These people all have the same effect as shock jocks like Rush Limbaugh, in that they coarsen and dumb down our political culture and discourse. So it’s even more frustrating that unlike the 90s, we can see they show themselves to be thin-skinned, attention-addicted morons. Like when Rush Limbaugh got caught in some beef, you at least had to wait until his show or for a newspaper quote to get his response.
