<p>The other day I wrote a column pointing out that Rush Limbaugh, while amusing and often insightful, is not a conservative. He is simply an entertainer who uses conservatism to sell a wide range of products.</p>
<p>I got a large number of calls and e-mails from dimwitted dittoheads. My favorite informed me that as a conservative I should brush up on the work of a certain "Bill Krystal." I replied that I had no idea who he was talking about. The dittohead merely informed me that every conservative knows who Bill Krystal is.</p>
