WHY FATS LIMBAUGH IS IMPORTANT

It's not because he's amusing and certainly not because he tells the truth, it's because he's the major spokesperson for the wingnuts.

Human Events made Fats "Man of the Year" and Mark Levin notes that:

What is it about Rush that drives the left crazy (that is, crazier than they already are)? The answer is actually quite simple: Rush is the most important voice in the conservative movement. Others want to be, some claim to be, but he is. More than any conservative politician, columnist or pundit, Rush speaks for us.

Erick at RedState participated in the selection process at Human Events and writes:

Rush Limbaugh has been the one honest broker this year for conservatives. He is the guy who has been fair, balanced, unafraid, and willing to speak tough truths with love.
