On OctoRush . The March 23rd Cover of The New Yorker.

The cover:

The letter I sent:

I was wondering if you had satirical covers back in the 1930�s depicting Josef Goebbels or Father Coughlin in a humorous light, because that�s the group Rush Limbaugh belongs to. He is not a crybaby or even a big crybaby, nor even an entertainer, as he claims. He is a master at spreading the �big lie�, and the more publicity he gets - good or bad - the worse he gets, and the worse we all are for it, even his admiring ditto-heads. Cheney as Halloween pumpkin? Fine. After all, he was the Vice-President. But Limbaugh? He should be ostracized as the pariah he truly is. His ego needs a diet even more than he does.

1. Perfect characterizations of Limbaugh on that cover. And for the GOP too. n/t
