Limbaugh suggests Obama may be catalyst for Sanford's affair
June 25, 2009 1:51 pm ET
From the June 25 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show:


Contrary to media hype, Sarah Palin is very unpopular
Why is Rupert Murdoch so clueless about Fox News?

Sanford simply wanted to "enjoy life" because the country is being destroyed?
I guess a man who can't hold down a marriage would know a lot about "enjoying life."
The newspaper had the emails for months, but they hadn't done anything with them. If there hadn't been clear evidence that he had been out of the country, in Argentina where his lover lived, would we have ever heard about it.
And that's the problem with Republicans. As long as it's not public, they don't seem to care. Senator Tom Coburn knew about Senator John Ensign's affair in February, 2008, but he did nothing. If Ensign had to resign his leadership position in the Republican Party when his affair became public, because his affair showed that he couldn't lead the party, then Coburn should have insisted on his resignation 16 months ago.
But Coburn did not. So, it's not about the Republicans living to a higher moral standard. It's about pandering to their base.
And that makes them hypocrites.
I mean, am I supposed to WALK all the way to Argentina?
No, LuLu - if the Obamas had anything to do with it, it could ONLY have been dijon mustard . . .
While at the same time Governor Sanford skips town to Argentina to be with his other women on "Fathers Day"
Thank you so much Rush. I'm beginning to see the similarities.
Mr. News
LOVE.
He speaks in "Poop"!
Limbaugh, give it up.
I wonder if Rush really believes this insane 'theory'. Seems to me he is running out of fuel... none of his previous 'attacks' on Obama have worked so now - if Rush actually DOES believe the theory - the raw paranoia is coming out.
Rush's first thought was that Sanford left because of President Obama??
Rush has really gone to the zoo!
Is he even trying?
Maybe he should go back on vacation... the pain killers miss him.
Hey, if Rush can justify it then his loser listeners can just as well.
You said it, so I don't have to. Thanks.
Face it - we're at war. A war to maintain our traditional America. And sometimes during war, men need to kiss their wives goodbye, leave their families and travel to foreign lands to fight for the country they love.
Nobody wants to think that their relationships back stateside might suffer. They try not to think of it when they're doing their jobs in the jungle, or on the trail, or in the hot tub. But it's there. They ignore it, agree to the possibility of sacrifice, and concentrate on the job that needs to get done. Unprotected, they risk their own personal safety as they bravely mount an onslaught, perhaps their second of the evening. Tired, but pushing onward until they finally get that single shot; perhaps it's the one that keeps you in the lifestyle to which you've become accustomed.
Sanford doesn't deserve your derision. He deserves your commendation. He put his whole life and career on the line for you. And you have the temerity to call him spineless?
Sometimes I wonder if we deserve heroes like Gov. Sanford.
Awesome post.
Of course, snoop -- haven't you heard, Obama is
THE ANTICHRIST...
Is there any other kind?
Not only are his ideas inane, so's his speech.
Of course it was your first thought, Druggo, because you have no ability to think with facts and reality.
Please Rush instead of bad mouthing Obama everyday how about you give us brilliant plan to fix everything, I mean Hell, you went to High School.
Instead...KEEP TALKING, RUSH!! KEEP DIGGING!!
Hey Limpballs -- you make what, $40 million a year to spew BS; have you "lost your spirit and said to hell with it" yet??
And Rush, at some half a million dollars a week in earning (approx.) is all sad and unhappy because the people who believe in starting wars for profit, raping the environment, and taxing the poor to make the wealthy even more rich were, for SOME REASON, voted out of power? As whiny as he is, could it be Rush is a closet liberal?
We liberals caused your divorces, Rush! It's all our fault!
I wish I could walk on Rush's lawn every day, just to hear him go into all-out full-blown old-man hysterics for my own.
Remember the Shaggy song "Wasn't Me" from a few years ago? I guess Rush is doing the remix.
"But she caught me on the counter. It wasn't me (it's Obama). Saw me bangin' on the sofa. It wasn't me (it's Obama). I even had her in the shower. It wasn't me (it's Obama). She even caught me on camera. It wasn't me (it's Obama).
What's it look like at the bottom of the barrel Rush? Maybe one of his flunky listeners could help us out on this one. They seem to have a soft spot for second rate entertainers like Limbaugh. Oh, that's right he makes lots of money so he must be right. Or could it be he's found a bunch of zombies that fell for his act?
So listeners what's it like not having to use your brain? What are the marching orders from Rush today?
Well, I'm sure we'll find out tomorrow. I mean he's got a big bumm so there's probably a lot of stuff he can pull out of it.
So, if I'm disappointed about my financial future by my work's lousy 401K plan, it's their fault if I decide to enjoy my money while I have it by going out and buying half a ton of weed!
Starting to see the attractiveness of the "it's anybody's fault but mine" attitude.
Ironically, I don't think even Sanford would be willing to say Obama drove him to this, himself.
This guy is out for HIMSELF, PERIOD.
