into his show, but he still manages to say enough awful things to bring his angry voice to my attention regularly. In this week's rendition of "Rush Limbaugh is horribly offensive," he blames Robin Williams' suicide on his political beliefs:

"He had everything, everything that you would think would make you happy. But it didn't. Now, what is the left's worldview in general? What is it? If you had to attach not a philosophy but an attitude to a leftist worldview, it's one of pessimism and darkness, sadness. They're never happy, are they? They're always angry about something. No matter what they get, they're always angry."

Hmm. I must have missed the part of the Democratic Party platform that includes pessimism, darkness, and sadness. A normal, empathetic person would attribute those symptoms to depression, but not Rush Limbaugh.

Today he said he wasn't blaming Williams' death on liberals; he was just attacking the liberal media for glorifying the comedian's suicide. But even if this was what Limbaugh meant, which it wasn't, it would be just as inaccurate. Leave it to him to label sympathy as glorification.
