He thinks he is untouchable. He is berating his critics and putting down Bill Mahr for giving Obama a million dollars and saying he should give the money back because of what Mahr said about Palin. He said Obama will not give it back. He is putting down all comedians that use questionable language. He's saying he is getting more mail than he's ever received before. He says he is not afraid of words and that Obama is afraid of words and you can tell it by his speeches.
A caller was commenting on Obama's Press Conference and absolutely lying about what he said. He is insinuating Obama is the Anti-Christ. After he hung up Limbaugh said the guy is right.
I think we are going to witness a nervous breakdown by a public figure. Hopefully it will not be a lingering end and we can finally put a period at the end of the sad Limbaugh saga.

(21,925 posts)that he criticized Palin not because she has boobs but because she IS a boob. And that boob just happens to be a woman. He went out of his way to clarify that point. Limbaugh, however, made it clear day after day that he went after Fluke because she does have boobs, so to speak.

Keep pushing, folks. He needs to know he's gone too far and he's expendable. He'll do the rest himself.

(2,774 posts)His studio is in his house. He never has to face the public he so despises, that includes his listeners - whom he probably despises just as much if not more so (because even he doesn't reeeeealy believe the shit he spews)..

(34,414 posts)He thought she'd cower and disappear when faced with Rush's Mighty Wrath, but when she didn't back down a millimeter be came unglued. I think that's why he went off the way he did on Thursday and Friday. How dare that mere female stand up the the Great Rushbo?
It's a beautiful sight to behold.

Warpy
(111,305 posts)he is incredibly fragile. He was able to keep going only as long as his screeners protected him from hearing any dissent and his bodyguards kept him from seeing it.
The fact that he lost sponsors has really hit him hard.
The only question is whether they get him off the air before the massive flameout or he does it on the air.

(20,865 posts)don't get why suddenly everyone has figured out Rush is neither insightful political cometary or exactly family programing.
ohheckyeah
(9,314 posts)figured it out. There was momentum going over the other issues with bills being passed in Virginia and Oklahoma (personhood bills); the VA ultrasound bill, etc. Women were pissed and already coming together to fight those bills. Rush misread the political climate and stepped into a big pile of shit of his own making. This time, women were ready and had had enough. It's all about timing.

(20,865 posts)You have CEO after CEO going "oh this isn't the kind of family friendly political commentary we expect from Rush Limbaugh. We don't want our name associated with it" I say to that "oh horse shit, its the same show he's had for 30 years." These companies were happy as can be to sponsor hate speech when no one was pushing back on it hard enough. Hillary Clinton explain it was a RW conspiracy to trash the couple and the sponsors all laughed their ass to the bank. Suddenly there's momentum and these people finally find a conscious. Makes me sick. What Limbaugh bombing out on ESPN for racist comments after 3 shows wasn't a clue to these companies he is not the kind of man you want associated with your family friendly product?
Just goes to show these companies are soulless and the CEO's that run them clueless.
