Let's see now ... Rush Limbaugh is a recovering drug addict who has been divorced three times. He's fat and ugly and smokes cigars. And here are just some of his more sensitive comments about women:
Of the Rielle/John & Elizabeth Edwards triangle: "It just seems to me that John Edwards might be attracted to a woman whose mouth did something other than talk."
On Hillary Clinton during her Presidential campaign: "Meanwhile, Mrs. Clinton is where? She's in the Northeast. She is surrounded by her good old, white female, new castrati male base."
"I prefer to call the most obnoxious feminists what they really are: feminazis. I often use it to describe women who are obsessed with perpetuating a modern-day holocaust: abortion."
The compassionate gentleman who made these comments is the one that is proudly, brazenly beating his chest and proclaiming himself a force of nature, someone who deserves to debate President Obama.
Because he's so loved by his ditto-heads, I don't think Rush Limbaugh appreciates how desperately repellent he is to many Americans. Or maybe he doesn't care. Maybe he's just a very clever entertainer who understands that all this publicity about him being "the head of the Republican Party" is very good for his ratings among his core of true believers.
It's wonderful for Barack Obama. He doesn't have to demonize Rush -- Rush makes himself unlikable every time he turns his mic on. The people who spend their afternoons with Rush Limbaugh would never vote for Barack Obama anyway. There are those who are in the center, or who are undecided as to whether or not they support the President's policies. If most of them believes that Rush Limbaugh personifies the President's political opponents, that's very good news for the President.
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
The man is a bucket of slime!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post!
ReplyDeleteI'm just shaking my head.
ReplyDeleteHis ego and greed are driving him, clearly, and some in the WH are hip to that. So they tossed a small nugget out there and boy, he took the bait, didn't he? That ego self just couldn't let it go by. One look at him and you can tell he's a self-loathing miserable mess.
ReplyDeleteHe cares only about himself, his $$ and power. (sounds like certain administrations that have wreaked havoc on this country, eh?) And I am love love loving this drama because it's gonna blow up in his/their face sure as my ass is sitting on this couch.
So, grab some more popcorn and hang tight. This could be interesting.
Whenever I see Rush, I still can't believe that Daryn Kagan dated him! If I ever had a chance to interview Daryn, the first question I would ask her is "Why?!"
ReplyDeleteCrush Bibmbaugh! Now that the anti-science, superstition-based initiative presidency ends, we need several public works science Manhattan projects to make us great again and boost us out of this Grotesque Depression. First we must provide free advertising-based wireless internet to everyone to end land line monopolies. Then we must criscross the land with high speed rail. Because bovine flatulence is the major source of greenhouse gases, we must develop home growable microbes to provide all of our protein. Then we must create microbes which turn our sewage and waste into fuel right at home. This will end energy monopoly by putting fuel in our hands. We must address that most illness starts from behavior, especially from parents. Since paranoid schizophrenia is the cause of racism, bigotry, homelessness, terrorism, ignorance, exploitation and criminality, we must provide put the appropriate medications, like lithium, in the water supply and require dangerous wingnuts who refuse free mental health care to be implanted with drug release devices. Churches should be licensed to reduce supersition and all clergy dealing with small children should be psychiatrically monitored to prevent molesting. Osama bin Laden and Timothy McVeigh were the ultimate superstition based initiatives. Aborting future terrorists and sterilizing their parents is the most effective homeland security. Widen navigation straits (Gibraltar, Suez, Malacca, Danube, Panama and Hellspont) with deep nukes to prevent war. In order to fund this we must nationalize the entire financial, electrical and transportation system and extinguish the silly feudal notion that each industry should be regulated by its peers. Technology mandates a transformation of tax subsidies from feudal forecloseable debt to risk sharing equity. Real estate and insurance, the engines of feudalism, must be brought under the Federal Reserve so we may replace all buildings with hazardous materials to provide public works. Insects, flooding and fire spread asbestos, lead and mold which prematurely disables the disadvantaged. Disposable manufactured housing assures children are not prematurely disabled and disadvantaged. Because feudalism is the threat to progress everywhere, we must abolish large land holdings by farmers, foresters or religions and instead make all such large landholding part of the forest service so our trees may diminish greenhouse gases. We must abolish executive pay and make sure all employees in a company are all paid equally. We must abolish this exploitative idea of trade and monopoly and make every manufactured disposable cottage self sufficient through the microbes we invent.
