      Remember a couple of days ago when Rush said Obama was going to exploit Kennedy's illness?

        Rushbo has a track record of constantly accusing others of doing the very things he does al the time. Always makes me laugh he hear him say "they are lying" or "they are hypocrites". Those 2 should be his middle names.

        Every one of Limbaugh's shows occurs in a vacuum...once it ends it's as though it never happened. The next day he can completely contradict what he said the day before and it doesn't matter...yesterday never happened.

          I would go further and say every single statement he makes occurs in a vacuum because he frequently contradicts what he said previously on the same show. Or maybe it's just like that thing with goldfish not being able to remember what they saw the last time they swam around the bowl.

      And so it beings. We'll talk Fairliberal's apology now (Fair was saying on another thread that we were unfairly saying that Limbaugh et all would talk bad about Kennedy today - using the old line of, liberals like to pronounce you guilty until proven innocent).

      I'm sure that this will just be the tip of the old iceberg no doubt.

        LOL! That was in reposnse to one of mine I believe!

        But not yet... I have to admit that, so far, Limbaugh has not been as obnoxious as I would have guessed. The day is still young however, and results are still coming in.

      Political commentator, radio host, college drop-out, alleged
      closet homosexual, and, as recently revealed, synthetic heroin
      drug addict, Rush Hudson Limbaugh III is probably the best
      known neocon personality in American radio.

      Born in Cape Girardeau, MO, in 1951, Limbaugh spent many of
      his formative years pursuing a career in radio.

      After using his pilonidal cyst - a congenital birth defect - to
      avoid military service in the Vietnam War, Limbaugh briefly
      worked for radio stations in Pittsburgh, PA and Kansas City,
      MO. Fired from both jobs, he worked as a wiener salesman for
      the KC Royals baseball franchise, eventually slithering back into
      the radio business.

      In 1971 Limbaugh attended Southeastern Missouri University,
      where, according to reports, he had a brief but heated affair
      with Elliot Sanders. So gay is Limbaugh, guarantees Sanders,
      that, "none of his marriages was ever consummated."

      Many of Limbaugh's fans staunchly deny the man's alleged
      homosexuality, and Limbaugh himself says the rumors are
      politically motivated lies. However, one is forced to doubt
      Limbaugh, who has a history of denying and balking at rumors
      that are later revealed to be true. His pilonidal cyst, his
      pseudonymous career in Pittsburgh radio, and his addiction to
      Oxycontin are all facts which Limbaugh initially denied or
      concealed.

      After more failed stints with Missouri radio stations Limbaugh
      moved to Sacramento, CA, where he met and became "friends"
      with Norm Woodruff, a flamboyant, openly gay man with a
      great deal of influence in the local radio scene. Woodruff, who
      mentored Limbaugh in the ways of affluence and elitism (traits
      Rush mocks today), would later died of AIDS.

      Through his ties to Woodruff Limbaugh was given Morton
      Downey, Jr.'s spot on KFBK News Talk 1530 a.m. Within
      twelve months Limbaugh had become the most popular radio
      personality in Sacramento. In 1988 he signed on with EFM
      Media Management, working from New York City.

      For a short while Limbaugh plateaued, until the success and
      enormous popularity of a Democratic president provided him
      with a reason to whine.

      The popularity and charisma of President Clinton enabled
      Limbaugh's hate-filled show to appeal to millions of bitter
      American conservatives. Limbaugh's unique combination of
      prevarication and histrionics provided a sense of unity for
      otherwise incompatible demographics, such as Klansmen and
      Wall Street stock brokers.




      For years Limbaugh fooled his audiences into
      believing his whining was something much more noble.


      By the mid-90's Limbaugh's promoters had co-opted his show
      to enough nationwide syndicates to claim Limbaugh was the
      "most popular radio personality" in the country. Technically this
      was false. However, the free handout out of Limbaugh's show
      to any station that wanted it resulted in Limbaugh being the
      most listened-to man on a.m. radio.

      Inspired by Clinton-induced vitriol, Limbaugh paid a ghostwriter
      to author for him See, I Told You So (1992), Nanny Nanny,
      Boo Boo (1993), and I'm Rubber. You're Glue. Whatever You
      Say Bounces off Me and Sticks to You (1994).

      After miserably failing on television, Limbaugh spiraled into
      depression, eventually becoming addicted to pain pills
      prescribed to him for his pilonidal cyst (a.k.a. "Butt Boil"). For
      nearly eight years Limbaugh abused Hydrocodone, a synthetic,
      stronger version of heroin.

      In effect, Limbaugh spent nearly a decade stoned off his
      bleeding backside, and ultimately built up his tolerance to levels
      requiring dozens of pills per day in order to, as Limbaugh once
      confided in his maid, "get my buzz on."

      A textbook example of the damning effects of drug abuse,
      Limbaugh's addiction precipitated a swift drop in weight,
      deafness in both ears, and a marked decline in mental faculties.
      He also became increasingly paranoid - requiring his provider to
      meet him at night behind restaurants, next to dumpsters,
      where he'd hand over cigar boxes stuffed with "cabbage" (cash)
      in exchange for some "little baby blues" (pills). Limbaugh's
      desperation peaked in 2003, when he groped his provider in an
      attempt to check her for a wire tap.

      By late 2003 the whole world knew of Limbaugh's drug
      addiction, though by virtue of their lack of character the
      majority of his fan base remained loyal listeners. Limbaugh's
      show remained popular, despite the rapid rise of Liberal Talk
      Show host Al Franken and the dogged attempts by the Bush
      administration to shut down long time talk show staple Howard
      Stern.

      In May 2004 Rush's third wife, Marta, grew tired of never
      having sex with her allegedly closeted homosexual of a
      husband, and so asked for a divorce. Limbaugh complied after his
      desperate wife agreed to never reveal the true nature of Rush's
      sexual perversion.

      He continues to talk out of his rear end. It won't be long before he starts bashing Kennedy in only a style Limbaugh can do.

      I posted the very 1st comment from redstate last night about Kennedy, and as expected it was typical reichwing.

      Hell is a better place tonight.

      Also loved the hitler and stalin comparisons...

      We can at least thank Rush for coming out as anti-death penalty. His brave stance against a state's interference in our right to live our life. " The government does not have the right to take what God has gifted."

      Hope he stands by those brave words when someone calls him on it.

      What I love most about Rush is that I don't have to listen to him, and that those who do listen to him really aren't very bright.
