I wish I could have some of these IQ flaws. It would certainly help to pay some bills to be similarly "mentally deficient."
Go national with what you got. You never know.

Good for them. And? So what? He's a better person than me? He loves my dog more? He pulls down hard routes? Oh, that's right. Rush has a hard time getting "hard" what with that Viagra stashed in his flight bag and all. I mean, really, who freakin' cares? His net worth doesn't make him any less a Republican hack, does it? It doesn't make him any funnier, which is too bad because I can take only about four minutes before I'm REALLY tired of his one note show.
And Bill Gates makes more in a day than I will make in my entire life. And? In a couple of billion years, the sun will expand to engulf the earth and toast everyone. Lots of money can't stop that, or the slow march of death that stalks us all.
Jeez, I bit, but get over it LEB. This is a lame thread.

Is the implication here, "money is God's report card"?

Oh he's worth nothing.
You can pick up dog sh'it and market it and it still remains dog sh'it.
Millions of dogs will buy and eat it, but still it remains worthless shi't.
A human being will not touch dog shi't .....

It's a mischaracterization to say he gets "paid" 400 million.
What he did was cut a deal that gives him a percentage of add revenue generated. The 400 million is an estimate over 8 years.
He'll probably clear more than that.

So Lois, you're equating someones' net worth with their worth as a human being?
And what the hell are you doing back here anyway, especially with this crap?
edit: Oh, it's a troll and I bit.

Argumentum ad crumenam is a logical fallacy of thinking a conclusion is correct because the person making the argument is rich.
Example:
If you're so smart, why aren't you rich?
I think Mary is a good role model. She's pretty rich so she must be doing something right.
This fallacy is notably prevelant in art, movie, video game, or music criticism; in the form "you can try and critize product X but it makes millions so you don't count".
The opposite is the argumentum ad lazarum.
Hey guys, I (possibly) cured part of LEB's ignorance! :) +100

i want to be wealthy like rush..
Then come up with a gig that generates hundreds of millions a year and cut yourself in for a percentage.
That's what he did.
So did the Rolling Stones, and Tiger Woods.
It may help to be a bit more coherent though.

Lois, nice to see you back, and under your true avatar.
Let's try to minimize the number of OT politi-tard threads, though, eh? Out of respect for the majority of people who come to ST looking for climbing-related stuff?

Limbaugh's in the top, highest tax bracket.
At least half of what he brings in winds up being paid in taxes, like about $25,000,000-a-year.
What'd YOU contribute toward the running of the country this year?
I'll bet it wasn't 25 million.
Hell, I'll bet it wasn't even 25 thousand.

"If you all are smart and these guys are stupid, there must be something to be said for stupidity, no?"
Oh dear.
LEB, yer guilty of fallacious thinking.
Argumentum ad crumenam
Argumentum ad crumenam** is a logical fallacy of thinking a conclusion is correct because the person making the argument is rich.
Example:
If you're so smart, why aren't you rich?
I think Mary is a good role model. She's pretty rich so she must be doing something right.
This fallacy is notably prevelant in art, movie, video game, or music criticism; in the form "you can try and critize product X but it makes millions so you don't count".
Perhaps sillier of me to try to help you with your ignorance, but I strive to teach!
Epic fail?

a simple glimpse
at those who would
listen to and take
any such drivel
seriously would show
one why our country
has much to worry
about.
p.s.
the maggot known as
limbaugh isn't worth
enough to lick the
sweat of my balls,
or yers lois.
