Fuzzy Wuzzy is Rush's mathematician:

This is a couple of weeks old, but still topical.

The Daily Weasel had an essay about Rush Limbaugh's claims for the Bush and Democratic tax/stimulus plans. One of the reference links is to this page on Limbaugh's website, which is a sterling example of casuistry, and a must-read. Excerpt:

... tax cuts don't "cost" anything, because it's money the government never gets.    ...    Besides, tax cuts aren't a "cost."    ...    If Bush's tax cuts increase revenue up to the $674 billion price tag – and it will – there will be no cost, and bye-bye deficit!

If that kind of thinking is standard-issue over on the right, we might as well give up hope of using reason in political debate.
