Didn't think so. So why should we care if Rush Limbaugh is a hypocrite? Didn't we already know that?
Rush Limbaugh (like much of the "morality"-thumping crowd) are hypocrites who selectively apply their morality and pay lipservice to things they don't believe in. The Bush family is no different. Given the choice of having sleazy/slutty daughters like the Bush girls or a daughter like the Clintons, I choose the Clinton daughter.
There is no monopoloy of morality on either side of the political fence, but the right-wing tries to sell themselves as having the high moral ground when in their personal and public lives that is not true. Thus, those who most sell that which they themselves do not practice (e.g., morality) are most likely to be amongst the crowd of hypocrites.
