Ah, I see the wingers are in full tizzy mode (actually their default mode) because El Rushbo has been dropped from the group looking to purchse the St. Louis Rams.
It’s all so unfair! And Limbaugh, of course, protests that he’s not racist, he’s never been racist…
It’s just that he has a looooooong history of saying […]

Rush and the Rams
October 7th, 2009 · No Comments
Casey the producer had sent me this bit yesterday, Deadspin’s take on the news that our old pal Rush Limbaugh is aiming to become part-owner of the St. Louis Rams. Best line:
I guess the team won’t be drafting any black quarterbacks from now on.
But St. Louis Post-Dispatch columnist Bryan Burwell takes a far more serious […]

The siren song of Rush
October 2nd, 2009 · No Comments
I know: Ew.
But David Brooks makes some excellent points in how Democrats -but also and more importantly, Republicans - kowtow to Rush and Beck and O’Reilly:
They pay more attention to Rush’s imaginary millions than to the real voters down the street. The Republican Party is unpopular because it’s more interested in pleasing Rush’s ghosts than actual people. The party […]

The video of the kid getting beaten on that St. Louis school bus is just horrible. If my child had been attacked that way, the administrative staff at his school would wish they had never been born.
Where was the bus driver? Why didn’t he try to put a stop to it? You can’t watch it […]
Wanda on Rush

Hilarious. Wanda Sykes says the kind of things about Rush Limbaugh that Limbaugh has said on his program about liberals for 20 years.
And conservatives are -
- wait for it -
OUTRAGED!!!
I’m so old I remember when it was liberals whining for the opposition to stop being so mean to them.

Rush hits back at Colin Powell, tells him to leave the GOP and become a Democrat.
I’d be very pleased with that, Rush. Nice “majority” you got going there, bud.

Republicans launch a series of events in which they say they’re going to “listen” to Americans.
Rush rips the idea.
Cantor: It was never a listening tour!
I don’t think these people realize how spineless and weak all this kowtowing to Rush makes them look. A good bit of the GOP’s appeal during its heyday was its manly […]

Missed this yesterday - El Rushbo wants Specter to take McCain and his daughter with him.
I am wholly in favor of the idea. As Joe Sudbay over at Americablog notes:
Rush is weeding out anyone who is remotely moderate. He is shrinking the GOP.
Keep it up, Rush.
I don’t think you understand. A GOP whittled away to its dense, […]

If Rush Limbaugh wants to convince the nation that waterboarding isn’t torture, Rush Limbaugh should allow himself to be waterboarded - live, on national television, for the world to see.
Pay-per-view, for his favorite charity. Conservatives would watch to see themselves vindicated. Liberals would watch just to see Rush waterboarded.

The real reason for Rush
March 12th, 2009 · No Comments
Funny. Conservative writer Ramesh Ponnru opines in Time Magazine that Rush is good for the GOP:
It is not a smart battle for the reformers to fight. Most of their differences of opinion with Limbaugh do not really rise to the level of principle. (Whether global warming is happening and what risks it poses are empirical […]

Funny. On the heels of Boehner’s “can we talk about something else please,” we’re seeing a repetition of that same theme elsewhere.
In the news biz you often get ahold of people who say, “I don’t think this is a story.” Those often turn out to be the best stories; peoplee say that, obviously, in an attempt […]

The diversion is also the focus
March 5th, 2009 · No Comments
Funny. John Boehner has a piece in today’s WaPo calling the whole Limbaugh thing “diversionary tactics”:
And in a carefully calculated campaign, operatives and allies of the Obama administration are seeking to divert attention toward radio host Rush Limbaugh, and away from a debate about our alternative solutions on the economy and the irresponsible spending binge […]

Remember David Vitter?
Earlier this year, Sen. David Vitter (R-LA), who was named in the DC Madam prostitution scandal, co-sponsored the Marriage Protection Amendment, which would amend the Constitution to declare that marriage “shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman.” Now, “as he seeks to shore up his bona fides with […]

Hilarious. Via Josh Marshall - a create-your-own-apology-to-Rush!
Update: And here’s Scarborough on today’s “Morning Joe”:
Michael Steele was the target of many a joke on MSNBC’s Morning Joe after he apparently declined to appear on the show.
After asking where the RNC chairman was and what time he was scheduled to appear on the show this morning, host […]

Hm:
Top Democrats believe they have struck political gold by depicting Rush Limbaugh as the new face of the Republican Party, a full-scale effort first hatched by some of the most familiar names in politics and now being guided in part from inside the White House.
The strategy took shape after Democrats included Limbaugh’s name in an […]
