Seems Rush Limbaugh likes to chime in about how best to handle natural disasters: He's already speculated that the oil rig explosion in the Gulf was the work of devious environmentalists. But on True/Slant, Justin Gardner notes Limbaugh didn't stop there: "The ocean will take care of this on its own if it was left alone and left out there," he said. "It’s natural. It’s as natural as the ocean water is." As for God's creatures, "Well, the turtles may take a hit for a while, but so what? So do we!" (More Rush Limbaugh stories.)
