Upside/Downside: Rush Limbaugh Dancing At The Miss America Pageant

Welcome to another edition of Upside/Downside, where we take a critical look at something that happened in the zeitgeist somehwere and look on both sides to evaluate the yin and the yang in everything.

In this video (which you view at your own risk) we see The Talented Mr Limbaugh, rather unfortunately, taking up the invitation of the lady onstage to dance to a Lady Gaga song.

Downside: Rush Limbaugh dancing. An amazing display of maladroitism that actually surpasses that time when he mocked Michael J. Fox's Parkinson's Disease. As Randi Rhodes quipped, "It's like a Def Jam comic's impersonation of a white man dancing".

Upside: It's on TLC (that'll teach 'em). Nobody actually watches it anymore – out of a population of over 300 million Americans, only 4.5 million could be bothered, as this glowing article details. But it was penned by ROBIN LEACH! (yes, that ROBIN LEACH), so consider the source.

This has been another edition of Upside/Downside. CHAMPAIGN WISHES AND CAVIAR DREAMS, EVERYONE!!!!
