Chris Baldwin: Time Magazine uses Rush Limbaugh response in Michelle Wie interview: Wie shows ignorance

All those Michelle Wie fans who think she's above TravelGolf.com are in for a rude awakening when the new issue of Time magazine hits newstands Monday. For Time uses our Rush Limbaugh interview to ask Wie a question in their Q&A.

While Time doesn't actually credit TravelGolf.com - we forgive them this time - it's apparent where this question comes from: Rush Limbaugh reportedly said something about you recently [calling her a "triumph of marketing"] A simple internet search will show you the only place where Limbaugh called Wie "a triumph of marketing."

Michelle Wie may not have sat down with TravelGolf.com yet. But she's already responding to our articles, answering our questions. In Time.

Answering them badly, it should be added.

For this is what Wie said to the Limbaugh "triumph of marketing" question:

Wie: "Huh? Who's that?"

Time: You don't know who Rush Limbaugh is?

Wie: Uh oh. He's on the radio. I don't listen to the radio much.

Yes, Michelle Wie is a high school junior who doesn't know who arguably the most influential radio show host in history is, a man who's affected presidential elections. As I've said before, you don't have to agree with Rush Limbaugh. You can say he's an idiot if you can find some facts to back that up with. But at least show some basic knowledge of the world.

Any high school junior should know who Rush Limbaugh is. This is basic stuff. Otherwise called having a clue.

You can bet Michelle Wie would know who Rush Limbaugh is if he was a "sparkly" thing she was paid big money to pimp though.

Good thing Michelle Wie's getting that great education, huh? Jeff Spicoli just called Michelle Wie his kind of student.
