Nice post Rush Lim.., I mean Prof Voluptary.
Rush Limbaugh is a hypocrite. So is Al Fraken. If I want some intelligent debate, I'd tune into Ben Stein, who roasted Al Fraken everytime I saw those two.
If I just want to see a guy piss everyone off, but still be right, I like Neil Boortz. Damn he doesn't pull any punches, and gets off "bed wetting Liberals" twisting what he says.
But I don't listen to any of them -- I hear Boortz maybe 15 minutes/month. I'd rather hit Google News and hit the various world papers. Although I sometimes like to read what Boortz said, and appreciate hit wit on the matter.
I still love his comments on New Orleans. Talk about insensitive, but the damn truth.

While you're mentioning Clinton, the point here is that if Clinton was asked what his greatest moment as president was, he wouldn't have been so stupid and devoid of PR skills as to answer by saying he caught a fish.
W. is a Texan. That means most people don't understand him, why he approaches situations like he does, kinda "shoots from the hip." They didn't under LBJ's either, although I'd argue LBJ was as bad as Nixon when it came to charm.
JFK, Clinton, Reagan -- they were all charismatic. No doubt there. But don't confuse charisma with actual leadership.
I like and dislike W. for the same reasons as JFK -- leadership. I like Clinton for being a conservative, at least from 1994-1998, but never liked (or voted for him) because the Clintons were crooks. LBJ was more of the same, let alone he had some serious "swing of votes" in his 1954 election. Nixon was just a paranoid liar after the 1960 election, much like Gore has now become.
I don't know if it's because many of you guys are young or you just don't know your US history (I can understand that for non-Americans). I actually think it's very humorous that W. said that was his greatest moment. And I think he said it to invoke the exact response it did from people like yourself -- knowing full well it would.
That's what a lot of Texans just do. They don't give a shit what you think.
