Confirmation: Rush Limbaugh Is Still On Hillbilly Heroin

I listened to the first 30 minutes of the Rush Limbaugh show this afternoon, something I generally don't do, but of course today was different.

Did you know that Sarah Palin has more experience than Barack Obama?

Palin has been Governor of Alaska for 20 months now (and was endorsed by Ted Stevens during that race -- oops) and Barack Obama has been a US Senator from Illinois for 44 months.

Before she was Governor, she served as Mayor of ... Wasilla, Alaska. Yes, Wasilla. I did some research on the US Census website and as of July of 2007, Wasilla had a population of 9,780 and that actually made it the fourth largest city/town in Alaska.

In Ohio, with that population it would place between Girard and London and hold the position of #174 in Ohio city population.

Now, I remember that when Tim Kaine was under serious consideration as a VP for Obama, we had this pronouncement from Karl Rove:

One questioner asked Obama to address Republican Karl Rove's recent remarks diminishing Richmond. Rove recently told CBS' "Face the Nation" that during Kaine's stint as Richmond's mayor, he "was mayor of the 105th largest city in America. ... It's not a big town."

That was 105th largest city in the ENTIRE United States, not in Virginia. Don't forget that Kaine has been Governor of Virgnina a WHOLE YEAR LONGER than Sarah Palin has been Governor of Alaska.

Oops, yet again.

What does Rove say now?

Update:

As another comparision, Illinois has 59 state senators and the districts are drawn to be roughly equal in population. As of 2007, according to Wikipedia, the population of Illinois was 12,852,548 so that means on average each state senate district had 225,483 people.

That's 23 TIMES the population of Wasilla, Alaska.

Oops again!
