“In 1993 I Was On A Political Trip to Israel . . .”

So said Rush Limbaugh on his radio show today while interviewing his own brother who has just written a book on Christianity.

Hmmm.  1993 is about the time I noticed that Rush had completely transformed himself from a semi-conservative critic of the state and statism to a toady for the Republican Party, which by that time had been totally captured by the “neocons.”  I guess a “political trip to Israel” to “get your mind right,” as the prison warden in the movie Cool Hand Luke once said, is a prerequisite for becoming a multi-millionaire mouthpiece for the GOP.
