Rush Limbaugh: prison abuse Clinton's fault
I understand Rush Limbaugh blamed the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal on Bill Clinton today. Does anyone have a transcript? Rush's tortured logic had something to do with, I don't know, Clinton having an affair and affecting America. I didn't hear it, but I know that Rush said it around 1:10 p.m. today.

If someone has a transcript, or knows where to obtain the audio from today's show, please let me know. I'm guessing Rush's web site has the audio but I don't want to pay Rush any money to hear it.

3. Of course
Clinton invented AIDS, blew up the OKC Federal building, caused the San Francisco earthquake, stirred up the F5 Tornado in OKC and personally piloted the planes into the WTC.

You didn't know that? ;)

4. I heard it from another freeper
Here's how this other freeper explained it. Clinton showed through example that anything goes, so these kids learned they could abuse prisoners.

My answer was:

Clinton: sex in the Oval Office
W: executed more prisoners than any other governor

Which gives the impression that it's okay to abuse, torture, and kill prisoners?

Or the short version:

Clinton: made out with Monica
W: made fun of a prisoner about to be executed

5. I hope he keeps saying that because more people will get turned off...
of Rush and that stupid way of reasoning. In fact, I hope Dumbya puts that in his campaign platform so everybody can see how * takes personnel responsibility!

6. Clinton made Bush trash the Geneva Convention?
Wow.


"Victory means exit strategy, and it's important for
the President to explain to us what the exit strategy is."

7. 100 years from now...
"Clinton's fault" will be an idiom like "Murphy's law". Nobody remembers who Murphy was, and few will remember who Clinton was, but people will still be saying "It's Clinton's fault" every time they screw something up.

The phrase is already just a meaningless piece of drival dredged up by the lame-brained who refuse to take responsibility for their own stupidity.

9. I found the transcript!
At Rush's web site.

Here's just a taste of Rush's wisdom:

"So while all this is going on, the Democrats are claiming this is a chain-of-command thing, and they're trying to get this linked all the way to Bush, this is happening because of Bush's example, this is happening because Bush doesn't care, this is happening because Bush doesn't use any discipline, this is because it comes from the top. I would believe that if Bill Clinton were still in office. If Bill Clinton were still in office, I could accept the notion this might come from the top and, in fact, depending on the age of these soldiers over there they may in fact be. How many stories have we had lately, oral sex is a great way to stop teen pregnancy? That oral sex is a great way to have safe sex, just had one this week. Who popularized oral sex for the nation? And who was defended day in and day out royally for doing so? Bill Clinton. And who defended him? The Democrats who now find all kinds of atrocities in these photos coming out of Abu Ghraib prison."

I knew Rush would spell it out for us. Because, as everyone knows, before 1992, oral sex was unheard of in this country.

The rest of the transcript is at the Limbaugh web site.

11. Wow! What a rhetorician! Dr. Pangloss got nothing on him!
I won't bother refuting this idiocy 'cause clearly I'm preaching to the choir here, but does anybody remember defending Clinton's behavior within his marriage? Anyone?
I believe what we said was that a) it isn't anybody's fucking business; b) to the extent it is anybody's business it's not worthy of provoking a constitutional crisis; and c) it's clearly a manufactured effort by yoyos like Limbaugh and their puppeteers to bring down a popular Democratic president. Didn't quite work out that way, but they'll never give up, will they?

On the other hand, Rush has us wasting our time on his idiocy, so he's doing his job. Way to go, Oxycontin Man!

10. The idiot pig doesn't realize it but
this is actually good. As long as they keep promoting the sexual aspect of this it stays in the news.
