“It is one of the most detestable habits of a Lilliputian mind to credit other people with its own malignant pettiness.”

People like Rush Limbaugh are both petty and vindictive. On the other hand, a man like Limbaugh makes simply oodles of money, so in the minds of those who worship money and low taxes that is o.k. Doesn’t much matter who he offends or whose reputation he smears.
