LOL at Rush Limbaugh

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...

Great choice of wall color.

Is that your dad, kenan?

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.

wow, amazing...

sure...i mean it went so well last time

They've photoshopped his belly in that pic right?

who's shocked? i'm shocked

https://hotair.com/archives/2018/02/08/rush-gop-budget-just-dont-worry-much-national-debt-anymore/

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.
