I have no idea whether Limbaugh truly believes in creationism or global warming denial. His personal beliefs on these subjects are as irrelevant as the personal beliefs of Pee Wee Herman on these subjects. Because Limbaugh is an entertainer, after ratings, sponsors, and money, and if he believes that advocating creationism or global warming denial will boost his ratings, that’s what he will believe in. When he no longer believes that they will boost his ratings, he’ll change tack. He’s a phoney, a fraud, a huckster, and a person playing anyone who takes his political views seriously for a fool.

The problem for the rest of us is that, unlike Pee Wee Herman, his way of making money despoils our national political discourse.

Bingo. Who gives a rip what Limbaugh thinks? Give a million Limbaughs with a million typewriters a million years and one will eventually write a coherent sentence. Should we then decide that this sentence must be true?
