Pssst: Clear Channel…. A Word about Limbaugh….

Seems like every day your star Brain Boy makes matters worse.

Friday, after the controversy was in full bloom, he doubles down and pulls out the slut slander.

Monday, after a weekend of hints on what a real apology looks like, Rush reiterates the general thrust of his insults and only regrets the use of two specific words – which he blames on his descending to the depths of liberals.

And Today? He laughs off the biggest boycott ever of a specific radio show and then tells his audience EXACTLY why their boycott is ineffective. That would be like Churchill getting on the radio and saying: “Those dumb Germans think they bombed our airfields when all they bombed was a bunch of inflatable decoys. Mu ha ha ha”

You just have to cringe thinking what’s coming tomorrow.

So what’s going on? You have on your hands a conflicted addict who, in his heart-of-hearts knows he needs serious help, but is too proud to ask for said help. And I guarantee he’ll continue that until an outside agency stops him.

So go ahead, leave him on the air. And remember all the dirty little secrets buried in that conflicted brain.

Sleep well.

Rush's radio station is owned by Bain (Romney) Capital. Probably why Romney doesn't want to come out strong against his moneymaker Rush. I heard Rush today and he's probably right, unfortunately . If you notice, many companies "suspended" their advertising or simply requested that their ads not be played during rushs program, ie clear channel is still getting a paycheck from them...

It really seems like he's stepped over the lines into obscenity there.
