LOL at Rush Limbaugh

Will right wing wackos try to spin this or are they over Rush, too?

snicker

 RUSH LIMBAUGH: 'HOW DID BOB DOLE'S LUGGAGE GET ON MY AIRPLANE? I TOLD MY DOCTOR I WAS WORRIED ABOUT THE NEXT ELECTION'... ...CUSTOMS DID NOT BELIEVE ME WHEN I TOLD THEM THAT I GOT THOSE PILLS AT THE BILL CLINTON PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY'...  

Technically, it does. Per AP: "Rush Limbaugh could see a deal with prosecutors in a long-running prescription fraud case collapse after authorities found a bottle of Viagra in his bag at Palm Beach International Airport. The prescription was not in his name."

Also of note for latecoming prospective rofflers: Viagra in the personal effects of an unmarried man travelling alone on holiday in the Dominican Republic.

Now, is that not the answer you were looking for? You look stunned in there. What were you getting at with the difference between a blogger and a columnist? (interruption) Mmm-hmm. Mmm-hmm. Mmm-hmm. Mmm-hmm. Mmm-hmm. Mmm-hmm. Mmm-hmm. No.

and he doesn't know who instapundit is?? what a liar.

I will say I like it when folks deconstruct things and show the mechanics of non-mechanical processes

What is the deal with the mannequin (at least I really hope that's a mannequin) on the right?

LOL @ the impression at the end of that video

Rush Limbaugh too stupid to use a computer, or at least, search a PDF:

LIMBAUGH: In addition, they have reformatted the bill -- they've made it a PDF file when they posted it. Now, for those of you that don't use computers, basically what that means is that it cannot be keyword searched. A PDF file is essentially a picture of a page. And, so, you can read every page, but you cannot keyword search it. It's not a text file as legislation normally is as posted on these public websites. They don't want anybody knowing what's in this; they want it happening as fast as possible so nobody can know what's in it.

PDF file in question.

thanx to the washingtonian: batshit crazy ol' pat robertson thinks limbaugh is out of line for wishing that president obama fails:

Robertson told U.S. News that he wants to give President Obama "the benefit of every doubt, and I definitely hope he succeeds." Dan Gilgoff followed up, asking, "So, you don't subscribe to Rush Limbaugh's 'I hope he fails' school of thought?" Robertson responded:

"That was a terrible thing to say. I mean, he's the president of all the country. If he succeeds, the country succeeds. And if he doesn't, it hurts us all. Anybody who would pull against our president is not exactly thinking rationally."

lol @ rush thinking a pdf is a jpg

olbermann had a hilarious rant about that last night

It's not like I expect 58-yr-olds to be the savviest computer users, but thinking it's rant-worthy is really extra dense.

maybe we could revive the ebonics movement just to publish legislation in urban dialect and make his chubby heart palpitate

anti-christmas legislation

Barney Frank, the Banking Queen.

(Starts @ about 2:00)

I usually hate Olbermann's voices, but his Limbaugh is pretty funny. He's been practicing.

Rush Limbaugh completely OTM in that clip above, especially in regard to callers. You wouldn't believe how many hosts who will be on a pretty coherent train of thought that will immediately throw on the brakes and bring their show to a grinding halt because they see a phone call coming in on the control room screen.

"Hello, caller? Hello? Did they hang -- Caller? Thought they were there again for a moment. Oh, well. 800-345-TALK if you're still out there somewhere. Now where was I? Oh, yes, the effect the stimulus package will have on St. Louis' economy..."

From a Media Matters for America search of "false" in the Recovery_Bill_Div_B.pdf -- Division B of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 -- in Adobe Reader:

looool

Rush Limbaugh completely OTM in that clip above

I;d never clain he's not a consummate professional at shit shovelling

Honestly, one you accept that he's a sack of manure stuffed in a suit, Rush is kind of fun to listen to. O'Reilly, same thing.

There was really good piece on Rush in the NYT Sunday mag a few months ago, I think. He makes no bones whatsoever about being non-ideological, in that he's 100% in it for the money.

He also likes France!

I sincerely doubt Olbermann is a differenter, more specialer kind of soul.

Rush is just a doofus. Most right-wingers who listen to him (who i've encountered) are aware that he's an entertainer first and foremost.

but Hannity, O'Reilly and that shitstain Beck are on what is consider "the news" by lots of people, and that's, you know, fucked up.

rush, i have to admit, is very talented at radio. it's tough to fill up 4 hours of airtime a day. the writer of that profile didn't have anything to say about limbaugh pushing information on air that is just factually incorrect, which does a disservice to his own listeners, not to mention the general discourse in this country..

The writer of the profile was also a right winger.

Rush is just a doofus. Most right-wingers who listen to him (who i've encountered) are aware that he's an entertainer first and foremost.

Not the ones I know!

Mom takes him very seriously.

hannity/o'reilly/beck.. yeah. depressing that so much of cable news is just opinion shows presented as news, that play fast and loose with the facts & fill up airtime with guests who are still playing 'crossfire'

yeah the writer of the profile thinks the 'liberal media' just doesn't appreciate el rushbo.

My dad and I don't talk about Rush. Verboten. Too sensitive a topic. He has a (old overinflated white) man crush.

oh sure, not saying that he doesn't help shape discourse (both on the right & the left), sadly...

xxxpost

http://www.theonion.com/content/files/images/Asian-Teen-R.jpg

Great choice of wall color.

Is that your dad, kenan?

Yes.

Rush is just a doofus. Most right-wingers who listen to him (who i've encountered) are aware that he's an entertainer first and foremost.

Uh, given what happened to that Congressbro who said something bad about Rush and then had to go begging forgiveness, I find this hard to believe.

rush is mock-heroic and grandiose and all, and while i'm sure he has a high opinion of himself i don't think he buys into his spiel even as he expects his audience to do so. o'reilly/olberman/hannity/savage do a lot of bullshit riffing too but i hear them as being more 'into it'. rush would be most like ann coulter in that respect, in my opinion, though her persona is more spiteful than self-aggrandizing.

(((Actually my dad has unkempt silver hair and a big bushy silver mustache. And apart from that, looks exactly like me.)))

Hannity, Beck, Schnitt, et al are "serious" because they rarely joke! Meanwhile the Rush listeners I know consider him an entertaining soothsayer.

Oh man try and find one pundit that has an audience who doesn't believe what they're saying most of the time (except for maybe the Comedy Central parody ones, and even then...). Peeps take them really seriously & it's amazing how influential their opinions are on most of their audience.

Also I can't get listening to these dudes for the lols. I'm getting tired of even Keitho and stuff, I just can't handle the smug.

pancakes i have no idea what you're talking about, please provide citation of this congressbro episode

abbott what of ms. maddow, she is also smug but much less of a blustering blowhard

Gingrey apologizes to El Rusho.

and again, i'm reducing it down to folks i know personally (family, ex-coworkers), and while they agree with Rush on basic matters, they can sort of chuckle at his blowhard-ness ("lol that scoundrel etc").

OTOH I've got grandparents who think those fuckos on Fox are really giving it ot them straight.

Yeah elmo Rachel is my homegirl, she's funny and informative and still has some perspective/empathy and isn't shouty and shit.

I'm getting tired of even Keitho and stuff, I just can't handle the smug.

Keith is getting on my nerves, it's true. I think the last time I watched three nights in a row, he dedicated a good five minutes each night to attacking O'Reilly. They both need a time out to learn to behave, because daddy has better things to do than listen to you kids.

Love Rachel! Omg squee.

Rachel also doesn't wuss out on issues.

yeah i can really only take Olbermann in bite-sized best-of chunks on youtube.

A thing that bothers me about Keith, and this is totally silly, is that he calls Bill O'reilly 'Billo.' This bcz the name Billo only makes me think of a cute baby hippo. I don't know why. So Keith associating Bill O'Reilly with that cute hippo, it just kills me!

http://www.clipartof.com/images/clipart/xsmall2/13400_cute_blue_hippo.jpg

"Billo" vs "Papa Bear"

(answer: papa bear. still makes me chuckle)

I really like Maddow's set design. Not sure why, exactly.

http://cdn.nextsmallthings.com/coolchaser.com/thumb-4702135.jpg

lil' Billo in love.

Billbo Windbaggins

yeah i'm down w/ RM. i like her little perma-smirk.

So deliberately cute when she's angry

I drew you guys a picture of the real Billo that Keith is slandering:

http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/8687/billoby5.jpg

I worked at a restaurant Rush's brother owned in the early 90's and waited on Rush multiple times. Fucker never tipped!

Maybe he didn't think he had to bcz it was his brother's restaurant, plus bcz he is a jerkwad?

Yeah, probably. He was one of those people who wouldn't even make eye contact with you while ordering.

maybe he was afraid he would cry, or catch compassion

or he really DIDN'T approve of the service?!?

tipping would have just encouraged you to stay in your lowly job, rather than striving for the greatness rush saw within you. teach a man to fish, he'll eat for a day. kick 'im in the balls, he won't think about how hungry he is for at least 15 or 20 minutes.

i mean, give a man a fish.

give a fish a bicycle.

never mind.

imagine the poor sod who had to serve both limbaugh and justice bork on the same night ...

Also - if you ever find yourself trapped in SE Missouri, you can always do this:

Rush Limbaugh Hometown Tour
Cape Girardeau is the hometown of radio phenomenon Rush Limbaugh. Our self-driving tour will take you past the hospital where Rush was born and his childhood home. You will see where he attended school and cruised Broadway, traditional during Rush's high school days. Included is the barbershop where he shined shoes and the radio station where the record-breaking broadcaster started his career.View the sites that influenced Rush's early years. For more information on self-driving tour, call the Convention and Visitors Bureau at (800) 777-0068.

I guess they decided to leave out the college he attended and flunked out of.

He got his diploma at the university of shining shoes in real life

Shining Shoes and Cruising Broadway: An American Story

Maybe he just didn't hear you, Darin.

To be fair, he was jowl-deep in nachos whenever I dealt with him. Maybe I was breaking his focus.

jowl-deep is possibly the worst thing i have ever heard of and i've heard of things ok

To be fair, he was jowl-deep in nachos whenever I dealt with him. Maybe I was breaking his focus.

yeah, getting b/w a fat pig like Limbaugh and his food probably isn't a very smart idea

anyone who's interested in conservative talk-radio, what its strategies for success are, what the hosts actually believe, should really read this article by a former talk-radio producer:

WTMJ's former news director reveals how talk show hosts like Charlie Sykes work to get us angry.

Monday 11/24/2008

http://rawstory.com/08/news/2009/09/17/limbaugh-we-need-segregated-buses/

Rush is nearing total incoherency, I can't even begin to untangle the logic here

“If homosexuality being inborn is what makes it acceptable, why does racism being inborn not make racism acceptable?” the talk show host asked. “I’m sorry — I mean, this is the way my mind works. But apparently now we don’t choose racism, we just are racists. We are born that way. We don’t choose it. So shouldn’t it be acceptable, excuse — this is according to the way the left thinks about things."

Referring to an incident in which a white student was beaten by black students on a bus, Limbaugh said: “I think the guy’s wrong. I think not only it was racism, it was justifiable racism. I mean, that’s the lesson we’re being taught here today. Kid shouldn’t have been on the bus anyway. We need segregated buses — it was invading space and stuff. This is Obama’s America.”

wtf america

THIS FAT FUCK HAS GOT TO BE ONE OF THE MOST PUNCHABLE FUCKS EVER.

I'm pretty adamantly not a puncher, and I would punch the shit out of him.

Fuck punching, asshole deserves to be shot. Multiple times.

I listened to the linked audio clip. It was incoherent, but I didn't think he was calling for segregated buses. He was mocking Pres. Obama. That is, I thought he was sarcastically saying "In Obama's new America, we ought to have segregated buses, to keep the racist white kids away from the innocent black kids." Now, that's also bats--t crazy, but I got the impression from reading the comments upthread that Limbaugh was saying that white kids need to be on separate buses to protect them from violent black kids. Frankly, I assume he would say something like that. But I didn't hear him say it in the clip.

FWIW, I hate Rush Limbaugh. And I'd pay to see this: "I'm pretty adamantly not a puncher, and I would punch the shit out of him."

I keep waiting, apparently in vain, for there to be a 'Face in the Crowd' type moment where some Patricia Neal type character unveils swine like Beck and Limbaugh for the craven, contemptuous, immoral strivers they are. Otoh, maybe they're really that stupid.

seriously

what could they even be saying off-mike

I'd like to watch someone who is a puncher punch the shit out of him, frankly.

I watched a few minutes of that "Bully Gets Bullied" video clip. I was sort of amazed it played out the way it did. Kind of awesome to see the audience's anger intimidate Limbaugh a bit.

Alex, imagine Tyson pummeling him.

Tyson in his prime, yes.

(Or even now would be fine, I guess)

You punchers are way too polite

Ok, tbh, I WOULD like to see him shot out of a canon into a brick wall.

thats more like it

Or a cannon, even. I believe the velocity is greater that way.

That video waits way too long to get to the dick punching.

Like if you are going to call your song "Punch 'Em In The Dick" someone should get punched in the dick in like the first 30 seconds of the video or failing that AT LEAST by the chorus.

you got past 10 seconds?

I got like two minutes in before I was like WTF there is no ACTUAL dick punching going to happen.

So disappointing.

If someone tells me the lead singer gets repeatedly pummelled at the end I watch with the sound off.

It's touching to see liberal war pigs embracing their essential brutality.

For all his vile spew, Limbaugh is a talented broadcaster, which is one more asset than Joe Biden possesses.

LOLOL are you channelling Camille Paglia now? Seriously dude you need a better hobby. Posting on this message board full time is not good for you.

Discussing Rush only works if you have to deal with nutso family members quoting him.

Limbaugh was most entertaining when he did that impression of Michael J Fox, that was just so talented.

Man who made himself deaf with illegal abuse of prescription mocking someone with an actual disease. What a country!

prescription drugs

Hey but on the plus side at least he isn't Joe Biden! </Morbs>

Morbs was biden his time for the opportunity to use that comment.

That is to say that I don't think he really as a deep and unabiden love for Rush.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8ocmd2Nz2U

I listened to the linked audio clip. It was incoherent, but I didn't think he was calling for segregated buses.
just wondering why you would take literally someone who, to put it kindly, is a blowhard fatfuck who deliberately misrepresents everything his opponents claim

I don't take him literally. And as I said, I wouldn't be surprised to hear Limbaugh call for segregated buses, whether he did so overtly or impliedly or by distorting his opponent's views to justify it.

I just didn't hear him do so in that audio clip.

I used to correspond with Howie Klein (pres of Sire and Reprise at different times, I think) when we both posted on some political newsgroups in the late '90s. He looped Limbaugh saying "I'm a Nazi" over a cheesy techno beat for a benefit CD that he sent me - I wonder if I still have it...

http://contexts.org/socimages/2009/09/19/rush-limbaugh-lets-resegregate-buses/

I don’t think he himself is actually calling for segregated buses here, I think he’s saying that in “Obama’s America,” we’re supposed to believe it was perfectly okay for Black kids to beat up a White kid, and that probably the White kid shouldn’t even be there. It was more of his hyperbolic “Black people are in charge and are calling all the shots now” rant. It’s more of the expression of “White people, fear for your lives!” panic that illustrates that there’s a lot more discomfort with a Black president (and the symbolic change in race relations) that we might have thought after the outpouring of support at the Inauguration and his first couple of months in office.

Die Rush Die!

I feel bad wishing death on a man who probably has a family...but maybe some sort of outcome where he loses his vocal cords and can no longer write would be ok. He is truly a terrible man.

Yeah, I'm with this ^^^^^.

ditto that

Can he also be in horrendous pain for the rest of his non-speaking, non-writing life?

Yes, and although I realize it's juvenile, I must state that I wish he will have constant and severe diarrhea to the end of his days.

Oh fuck off.

We aren't seriously suggesting the man should be allowed to die.

We are suggesting it with clown shoes and hats.

umm that wasn't really me btw

maybe it wasn't really harbl ; )

i just popped over to check the comments at michellemalkin dot com sorry!

Guyz this is far from the most evil man on the planet, and I don't wish for his death. He's a tap-dancing monkey.

Who doesn't like a tap-dancing monkey?

a tap-dancing monkey with mind boggling influence. Yeah, he's a total idiot and no one I respect takes him seriously. That said, both my dad and my gf's dad listen to Limbaugh and repeat his positions ad nauseum.

Ask them to follow their leader's example. Then leave quickly.

As a side note, Limbaugh has wished death on other people.

Shall I quote Ben Kenobi now, or leave that to be gleaned later?

Oh right: "Oh he's not dead...not yet."

Shall I quote Ben Kenobi now, or leave that to be gleaned later?

re: re: Rush [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

So many, like Mark and myself, have personal stories about Rush's kind generosity. But there are millions of people who have never met him who are e-mailing me today telling me they went to morning Mass with his intention in mind, that they have their whole family praying for him, wanting him to rest and be back for more excellence in broadcasting for years to come. It's really a beautiful and remarkable thing to see how much of an impact he's made on their lives. These aren't talking heads. These are folks who try to listen in their cars, in their offices, at home. These are his fans, who are grateful to him, and who love the man. It's not a cult-like American Idol phenom. It's real, based on over two decades now of earning loyalty, through talent and hard work. The man devours, processes, and analyzes information like few others I've ever encounteres — and we know around these parts quite a few who do such things for a living!

The man devours

True.

"Dear, I'm going to morning Mass to pray for Rush. You comin'?"

Ugh. I can't stand Kathryn Lopez.

and we know around these parts quite a few who do such things for a living!

...but hey, none of them are editors or proofreaders.

These aren't talking heads

Odd, I would have thought David Byrne would be first in line to pray for Rush.

Put me in the 'praying for him to lose abilities to speak' category.

The man distorts, ignores, and fabricates information like few others I've ever encounteres

Rush's kind generosity

Does not compute.

I'm sure AIPAC appreciates his generosity

I'd rather have him around as an outlet for conservative anger though.

plus he's probably not going anywhere anytime soon. looking forward to him eventually in desperation mode, though, the sad old hate shaman, flaming out. should be quite the spectacle

why would he flame out?

I don't expect a Beck-stye collapse. If his ratings are down, blame the fading of Obama's novelty. Ratings will increase in 2012.

i don't see him signing off gracefully. i imagine some kind of epic three hour john galt rant and then his head explodes into his golden microphone

Truthfully I see him dying due to his lifestyle choices instead of some sort of epic flameout.

when this fuck dies i'm going to throw an all-night party, you are all invited

Pretty sure he is dead, and has been for some time, but before he went - pills, I heard - he locked himself in his bunker for a few months and just talked, about things that had happened and things he thought would happen. Now they just edit and play his archives as needed, with the occasional impersonator subbing in when they need something really specific.

Anyway, that's what I heard.

it's amazing who you can fool with a colon puppet & a microphone

i think they just prop up a potato sack on one of those cans of caramel corn

As his bouts of tastelessness go, that's pretty mild (no yelling, at least). I'm guessing he's holding back for fear that even his own audience would push back--I'm sure Williams' appeal covered the political spectrum.

Compared to the Michael J. Fox thing a few years ago, this is definitely mild.

Still, Limbaugh's death will (and should be) a celebration.

yeah but being able to rant about Limbaugh is like, the surnrise, or eggs for breakfast. it's part of life's rich tapestry LET ME HAVE THIS

a world without Limbaugh > being able to rant about him

true

Sex tourism in Costa Rica has been a consequence of the rapid growth of international tourism in the country, and the country is being promoted as a popular destination for sex tourism.

I was hoping for something a bit more lolworthy than his just saying more stupid shit on the air. Like cutting off the last joint on his pinkie finger in a bagel-related accident while loaded on prescription narcotics. He says stupid shit every day.

the whole "small government" thing has never been true, why start now

So we have a teacher barricaded in a classroom with no students. No children. No students anywhere around. And starts firing some shots. Barricaded in the classroom. And then here comes some cops and nab the guy is in custody and we got a breaking new stories: “Teacher in Custody After Georgia Police Respond to Report of Shots Fired.”

What are you thinking? When you heard me say this, folks, what were you thinking? What was running through your mind when you heard this? Come on. Be honest. Oh, of course this will be the argument we use for not arming teachers, but what if the whole thing’s a setup to create that very — what if the teacher is a radical leftist and does this to give the drive-bys a news story that they can then point to. “See, we can’t arm teachers.”

mmm yes what if

Then I would say that his plan worked

well whew glad that's settled

Damn I thought this was an RIP revive

Soon enough.

Rush in Pee

I've been hearing about his bullshit since the mid '80s. couldn't be soon enough

i'm amused that whenever i hear one of him or his fellow Teabag goons on the radio, they hardly ever take calls, and it's always a worshipper on the line. This kind of radio used to thrive on screaming matches, not sermons and hosannas.

“Republicans just don’t do this kind of thing. Even though every event, like mass shootings, remember, every mass shooting there is, the Democrats in the media try to make everybody think right off the bat that some tea partier did it, or some talk radio fan did it, or some Fox News viewer did it. Turns out, it’s never, ever the case. Not one of these bombs went off.

“And if a Democrat operative’s purpose here is to make it look like, hey, you know, there are mobs everywhere, the mobs are not just Democrat mobs. I mean, look at this, you’ve got people here trying to harm CNN, and Obama, and Hillary and Bill Clinton, and Debbie blabbermouth Schultz. It just — it might serve a purpose here.”

‘republicans don’t do these kinda things but rest assured, if we did, those bombs would go off, not like these democuck explosives’

Every mass shooting there is, the Democrats in the media try to make everybody think some fuckwit with a gun did it. Turns out it's always, always the case.

it's remarkable how clean and unambiguous the projection is.

"every bombing, every shooting, the democrats want you to believe that it was a Republican. by the way, this bombing, it was a Democrat"

don't worry, when the facts emerge about this, rush will definitely go on air and make a correction to what he said so that listeners of his show aren't confused

Gino from the Bronx laying into Rush, they should give the show to Gino!

"Why should he go into a chamber run by lunatics who have an irrational hatred for him?"

“Wait until it is discovered that homosexuality is genetic, and wait until prospective parents could be told that their child might be gay at birth. You know who’s going to do the fastest 180 from pro-choice to pro-life? The entire homosexual community is going to become pro-life overnight. I’m just telling you, you start cheapening life this way, and then you cheapen it even further by claiming a baby isn’t even a person, a baby is not a human being, then, folks, you’re next.

“We’re all next, depending on how much power they get, and the basis on which they determine who gets to live and who doesn’t. And what if down the road, a bunch of liberals decide, you know, rather than have to put up with a bunch of opposition, a bunch of conservatives, let’s just wipe them out. You think that will never happen. It can happen.”

makes u think

"First of all, Gordon Sondland was a Jeb Bush supporter..."

classic

lol

Jeb!

We all know the Bush family in no way represents the Republican Party or its true values, aside from providing the party with a senator, a vice president, two presidents, and two governors.

Also a representative, CIA director, and... of course... the Access Hollywood tape

"He's there to get the United States out of meaningless relationships. It's one of the reasons he was elected. It's one of the big points that reverberated with the American people. And to do this, Trump had to take on the entire United States foreign policy national security apparatus who were much in favor of the status quo. Trump wanted to upend it. So there were two things. Trump's not wanting to just, without any concerns or assurances, they don't want to fund a regime that's not going to reform itself. He doesn't want to perpetuate corruption and all kinds of dangerous stuff being done with U.S. money. It makes perfect sense that he would ask for some sign that they were serious about reform before providing U.S. aid -- which was ultimately provided, by the way.

So, the context of this is that Trump knows he's dealing with a regime, a nation, that has just been led by a very corrupt bunch that's been voted out. That corrupt bunch was working to undermine his election, working with the DOJ, the Obama DOJ, the FBI, and all that. Of course he's not going to trust these people. He's going to have to see some indication that they are serious about reforming before they get U.S. aid. He's not just going to provide it willy-nilly. And so asking for some kind of show that the Ukrainian new President Zelensky is serious is part of the deal. He's just not going to write him a blank check. There was no quid pro quo...."

even if you somehow swallow all of that, you have to believe that trump was willing to take the risk of tasking a backchannel group (led by the smartest man he knew, rudy giuliani) to take on the near and dear subject of corruption in Ukraine, and that it just happened to be Ukraine, and the subject of his earnest effort to reduce corruption in Ukraine juuuuust happened to be a Biden.

seems like a p meaningful relationship if the Ukraine managed to almost throw the election to Hillary

but yeah Rush's rhetorical sleight-of-hand is always p amazing

I know advanced lung cancer has a bad rep. However...

where was it 30 years ago?

well smoking a cigar at every photoshoot catches up to oyu

If it just causes him to retire and spend his last years quietly spending his money, then it will have done enough.

Rush has been a longtime "smoking = lung cancer"...well maybe not "skeptic" but skeptical that it's as dangerous as people say.

Please watch this video if you think this shit is funny. You're sorely mistaken.

“We’re shutting down our country because of the — the cold virus, which is what coronaviruses are. This is COVID-19, the 19th version of the coronavirus. We’re shutting it — can you imagine our enemies watching this? You think the Chinese are not laughing themselves silly over how easy this has been? And it continues. This has been easy.

“Can you imagine — Vladimir Putin’s sitting over there, ‘Look, I tried to ruin Donald Trump with this stupid story about he and I colluding to steal the election from Hillary. And I worked with the FBI and I was working with the CIA and I was planting all kinds of stuff, and that went nowhere. And the Chi-Coms run this scam on some sort of virus, and the Americans do this?!'”

COVID-19 is actually named for 2019, the year it emerged, not because it’s the “19th version” of anything.
