Rush Limbaugh's story about his cat

To the editor:Rush Limbaugh is indeed a source of hometown pride. His awards and accolades are numerous. Most recently he was awarded the No. 10 slot on the Democratic Underground's Top Ten Conservative Idiots List for this lovely story about his cat:

"My cat -- here's how you can get fooled. My cat comes to me when she wants to be fed. I have learned this. I accept it for what it is. Many people in my position would think my cat's coming to me because she loves me. Well, she likes me, and she is attached, but she comes to me when she wants to be fed. And after I feed her -- guess what -- she's off to wherever she wants to be in the house, until the next time she gets hungry. She's smart enough to know she can't feed herself. She's actually a very smart cat. She gets loved. She gets adoration. She gets petted. She gets fed. And she doesn't have to do anything for it, which is why I say this cat's taught me more about women than anything my whole life."
