Seriously?  Now he denies the math behind the heat index.

Hopefully aged Republican voters will follow his advice and go out when temperatures and humidity are both high.  After all, a loud mouth drug addict is a great source of meteorological info.

How stupid is a man who makes millions off being a talking-head on a radio show that has millions of listeners every day?  Clearly doing something right, because I don't have his money Sad

A valid point.  I guess it is his audience who are the idiots.

Now you're on to something.  However, a lot of his audience also includes left-wing critics who listen in order to write about him.  I guess I would throw a large number of his listeners in with people that watch The View, Msnbc, or Sean Hannity Tongue

Well, the heat index is pretty stupid. Not that anything north of 90 is pleasant, but if it were 116 degrees, you'd know it.

Really, where did you get that tidbit? Seems the article below states Limbaugh as saying that if the temperature is going to be 99 degrees, and the heat index is going to be 116 degrees, then the temperature should be reported as 99 degrees, and the heat index should be reported as 116 degrees.

To paraphrase P. T. Barnum......

Well, the heat index equation isn't perfect, but it's certainly better than the Humidex equation, in my opinion.
