Bo "Snerdley," well known interlocutor, call screener and "official program observer" of the Rush Limbaugh Show, has come out of the shadows and into the spotlight with the new role of "Official Obama Criticizer." Snerdley is often in dialogue with Limbaugh during the program, and has been increasingly mentioned in recent weeks and months. Significantly, his image has been fairly private, never appearing on the website or for that matter, in any identifiable way on the Internet -- that is, until Friday.

His new role on the program as "Official Obama Criticizer" presents his own unique thoughts and criticisms of Obama from an African American perspective. This might be the first time Limbaugh has shared his program with another voice on his program. Snerdley's smooth, deep baritone voice is an interesting contrast to Limbaugh's megaphone-friendly tone. The last significant mention of Snerdley was when he was suspended in October for taking a call "involving human waste movements" relating to a South Park episode that referred to measurements in "Courics."

The appearance of Snerdley as a new segment on the program is another example of the vitality of Limbaugh's project, which is experimental and consistently changing. Last week, Limbaugh presented a recording of himself predicting the nomination of John McCain in 2006, but sped up 25% -- making him sound cartoonish -- to discern his voice then from now. Though the experiment was panned by listeners, it was nonetheless another exciting moment in the Maha Rushie's quest to entertain and dazzle.
