Excellence in bloviation

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh, who inexplicably made the Discovery Channel's top 100 list for the title of "Greatest American," singled out an Illinois high school during his Tuesday show, blasting the school for its required "global perspectives" classes and saying its students "don't know anything about World War II" and have "probably never heard the name Adolf Hitler."

A few students promptly challenged Limbaugh to a debate on American history. You might think such a fearless defender of truth, justice, and the American way would jump at the chance to show off his superior knowledge and to demonstrate the futility of public education. Strangely, though, Limbaugh has yet to accept the challenge, probably because he's too busy fending off Florida prosecutors or, even worse, Feminazis.
