I planned to write about Rush Limbaugh, but decided he wasn't worth the trouble. He's just a celebrity, like Paris Hilton or Lindsay Lohan, only he eats more. He claims to have 20 million listeners. A lot of people read the Star magazine, too, but that doesn't make it gospel.
A bit of Shakespeare seems to relate:
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
From MacBeth
