Rush

For those of you who don't read Deadspin or Media Matters (and you should, my brother works there and he needs the money), [url=http://mediamatters.org/items/200702070012]Rush is on the warpath again[/url] and this time, it's personal.

Aww, and here I was all set to lay into a kicking rendition of "Tom Sawyer."

I've long been desirous of Rush Limbaugh in a deadpool of vicodin induced vomit. Can I get a prediction on that one?

Seriously, read the title of that Media Matters post. Sounds like a joke, right? Rush, playing on his past statements, having a little fun on his show after the Super Bowl. Then you click on the audio link and listen to him and...oh dear God he's not joking. I think I have some understanding of what it must have felt like for that little Japanese boy* who took the picture of JAL Flight 123 with no tail stabilizer, witnessing a disaster in the making but being completely unable to do anything about it.
* this may not be an accurate representation of the person who took the photo but I think it makes it sound even more tragic.

Want to make Rush joke....must fight temptation.....must not let this thread get side-tracked by pretentious Canadian prog rock.....Seriously, read the title of that Media Matters post.

I also listened through the audio clip because I had absolutely no idea what Rush was talking about in that last byte... Can anyone help me out here? I'm beginning to think the bars were starting to kick in at this point.

LIMBAUGH: It's, yeah, they're just all over this guy. They can't wait for this guy to fail. They are hoping he fails.
CALLER: Yes, they're terrible. (the ladys says, "That's terrible" very clearly on the audio, it just reads better (more screwed up) the way the website posted the transcript.
IMHO-Rush is not political commentary, he is a talk show host, it's entertainment. I take nothing he says as anything else. Strange that so many people do not laugh when he speaks.
