they're not going to like it one bit.

will survive and smell a lot better without this cretin stinking up the airwaves.



Companies still suspending their ads on Limbaugh's show, but they need to make it permanent

Killah, I say.
Just killah.
WooHoo!

Gene Weingarten deserves at least a Pulitzer.
Even a Presidential Medal of Freedom, if it hadn't been so cheapened by the previous resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

A thing of great beauty in my current bummed-out state.

I'd like to see what the old humor writer Henry Allen would have done with Rushbo. He was pretty hard on people like Justice Rehnquist.

...tit-for-tat and very well done!

duties. He's funny as Hell, and he's also on the right side of the issues.

Talk about on a roll!

deal.

This is also the first time I've read anything by Mr. Weingarten but will be looking forward to reading more.

Love it.

If Limbaugh ever made it into "The Rooms", I, like just about everyone in "The Rooms" would do our best to put politics aside and we would try to save his life.

Next week, it will be 24 years since my last drink.

A week ago, I lost my little brother to this disease. This is serious, serious shit.

the loss of your brother. Gone to soon.

24 years is pretty impressive.

For many many years while working in Substance Abuse treatment programs,
I had a large framed picture of a dragon lounging against a tree, with a full belly, picking his teeth with a knight's lance, pieces of the knight's empty armor lying around
and at the bottom the caption:
"sometimes the dragon wins".
It always saddens me to hear that the dragon has won, and I glad to hear of your sobriety.

I see Limbaugh as just another addict "out there", careening around destroying all the lives he touches. Two points:

1.) It's as much for the rest of us as for him that I wish he would stop and get PROPER treatment.

2.) I blame those who allow this addict to remain behind that "Golden Mike", knowing what he's doing.

his life, those around him or the public at large, as long as he suits their purpose and continues to make lots of $$$$.

My bro sounded OK and, in fact, was a VP for a major corp. until the last few months. Takes a bit of experience to be able to see through the defences - especially if the addict only has to put up a brave face for a few hours at a time.

tapioca pudding and snot”;

Here's a picture of him with wife #4. I think it's pretty safe to say she's in love with his money. Still it's hard to imagine someone loving money that much.

You can see the dollar signs in her eyes. Enjoy the money while he keeps you in it, hunnybunny, cuz if you don't know now you will soon enough: you're easily replaced.

Just sayin'...

but methinks El Rushbo might go for the long-on-looks, short-on-brains type. Just sayin'...

but it's more like santorum than love.

Up with you.

Limbaugh isn't getting pwned by just Miss Fluke.

Just what I needed after a long day of boycotting and other activism.

Wooo, I gotta go bookmark it...it'll do wonders for my vocabulary, too!!!!!

No sarcasm thingie?

UPDATE: Not the Onion, but another humor writer. Sigh. We can dream.

except his Mommy? He's a psychiatric s*it storm.

it might be illegal.

A very anti-climactic, yet satisfying feeling results from this episode. It's 20 years too late. And tons of damage has been done.

Now for Rove. And Rumsfeld. And Bush. And hundreds of other Wizards.

Wonder how his followers are going to feel about being called
"bucktoothed rubes and nitwits"

And that:

"They know I can turn the bucktoothed rubes and nitwits against them in a heartbeat, and bucktoothed rubes and nitwits are now pretty much the base of their party, which has splintered into competing posses of angry, intolerant, ill-informed pinheads braying at each other ungrammatically.”

Reminds of the scene from "A face in the Crowd." The scene where he
thinks the mic is off and starts calling his listeners... well just watch it!

An early scene from that powerful movie.

It's spooky how accurate that is....

Nice one BHN

he will find it very difficult to just apologize:

All of this bile followed from his assertion that she testified about her own extremely active sex life.

Here's the thing: She didn’t. She said nothing whatsoever about her own sex life. She did not mention her own contraceptive needs at all: She spoke passionately and eloquently, and respectfully, about several friends of hers, Georgetown students who she said were diagnosed with medical conditions requiring the birth control pill, but who could not get it because they could not afford it. That was it. Here is the transcript of her testimony.

In short -- though Limbaugh doesn't address this in his mealy-mouthed, backhanded "apology" -- Limbaugh just made it all up, then went hog-wild, oinker-frenzy-wild, elaborating on it so he could call her names. Calling people names is bad, but calling people names based on your own invented calumny is the textbook definition of slander. The First Amendment does not protect you from that, nor should it. Even on an issue of public debate, and even if the victim is a public figure, as Ms. Fluke was here, "fair comment” is not a defense if you made up the central fact, and the central fact is wrong and is damaging and if your intent was to injure. I’m no lawyer, but as I see it: Check, check, check, check. I hope Ms. Fluke knows a good lawyer; if she doesn’t, one will find her, I suspect: The pockets here are really deep, though constricted and attenuated a bit: A LOT of flibbity-flabbity belly fat there, Rush. You really should do something about that, in your well-merited retirement.

It's time for Rush Limbaugh to retire, but before he does, he may well have to share some of his wealth with Sandra Fluke.

I think we won't see Rush Limbaugh's exit from the airwaves for quite some time. It will be a struggle, but he will go.

Without the hate, his show will be boring. And people will gradually get tired of his hate.

that's the part of the article I liked best...defending the slander argument. I hope she makes millions off of that gas bag.

he lied about Ms. Fluke's testimony. He made up shit she never said, and his brain-dead followers keep repeating his lies. burn in hell, m.f.

That's the thread title I'm waiting for.

And that's why "'fair comment' is not a defense for Rush Limbaugh." Anyone can make shit up, but it would be hard to make shit funnier than this. Let's see what the fat man has to say about it now?!

The best demolition of the Bloated Sack I have ever read.

K&R!

where he pointed out that Rush LIED about what she said, in order to criticize her.

They must have gone over every syllable with magnifying glasses.

Excellent piece

You know Rush, if you were really serious about half the things you said, you would quit while you could. Even if Fluke were to sue you (which is unlikely, as she knows she would be demonized) you could still have enough cash to sail off.

Think about what made your friend Andy die so young, a conscience cannot be kept asleep forever. And even though I am agnostic, I do know there is truth in the sayings of a Carpenter from Palestine: "what does it matter to gain the whole world and lose your soul?"

...unfathomably ignorant jackasses who have to be told what to hate.

but before getting your hopes up...
