      Well, to know him IS to despise him, after all.

      That's the closest to true statement from rush today. Real conservatives hate rush. The racists, fascists and fundies who hijacked the republican party love rush.

      Congratulations Flush Limbog, you singularly have done more to undo what was the UnitdStatesofAmerica while attempting to replace it with, your very own, personalized brand, of slimy–stinking [read: sh!t] doo-doo which too many brain–dead readers consumed, you big piece of stinking dreck!;>

      Rush is right. (yea I said it)
      the GOP doesnt like him, but not for the reason he said

      Really the reason they dont like him is that because of being able to get focused on an issue and get organized they have to consistently distract themselves to deal with the stupid idea's that you advance in their name (such as the birthers) and how to clean up that mess so they can get back to doing what they need to do to win elections and be taken seriously

      I don't know what the Republicans think of each other, but I'd bet his current rivals wouldn't care one wit about what ole Limbaugh said or did if they were still in power.

      So, Limbaugh has finally admitted what everybody already knows.
      He is white trash with money.

      I guess he had gastric bypass surgery after KO had the "bouncy bouncy" picture inset on his broadcasts. At least KO embarrassed him enough to lose the weight.

      "I of course am not an elite."
      How many days ago did he compare being entitled to health care with being able to stay at the Ritz, again?

        Plus, isn't he getting something like $40 million/year?

        According to John McCain, that's $35 million above "middle class" . . .

      Of course Republicans don't like him or listen to him. Think back to the Republican primaries. The candidate that he wanted to win did not. And the one candidate that he did NOT want to win, did.

      He doesn't seem to get that. Nor do his brainwashed masses.

      Maybe the Republican Party is finally trying to re-enter the mainstream.

      Enough of the lies Rush..Until someone in the hierarchy of the Republican party calls you out, you are still thier Spokesperson.
      This must make you feel good to have an entire Party afraid of you. Makes me feel good. You are solely responsible for showing any clear thinking American what Republicans truly stand for...NOTHING..they cannot even defend themselves from a CystJockey like you.

      Rush is an entertainer, a talking head thats only slightly more clever than his duck-speaking core audience of Limphibians. Pandering to them is his business and rabid jingo-lingo that doesn't skip a beat in the face of Facts or Common Sense is his gimmick.

      He is merely the Tweedledee to Michael Moore's Tweeedledum, who panders to his own doublethinkers, pseudo-intellectuals & dystopian operatchiks on the Left, and who's gimmick is to tug at the obligatory fifteen-minutes-of-liberal-guilt.

      The only marginally good things that actually can be said them and their followers, is at least they are dealing with issues and the political process, however misguided. Better that than the millions upon millions of disinterested herd-beasts out there, too occupied with pop-culture, free lunches, and pleasing their Masters to even remotely understand whats happening to this Society, this Nation, and this World.
