Rush Limbaugh: the Movie

"W" style, at that

Since it's Friday, let's ease into the weekend with something nice and uncontroversial:

Well, good luck with that; "W" made $30 million total. It's hard to see how this will satisfy anyone - if it's generally unsympathetic to the man and his beliefs, Limbaugh's listeners won't go, and even his detractors may not be moved to shell out ten bucks: Let's spend the evening watching a derisive biography of someone we don't like!

The book, by the way, came out in 1995, which means either the movie misses the Clinton years entirely, or won't confine itself to events covered in the biography. Probably the latter, because discussing Limbaugh without covering Clinton is like filming "Moby Dick" but leaving out the part about the whale.
