But so what?

One of Limbaugh's favorite tricks is to play an old tape where he has predicted something years ago, and what he has predicted, has come true. This makes Rush seem like an amazingly brilliant analyst and prognosticator. Is it the case?

No. However it IS the case that if you speculate for hours every day, on air, that some of your speculations will come true. Bound to happen.

Senators are generally blowhards who love to hear the sound of their own voice. On any issue you can find Senators who blow hard one way about it, and others who blow hard the other way about it. And they're often on air.

Was Dorgan right about the policy matter, absolutely. Is he an amazingly brilliant analyst and prognosticator, no. He's a politician.
