I think muddying the definition of art and the mechanics with which art is created doesn't do either justice. Art is simply creative expression - that Limbaugh quote could be seen as a form of art (although it's a very contrived example for me to make).
Really (in my opinion) everything we do to express ourselves is some form of art, and the works that we consider 'great art' is that something that represents a combination of something humans can do (draw, write, sing, design, ...) and something that contains a meaning found within the content of the physical application that draws a reaction from either the artist or audience.
The real beauty of art is that everything can be art to someone, no matter how bad technically or lacking in content it can be. My favourite example of a great piece of art that has no content (and is fully participatory!) is Cage's 4'33" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoAbXwr3qkg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoAbXwr3qkg). To people who aren't interested in experimental music or musique concréte, a pre-warning, there's 0 technique or musical skills required to play the piece.
