Limbaugh, behind the microphone, in full bloviation mode.
Bloviation is the superpower possessed by pundits who are perfect masters of truthiness.

In using the power of bloviation to silence an opponent, one uses a combination of empty rhetoric combined with logical fallacies while critiquing an opponent.

With correct use of this technique the opponent is not able to get a word in edgewise, looks foolish, and becomes incoherent.

Bloviation works best when one is critiquing an opponent who is not present.

Facts and bloviation are like matter and antimatter. The direct application of facts on bloviation can cause reality warps.
