Well, apparently El Rushblo, aka Boss Limhogg, aka Rush Limbaugh knows more about science than anyone on the planet. He&#8217;s already known for his statements knocking stem cell research, birth control and climate change. Well he was after climate scientists again last week during the invasion of the polar vortex, saying that the polar vortex was nothing but a liberal invention to \u201clie\u201d to the public about the \u201choax\u201d of climate change. And Rush should know since he never graduated college. But he does sit around in his radio studio bloviating hot air all day long and he does make $70 million a year so I guess that makes him an expert. Remember, in America, if you have money, you&#8217;re an expert at everything. We thought it was funny that <a title=\"Al Roker Owns Rush Limbaugh On The Polar Vortex \" href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2014\/01\/08\/al-roker-polar-vortex-nbc-today-show-rush-limbaugh_n_4561611.html?utm_hp_ref=media\" target=\"_blank\">Al Roker called El Rushblo on his BS<\/a>. Here&#8217;s a <a title=\"The Polar Vortex Explained in Two Minutes\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5eDTzV6a9F4\" target=\"_blank\">thorough explanation<\/a> from White House Science and Technology Advisor, Dr. John Holdren, too. Maybe Limbaugh should actually take a refresher course in science before he opens up his mouth again. Naaaaaaah! There&#8217;s money to be made in stoking the fires of ignorance.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3226\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3226\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/?attachment_id=3226\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3226\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3226\" title=\"rushscientist\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rushscientist.jpg\" alt=\"Rush Limbaugh, recently stated that according to his thorough research, all scientists are idiots except the ones who created Viagra and Oxycontin.\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rushscientist.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rushscientist-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 85vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3226\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Conservative talk show host, &#39;El Rushblo&#39; Rush Limbaugh, is working around the clock at Republican Science Labs to debunk the &#39;theories&#39; of evolution, gravity and a round earth.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you think of top modern day scientists, who do you think of&#8230;Stephen Hawking, Jane Goodall, Richard Dawkins?
