  It's amazing how true this guy's statements are, provided you change them to mean the EXACT OPPOSITE of what he says.

  Doesn't thatsound reasonable? It's unccanny.

      And Roberts.
      And Alito.
      
      But yeah, Scalia is the worst.

      Clarence Thomas had a doozy today, in an 8-1 decision where he thought it was okay to do a strip-search of a young school-aged girl for Ibuprofen because she didn't have to strip naked. She only had to strip to her bra and panties, and then she had to pull out the elastic on her bra and panties. Not a strip-search. Not unconstitutional, according to Thomas.
      
      MMfA asked what does Thomas have to do to get labeled as "out of the mainstream", like conservatives have labeled Sotomayor.
      
      I bet this won't do it, although he clearly is out of the mainstream of human beings.

        Thomas misread. He thought they were searching her for Diet Coke.

  Obama wants to put right wing republicans on the court? I thought he was supposed to be the most liberal president ever?

    It's incredible how much of Boss Hogg's show is built on telling his dittozombies what everybody "really means", regardless of how far his interpretation is from what the person actually said.
    
    One of the primary reasons I listen whenever I have the chance. It's hilarious to hear his callers debate and analyze Rush's strawmen as if they actually exist.

      I'll admit that's the only reason I listen too. The echo chamber is rather sad and amusing at the same time.

  And if Obama talks of Limbaugh on the court he actually means that he wants a fat drug addicted impotent PIG on the bench.

  As soon as Rush opens his mouth he is saying that he is going to lie and spew the most outrageously stupid talking points then smirk because his brainwashed Limborg hiveminders will eat it up as if it was somehow connected to reality

  Why? Why do they keep associating empathy with sympathy? They are not the same thing. You can have empathy for someone like Madoff, though just about no one would feel sympathetic towards him. You can feel sympathy for someone without being empathetic.
  
  I am just continually amazed and frustrated at how those like Rush attempt to rewrite the dictionary.
