Classic Rush: The Purpose of Armies Is to Kill People and Break Things May 13, 2021 TODD: Well, we were just talking about this guy earlier in the week, this guy who’s paid to pretend to be smart, Matt Yglesias. He’s the guy. (laughing) Rush responded to this. You know, Rush’s love of science. This guy’s a writer and editor, slow boring, he’s been at Vox, et cetera, Matt Yglesias. Listen to this bit of analysis. This is my Matt Yglesias voice. “Ah, the pipeline was — ah — Obama’s Katrina. “If nobody died in Katrina, then everything was fine after two days of mild anxiety.” Man. Burning it up with some deep thinkin’ there. Do you remember when the media just loved every single time a retired military person had something to say about President Trump? They dove on it. Do you remember…? I cannot recall this guy’s name, and that makes me unbelievably happy.
