On Air America: Ed Schultz and David Schuster don't know why Rush got a deferment from Vietnam?!
Oh, come on. We all know more than we want to about his anal cysts. How can they not know? They were speculating whether it was his neck or his back...:eyes:

1. What he had is a disease brought about by
obesity and unclean hygiene. So the fat ass didn't wipe himself clean, or didn't take enough showers.

24. I think they sometimes call it an "old football injury" or "sports injury"

when it's caused by lots of ass patting.

14. I once had a pilonidal cyst and it felt like someone was sticking a knife up my ass.
Edited on Fri Oct-05-07 12:53 PM by IntravenousDemilo
The pain was unbearable and there was no way I could get comfortable or think about anything else. Mine was caused by an ingrown bum hair.

However, I had a very simple operation that took all of five minutes at the -- get this -- Upper Canada Lower Bowel Clinic, under local anaesthesia. There's no way Fatty should have got a deferment for that. He's probably just a fucking coward, because I'm sure he supported the war as long as other people were being maimed and killed.




Edit: Yeah, stupid me, pilonidal, not pilonidic... it was a long time ago...

18. Yikes! I'm sorry for your pain! That sounds terrible!
And Randi Rhodes agrees with you. She said that hers was removed using a local in an outpatient visit. However, someone with the girth of Rush must have faced additional risks. And would the military even want him? I wouldn't feel very safe if it was Rush who was watching my back...:scared:

19. I'd want Rush in my foxhole, because he's a bigger target than I am.
And he'd make an excellent windbreak. It'd be like stepping around to the other side of a building.

21. LOL. Excellent point! He'd make a better shield than a tree or a hill
and would probably move about as fast...:rofl:

34. Lots of people with pilonidal cysts got drafted.
Like you say, five minute operation.

Rush had a private doctor intercede for him and went to his induction physical bawling his eyes out.

15. I've heard that a pilonidal cyst is caused by an ingrown hair.
Which may be caused by sitting a lot. According to my family, my uncle had one when he drove a tank during WWII. But during the war, showers and toilet paper were in short supply in combat. So what is Rush's excuse?:shrug:

8. I checked, and Air America says Ed Hartmann is on.
But I'm currently listening to Big Ed (12-3pm), who is on here everyday, and had David Schuster from MSNBC as a guest...:shrug:

BTW, he's going to be on Tucker, tonight. Should be good, since he has really been speaking out on "Hardball" twice this week, that I've seen...:-)

3. Was the Army counting on Rash Limpballs to do a lot of sitting over in Vietnam?
I'm guessing those boys didn't come home with hemorrhoids.

4. You know, I really don't care. It's trivial and at least Shuster's got
his eye on the big stuff.

BTW, Schultz isn't on Air America--he's on Jones.

9. Well, we already know that. Randi had the same thing, a pilonidal cyst, and they took her...
Rush had almost as many excuses as Bush* and Cheney, but not the connections to join the Texas Air National Guard, like even they would have wanted him...x(

11. They know.. they are just playing the age-old "press game"
that's the game where they "pretend" not to know things, so they don't have to investigate stuff and back things up with facts.. and they can pretend to be "fair & balanced".:puke:

It's worse than being uninformed and ignorant.. It's WILLFUL ignorance

13. His father was a doctor
Edited on Fri Oct-05-07 12:18 PM by JPZenger
Rush said he father was a medical doctor. He may have known ways to write up his son's condition to exaggerate the problem.

In any case, would you have wanted to share a foxhole with Rush and his anal cyst?

25. I was more shocked to hear that The Veep's office tried to muscle Tweety again!
We bitch about Tweety a lot, but you have to give him credit - he doesn't knuckle under to the NeoGoons.:thumbsup:

26. Well, Ed has been on "Hardball" at least twice, recently, and doesn't mince words.
Tweety must have agreed with him. BTW, tonight Ed is going to be on with Tucker. I might even watch...:-)

29. Big Ed
Should have watched his friend Stephanie Miller on Hannity and Colmes the other night when she shouted out that Rush was deferred due to a gigantic anal cyst. Everything else she tried to say pretty much got shouted over but she got that in before they brought the music up over her. :rofl:

But it never would dawn on me to turn on Fixed News, had enough of that with my mother, but it means that I occasionally miss some good stuff... :rofl:

35. Elizabeth EDWARDS said it & LIMBOsevic played the tape of her saying it - hilarious!!1
She went over his draft dodging, uh, deferment, saying it was because of an inoperable condition, that if he couldn't serve because of that he shouldn't be able to sit in front a microphone for hours on end!!1 HAHA!!1

So after the tape, LIMBOsevic said, "Nothing is inoperable, Mrs EDWARDS." Funny how he didn't find her comments funny at the same time that he ceaselessly calls EDWARDS "the Breck girl."
