What to call what Rush Limbaugh does

[Brian Hitchcock]

At our house, we call Mr. Limbaugh “The Bloviater.”

Blo-vi-ate    intr.v. blo-vi-at-ed, blo-vi-at-ing, blo-vi-ates    Slang
To discourse at length in a pompous or boastful manner: "the rural Babbitt
who bloviates about 'progress' and 'growth'" (George Rebeck). [Mock-Latinate
formation, from blow.]
(from Farlex Free Dictionary; the site lists three related links above this
definition, all re Bill O’Reilly (!))
