True, and there are some young people who are very wise, but RL understands say, world history like my 6 year old granddaughter understands married life. Sure he reads a lot and talks to lots of neat people, but he also has a habit of shooting his mouth off before his hired help can rein him in.
Given a few of the state department people I have met in my lifetime. Rush Limbaugh is a genius in world history.
I think you are mistaken.
Rush has a good grasp of the principles of what makes history rather than what is merely written in the books.
