Doonesbury Say What?

"I don't think Obama has much fun. I mean, he hasn't hung around people who enjoy life. He hangs around people who are, you know, enraged and angry and ticked off all the time -- from his college professors on down to his terrorist buddies."
-- Rush Limbaugh

I would love to see Obama sue his ass off for making publicized statements like that. Yes, there's the first amendment, but there's also laws against libel and slander.

No, you can't sue over opinion. Otherwise, Bush could have silenced everyone who's called him a mental defective for the last eight years.

Isn't he dead yet?

If Rush hasn't been sued over significantly more inflammatory statements than that, this won't do it. I'm thinking it might be good to just start referring to them as comedians rather than political commentators, as Olbermann does.
