Don’t Let The Door Hit You On The Way Out
Rush Limbaugh, the satirical twit of right-wing hate, is threatening — strike that — promising to leave the United States if health care reform is passed and fully implemented in the next five years.
CALLER: If the health care bill passes, where would you go for health care yourself? And the second part of that is, what [...]
Dispatches From the GOP Braintrust
Michael Zak, a blogger at Big Government (one of Andrew Breitbart’s sites) compares ACORN to the KKK:
ACORN does indeed operate like the Mafia, but it more closely resembles another organization that began as an affiliate of the Democratic Party, the Ku Klux Klan. Aside from intimidating some bank executives, ACORN does not engage in [...]
Palin Bows Before Rush
Sometimes, every once in a while, Sarah Palin will do something that I agree with. Usually it has to do with defending her family. I thought she was right to defend her daughter after Letterman’s failed joke. I also thought she was right to criticize Rahm Emmanuel for calling liberal “retarded.” [...]

How Low Can He Go?
Rush Limbaugh, commenting on Obama’s plan for regulating banks:
On Wednesday, Rush Limbaugh accused Barack Obama of waging an anti-Semitic campaign against Jewish people. Limbaugh’s logic?
There are a lot of people, when you say banker, people think Jewish. … People who have a little prejudice about them. … To some people, banker is a code word [...]
Limbaugh Doubles Down On Teh Stupid
Oh Rush Limbaugh, you never fail to disappoint (and I do mean disappoint). Limbaugh is still pushing some conspiracy theory that President Obama is going to steal money intended for victims of Haiti. A caller from my hometown challenges him and he manages to keep up the stupid, with a nice dose of [...]

The Haiti Disaster Brings Out Teh Stupid
We’ve already heard about the disgusting statements of Pat Robertson about the Haiti earthquake disaster. Rush Limbaugh also couldn’t help making an ass of himself about the Haiti crisis.
On his radio show yesterday Limbaugh said the earthquake in Haiti will play right into Obama’s hands by allowing him to play up his “compassionate” and [...]
Rush Limbaugh Praises Health Care Reform, Unionized Hospitals
Over the Christmas holiday, Rush Limbaugh was rushed to the hospital in Hawai’i because of chest pains. He praised the treatment he got there:
“Based on what happened to me here, I don’t think there is one thing wrong with the American health care system. It is working just fine, just dandy.”
The SEIU points out [...]
Cantor’s Inappropriate Response To Dachau Photo
He says the photos are inappropriate.
Inappropriate? Like wearing white after Labor Day? What an insipid little word to describe that disgusting display. And since he belongs to the party of “death panels” and “HCR will kill grandma” I know he has it in him to do better than inappropriate. I also know why he didn’t.
Fear. [...]
Rush Knows Something About Bestiality
I don’t know how many times we’ve declared that Rush has sunk to new all-time low, but let me do it again. Rush Limbaugh on Dede Scozzafava, ex-Republican candidate for the 23rd Congressional District in New York:
Scozzafava has screwed every RINO in the coun — we can say that she’s guilty of widespread bestiality. She [...]
Rush Limbaugh Is A Victim!
Rush Limbaugh knows why he was denied a chance to own the St. Louis Rams – it’s all Obama’s fault:
“So Obama’s America is quite possibly going to include the National Football League, and pressure from Obama, the Congressional Black Caucus and other places might be brought to bear on the owners,” Limbaugh complained.
And it wasn’t [...]
Limbaugh Won’t Get His NFL Team
Several groups have now spoken out in opposition to the bid by Rush Limbaugh to buy the St. Louis Rams. First, there’s the player’s union:
NFL Players executive director DeMaurice Smith on Saturday made a move to solidify the union against a bid by conservative talk show radio host Rush Limbaugh as part of a [...]
Limbaugh to Resegregate NFL?
It’s possible, but not how you’d expect. From an excellent article in the NY Daily News:
Mathias Kiwanuka loves his former defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, but the Giants‘ defensive end says he will never play for Spagnuolo’s Rams if Rush Limbaugh purchases the team (Limbaugh is part of an ownership group seeking to purchase the St. Louis Rams).
“All I know is [...]
A Conservative Becklash?
Is there a backlash brewing against Glenn Beck by other conservatives? Steve Benen documents the details:
On Tuesday, MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough blasted Beck, and argued that the Fox News personality may be fomenting violence. “You cannot preach hatred,” Scarborough said. “You cannot say the president is racist. You cannot say things that have very deadly [...]
Surprise, Surprise: Limbaugh Is A Hypocrite
The news Wednesday was that Rush Limbaugh said he might support Sotomayor after all. Here’s what he said:
We know she’s Catholic. We also know she has no record on abortion. Sonia Sotomayor being Catholic and having not said a word about abortion, I find that interesting. All libs who want [...]

This Space Intentionally Left Blank
Republicans, fight among yourselves.
First, we have Newt Gingrich tweeting from Auschwitz that Sotomayor is a racist. And former Congressman Tom Tancredo doubles down by calling La Raza equivalent to the KKK.
Senator John Cornyn is obviously worried about the perception that the war on Sotomayor will take down the entire Republican party, saying this:
“I think [...]
Reagan Gives Rush A Taste Of His Own Medicine
Via Slog:
Rush Limbaugh—drug addict, Viagra user—isn’t in a position to mock other people’s appearances. But that didn’t stop him from suggesting that posting a photo of Nancy Pelosi in “every cheap hotel room in America” would cut the birth rate—because, hey, no man could get it up with Pelosi’s ugly mug in the room, right? [...]
Rush Takes The “Obama Is Deliberately Destroying The Economy” Talking Point To New Lows
Not that he’ll be called out for this by Republicans (Sheesh, except for Smitty):
“The [economic] deterioration reflects lower tax revenues and higher costs for bank failures, unemployment benefits and food stamps. But in the Oval Office of the White House none of this is a problem. This is the objective. The objective is unemployment. The [...]
Oh Please, Let Rush Get His Wish!
If Colin Powell leaves the Republican Party drinks are on me!
“What Colin Powell needs to do is close the loop and become a Democrat instead of claiming to be a Republican interested in reforming the Republican Party,” Limbaugh said on his radio show Wednesday.
Limbaugh also took aim at Powell’s decision to endorse President Obama over [...]
Republicans Have Bigger Problems Than Lowering Pelosi’s Poll Numbers
They have Rush’s poll numbers.
According to the Democratic polling firm, voters view the conservative talk show host “negatively by a two-to-one ratio (53 to 26 percent), with nearly half the country, 45 percent, viewing him very, very negatively. Among independents, the ratio rises to three-to-one.”
45% view him very, very negatively. I’m shocked, I tell you. [...]
Dems Have Nothing To Lose In The Limbaugh War
Dems have nothing to lose in the Limbaugh War because this fight isn’t about us. It’s about Republicans. Seriously, we have nothing to lose. If Rush wins (and he’s clearly winning so far) then he becomes the leader of the Republican Party. However, if the GOP succeeds in putting Rush in his place then they [...]

I’m Sorry, Who Are Republicans Blaming For Keeping This Circus Alive?
I really would like to stop writing about this, (Okay, I’m lying!) but how can I when Rush won’t shut up! Now he’s challenging President Obama to a debate!
But I have an idea. If these guys are so impressed with themselves, and if they are so sure of their correctness, why doesn’t President Obama come [...]
