Limbaugh Sez Cure for AIDS & Obesity is "Self-Control"
I wonder how much self-control Jeff Christie (aka Rush) was displaying the night he was arrested in the company of a male prostitute........

2. Has anyone discovered the cure for being
a right wing hate mongering moron? That disease has spread quite a bit in recent years. Is it an airborne phenomenon?

3. Limbaugh is a self-righteous, arrogant, hypocritical, ignorant ass.

Not to mention being a liar and a bigot.

4. Didn't ole Rush...
..have that gastric bypass operation? Not sure, just thought that was the case. And if so, isn't that telling about his own "self-control". :boring:

5. I'm Pretty Sure He Had a Frontal Lobe Bypass
That may explain his extreme stupidity.

17. Yup, bypassed Straight Through To The...
anal sphincter. Half his brain tied behind his back and the other half
down the can. Doesn't seem to account for his weight loss though(small brain).

16. Yes, he did.
Apparently, it's either self control or ludicrous sums of money.

10. Oh, yes, it's possible for blood transfusions and pregnancy to be...
...turned around through SELF-CONTROL. :mad:

What is it with that thing from Missouri? Is all the self-insulation (through screened calls and personal chefs and never having to debate) causing his brain to deteriorate at a faster clip than before?

Still, no worries. The road to oblivion waits for him.

12. Not defending Rush . . . but there is some merit to his point.
Better self-control would in fact cut down on obesity and aids, would it not? I'm not saying that's right in every case, but it's dead on accurate in some instances.

13. grrr I hate to agree with that bastard as well
even if I only partially agree with him.

1- The cure for obesity is not always about self control. There are many factors that can cause extreme weight gain.

2- You can be infected by many means outside of your control, not just by having sex or sharing needles. However, having said that, a little more responsiblity and control involving the typical Americans adults sex life could help save many many lives.

I am often disturbed by how indiscrimnate some people I have met can be in choosing sexual partners and how few of them ever get tested. This is a crisis that can largely be contained by responsible behavior in the US, in other areas there are cultural issues that play a role as well.

15. He is right for once
Self control would surely curtail a good amount of the problem. You cant get aids if you dont have sex or use needle most of the time. The same thing with food. His point is common sense basically, my cat could figure that out.

14. It's also a cure for "mendacity". Now if he would take his own advice.
