El Rushbo: Oil Rig Explosion Could Have Been Set by 'Environmentalist Wackos'

There's no liberal conspiracy too idiotic for Rush Limbaugh to invent for his daily radio Blabfest.

The latest: Environmentalists blew up the BP oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico to make some point or other. It's brilliantly backward logic, of course, but it makes perfect sense to Limbaugh and his Dittoheads.

Here's the response of Media Matters, which keeps track of El Rushbo's own wackiness: 
Today Limbaugh theorized that environmentalists may have been behind the explosion of an oil rig that is currently dumping thousands of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Because the rig exploded one day before Earth Day…. And Earth Day was inspired by a river in Cleveland catching fire. And cap and trade was strongly criticized by "hardcore environmentalist whackos," and what better way to "head off more oil drilling" than by blowing up an oil rig? His logic is airtight. Somebody call Mensa.

Dunno. I smell a big leak.

Mensa...

Rush is merely a entertainer/rabble-rouser, but certainly not unintelligent. A dittohead might well be intelligent, but that is comparable to owning a sharp blade. With it, you could become a surgeon, a carpenter, or an axe murderer.

Too many use whatever edge they have to buttress their parochial, local views. Too bad they believe the output of their intellect is a logical derivation rather than an elaborate rationalization.
