Nominating him for one of America’s least influential people of 2012, Touré played a pre-election clip of Limbaugh saying that his “feeling” in his “gut” led him to believe that Mitt Romney would win in a landslide with more than 300 Electoral College votes.

“He’s not a serious thinker,” Touré said of Limbaugh. “He’s corrosive to America.”

“Listening to him as anything but entertainment? Come on. Stop it,” Touré concluded.
