Rush Limbaugh on Ronan Farrow: 'He's Never Done Anything; He's Never Gotten Good at Anything'

Rush Limbaugh on Thursday mocked new MSNBC host Ronan Farrow, dismissing the 26-year-old, saying, "He's never done anything. He's never gotten good at anything." MSNBC President Phil Griffen explained to the New York Times how he was originally wowed by Farrow, who is either the son of Woody Allen or Frank Sinatra: "Within 20 minutes, I wanted to hire him...He got it." 

Limbaugh translated, "In other words, if you're young, if you're charismatic, if you're good-looking, if you're hip, if you're cool, if you're glib -- if you have all the superficial traits that we can say you have -- then that will trump experience, knowledge, humility, and hard work."

Apparently, he is a smart kid. Graduated college at 15, Ivy League law school grad by 20ish ... he is only 26 now.

At least he isn’t writing multiple autobiography’s about struggles with his father, or some dumb $hit ...

Maybe he can sing.

Sinatra was his mother’s stud.

His real name is Satchel Konigsberg.

He’s very handsome and I guess quite smart. Too bad he’s a liberal idiot.

Well sure, he’s not qualified to do anything, but when has that ever prevented libs from being appointed or elected to high positions or offices?

I saw the title, ‘He’s never done anything, he’s never gotten good at at anything’, and I just assumed it was another reference to the interloper from Kenya (... or Indonesia ... or wherever he was spawned).

that could be said of most of the commentators/pundits aka “Fox News Analysts” on the air. Juan Williams has a BA in Philosophy and has spent his whole career as a journalist, for example, so that qualifies him as an expert on nothing, other than perhaps the relative merits of various word processors.

So young Farrow is follow the same no-hothing, done-nothing path of Obama and countless others. At least he doesn’t have any real power.

Oh, come on. You know that’s EXACTLY what he will do soon enough anyway!

Why isn’t his name Ronan ALLEN? Woody was far more entertaining than what’s-her-name.

Obama is what my husband used to call:

How do you manage to turn a piece on an MSNBC host into a bash on FOX News? I agree Juan is an idiot, but I think he’s there to illustrate liberal stupidity, like Bob Beckel and Alan Colmes.

According to Wikipedia:

He was given the surname “Farrow” to avoid a family with “one child named Allen amidst two Farrows and six Previns.”

Um...ok..

The Department of Redundancy Department has taken note.

A simple singing talent test should answer this question.

To me, he looks just like Frank Sinatra. No way is he Woody Allen’s son.
