Can celebrity culture GET any weirder?

Noting this People headline (brought to my attention by Slate):

Elton John Sings at Rush Limbaugh’s 4th Wedding

… I find myself wondering, can celebrity culture get any weirder than this?

And the answer is, yes it can. Just read the rest of the piece, such as the guest list (ranging from Karl Rove to James Carville, thereby supporting my thesis that uberpartisans are all the same), or the fact that Limbaugh’s new wife is a descendant of John Adams, my favorite founder. What would John and Abigail have thought?

    What would have been more astonishing is if Rush wed Ann Coulter. But only one ego is apparently allowed in the Limbaugh house, his.

    Just goes to prove a point. In the end, it is still “show business”, not actual politics. Opinions spouted by pundits meant to piss the other side off, hold onto listeners, and increase the size of their bank account.

    Each side knows the other so well, it has become easier and easier to predict what reactions will be. Based on what I have read, Rush is the master of predicting with accuracy what the opposition will do and how they will react.

    Gotta keep the base stirred up. Limbaugh, Hannity, Savage, Borts vs Olbermann, Matthews, Maddow, Schultz. Hell, throw them all in a cage like the wrestlers do and let’em fight it out. I would pay to watch it.
