Rush Limbaugh Errors for January, 2010 All times are CENTRAL unless noted

Error, analytical, Jan. 04th, 2010 Mark Steyn referred to Windsor (Ontario) being the Canadian center for Ford and G.M. My response: Mark, Mark, Mark. Why do you say things like that? I enjoy your hosting, but you’ve apparently never been in Windsor. In glory years of the past I used to be in Windsor every weekend. Windsor is a BIG center for Ford, yes, you got that part right, but Dan Quayle Motors (ex-Ratmobile, a.k.a. Chrysler) is the other big one - granted, they’ve been closing plants left and right. G.M. has only their Walker Road plant - if it’s still open. Most of G.M.’s Ontario facilities are further away, the Toronto area and Quebec.

Error, analytical, Jan. 06th, 01:13 p.m., …”at least Apple, Inc. didn’t suffer” such losses, comment on rebounding computer industry. My response: Duh, regretfully, Apple has been reduced to an also-ran in the computer market and are now insignificant. Apple’s monetary success comes from being tied to a super-dooper cell phone. Manufacturers tied to the Windows operating system, which has the lion’s share of the industry in this country - took a big “hit” with Vista and may be taking a “hit” with it’s replacement (Windows 7) because consumers don’t want a replacement to XP, at least not one that requires a hardware purchase that in turn necessitates buying replacement software, and have rejected the product. (Memo to Bill Gates: Yes, XP has been a disaster ever since the first week after you released it, especially for security. But ‘ya should have stuck with the Windows 95/98/2000 line and just added another generation. No, you couldn’t do that, could you? After all, the buying public will line up for blocks around the stores just like they did for Windows 95 - NOT!) “Microsoft, making mediocrity the standard of the world,” as a former coworker used to grumble.

Error, analytical, 1:23 p.m. …comment that Obama Motors were in the tank, only Ford was doing well. My response: According to the Detroit News, sales in December, 2009 compared to sales in December a year previous were down 5.7% at G.M. and down 3.7% at Dan Quayle Motors. Not good, but a lot better than what they had been doing. G.M. says that it’s due to Ford’s fleet sales. Could be, but G.M. can always make bad news look good by playing fast n’ loose with the facts. When I worked at Ford’s Sales and Marketing, we didn’t use the “tank” phrase to describe sales ‘til the lose was greater than 10%. Note that several manufacturers besides Ford showed a sales increase over the same time period a year ago. Also note that sales year-to-date compared to the same time period a year earlier look atrocious for almost all manufacturers.

Error, factual and analytical, Jan 22nd, approx. 1:25 p.m., blamed Obama for millions being unemployed. My response: The amount of people who can blame the Anointed One for their unemployment is growing, yes, and eventually will be solely his responsibility, yes, but presently most of the unemployment is still the legacy of the What? Me Worry Kid (Bush 43) and his detached indifference to American jobs being sent overseas and illegal aliens coming in. I can remember sweating out my employment future during the summer of 1982 and cursing Paul Volker for being obsessed with the non-issue of inflation when unemployment was the Big Issue. That happen further into the great Reagan’s presidency - close to a year and a half - than we are in the Anointed One’s presidency. And we all SHOULD know that the benefits of Reaganism did not arrive ’til even later.

Error, analytical, Jan 28th, 1:42 p.m., went into a tirade about insurance companies and bankers being Americans, too, and not deserving to be considered enemies. My response: and so were Jesse and Frank James (Jr.), and so were Bonnie and Clyde, and assorted other highwaymen and robbers. These were Americans. As to the presidential enemies list, many of them would be on my list of enemies of the people as well, nor were Truman and (Henry) Ford fond of bankers. But to R.L.’s “thinking” all businessmen everywhere any place any time are all unappreciated saints and angels, the fact that they could be evildoers never comes up. Why, they’re just maximizing profits for their shareholders.

Error, analytical, Jan 29th, 1:54 p.m., question came up in the final minutes as to why Bush 43 didn’t drop Chaney so that a qualified heir could run in 2008 and not McKeating 5 from Arizona. R.L. didn’t know. My response: because Bush 43’s has always been detached from and indifferent to elections other than his own, that’s been a complaint about him since 2002 from other R’s. Nor did he respond to the disaster in the Congressional elections when the D’s took over both houses. Some say that Bush 43 is lazy, regardless I dubbed him the “What? Me Worry? Kid” because of events where he was oblivious to what was going on around him.
