Limbaugh on Broadway for Katrina victims

[deadparrot]

NEW YORK, Sept. 6 (UPI) -- Tickets went on sale Tuesday for conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh's one-man Broadway benefit show for victims of Hurricane Katrina.

"Rush on Broadway" will consist of a single Oct. 18 performance at the New Amsterdam Theatre, home of Disney's "Lion King," which will take the night off, the New York Post reported Tuesday.

The event is being sponsored by New York's WABC-AM, which is also owned by Disney.

Tickets are $77 apiece, the Post said.

They should picket outside

[hughee99]

26. Because nothing will make for better PR

than picketing a hurricane benefit! Sorry, but if this clown is going to raise money by charging the same ass hats who listen to his show anyway, what's the problem here?

2. OMG thanks for the info - i'll rush right down and get my tickets

23. Thenardier

perfect role for a rat like him.

" Here's a hint of gold
Stuck into a tooth
Pardon me M'sieur
You won't be needing this no more.
Shouldn't be too hard to sell.
Add it to the pile
Add it to the stock
Here among the sewer rats
A breath away from hell
You get accustomed to the smell.

Well someone's got to clean 'em up, my friends
Bodies on the highway
Law and order upside down
Someone's got to collect their odds and ends
As a service to the town!

By Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schonberg
Lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer
Based on the book by Victor Hugo

[mark11727]

13. I'm waiting for him to sing "Hakuna Matata" (no worries)

[saigon68]

30. He's Going to pop Oxycotins to the tune of

"My Old Kentucky Home" By Stephen C. Foster

Stephen C. Foster (1826-1864)
My Old Kentucky Home, Good Night!

1 The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home,
2'Tis summer, the darkies are gay,
3The corn top's ripe and the meadow's in the bloom
4While the birds make music all the day.
5The young folks roll on the little cabin floor,
6All merry, all happy and bright:
7By'n by Hard Times comes a knocking at the door,
8Then my old Kentucky Home, good night!

[Bullshot]

34. Maybe he'll show the anal cyst that got him out of serving 'Nam.

What am I saying? Rush IS an anal cyst. And we've seen it too many times!

[YOY]

5. Tickets are 77$ Apiece

Which you might as well just fricking donate directly to the Red Cross you ditto-head bastard.

Or do you need to see a multi millionaire who is paid butt-loads to blame everything on 'liberals'.

Isn't Rush the idiot who started the 'the adults are back in charge' bit?

The mass migration of asshats from Long Island to see his show will be astounding.

[FourStarDemocrat]

69. Hey, don't put down Long Islanders.

We have some "hate all taxes"-idiotic republicans here but most Long Islanders hate Rushbot and Bu$hco just as much as the rest of NY'ers.

What a laugh-- or better yet a tragedy to see Limbaugh exploiting the dead and dying just to get his fat ass on Broadway.

[Canuckistanian]

9. A song and dance act

To distract everyone from the truth about Bu$h fuckups.

16. I was going to say the contents of a produce stand.

I'm sure there's some terrific greengrocer who will be only too happy to sell rotten stock to me for the best use possible...

[louis-t]

17. What will his "performance" consist of?

Blaming liberals for the hurricane? For the lack of response? Will he praise FEMA? Praise * as a "great leader"? "Stay the course" against that mean ole' hurricane? Tell 'em people deserved what they got for not leaving? Blame the Dems in LA government and praise the Repugs? Every penny of the money he raises better go to the victims. EVERY penny.

[DFWJock]

21. WTF???

Is he on drugs??
Oh, never mind.

[Neshanic]

31. "The amazing Mr. Flatulence and his talking anal cyst"

[sakabatou]

20. Where do the procedes go?

[wallwriter]

22. This sounds like an Onion headline...

[Lindacooks]

24. That's what I thought too. Sounds like the beginning of a dirty joke.

[warrens]

25. How much per egg?

At a buck a throw, he could raise some SERIOUS cash.

[0007]

27. I'll pay 77$ to boo & egg Rush Limbaugh.

[geniph]

29. Is he wearing fishnet stockings and a sequined bustier?

The Onion is going to go out of business, the MSM keeps writing their articles for them.

Wonder how much of the money will actually go to those made homeless by the hurricane and how much to those whose opulent Garden District mansions are still standing? I mean, what's he gonna do, help fund the rebuilding of Trent Lott's vacation house?

[Initech]

32. I would go if Rush were fucked up on Oxycontin!

Really, that would make it IMMENSELY entertaining!

I'd also be sure to bring about three dozen eggs and some beer bottles while I was at it!

[DBoon]

55. Maybe he'll barf and pass out

nt

[CoffeeCat]

33. What a publicity stunt...

Rush could have donated several million without a blink.

He chose to show up on Broadway and do a "one-man benefit". Oh please. He's interjecting himself into a very, high-profile situation to position the conservatives as the compassionate, selfless ones who care about the hurricane victims. This also works to quiet the truth about most of them being racists.

This is all Rovian bull puckey.

The Bush Administration is desperately trying to shift attention away from their criminal negligence and onto the plight of the victims. Their inaction led to much of the death and harm we're seeing, but now they're going to use these victims to deflect attention from their recklessness.

Oh please. I'm so tired of the neocons using human beings as PR ploys.

I GUARANTEE YOU THIS...that sometime in the near future--when good Dems are discussing the negligence of this administration and the grave errors they made with regarding to Katrina, Rush will say this, "All these libs can do is COMPLAIN and look backward! They don't care about these victims! They don't care about their welfare! They only care about making Bush look bad! I did something! I raised money for these people. And I'm not tooting my own horn, people. Don't get me wrong. I'm just saying that while Republicans are doing something, the Dems are looking to ruin Bush. That's all these people are about, folks!"

Rush will USE his "good works" to illustrate how lovely he and the warmongering neocons are.

What a little pisher.

I wonder how long it took Rove to make that phone call to Rush--alerting him of the role he would play in the marketing theatrics?

36. Rush: Please Exit Stage Right

51. An onstage trapdoor would make for a better exit

[Yavin4]

37. Rush Is Going To Be Giving A Lecture

"How to Score OxyContin"!!!

[alphadog]

38. Good work, folks

Trash a hurricane benefit that's going to raise a couple of hundred thousand dollars. Nice work. Good to see we're living up to the criticisms of the other side.

And nice comment about the folks from Long Island, YOY. Both counties on LI are majority Democrat, run by Democratic County Execs. Both counties went for Democrats in the last presidential election. Both counties were instrumental in electing Hillary Clinton to the Senate. Gee, yeah, I hate those Long Islanders.

[Dr Fate]

43. So you go to it then- have fun.

n/t

[pursuivant]

44. What? Calling bullshit?

Rush on Broadway might raise a "few hundred thousand" - but that's chump change for a guy like Rush.

If he's serious, why doesn't he just donate a few million of his own funds, and/or spend the next couple of days running his show as a telethon to get all his dittoheads to pony up money. That would raise some serious green. Or, he could just do like Al Gore - drop serious money doing something useful while avoiding the spotlight.

[Dr Fate]

53. Rush spends his money on needle drugs & criminal defense...

...so you see, he has to have a fundraiser to do anything.

[nookiemonster]

65. Rush...Rush...Is that you, buddy?

eom

[pursuivant]

39. Will Condi be there?

She can wear the shoes she wore to Spamalot while people were drowning in NOLA.

My choice for a song for Rush to sing: "So You Are the Christ" from J.C. Superstar - he'd make a great Pontius Pilate.

[triguy46]

40. With his so popular "humor"...

He is the kind of guy that really inspires giving. I mean, this guy really lives it, always reaching out to help those in need, it brings a tear to my eye to think that he has to sober up enough to be propped up on stage to march out his diatribes of hate, venom and vomit. It makes you want to give...he is such a paragon of Christlike behavior, living it out on stage for all to see...Shit, I give up, words escape the inanity of such an idea.

[Wabbajack]

41. meh

at least he's helping. That's more than most pukes are doing.

[tanyev]

67. You are assuming the monies received will actually be a larger

number than the cost of producing the show.

[AZBlue]

42. Is this a joke?

[Enraged_Ape]

45. "What do you call this...act, Rush?" "The Aristocrat!"

n/t

[darkism]

46. Looks like a job for al PIEda.

You know, the guys who got Ann Coulter?

hehe...

[mitchum]

47. You should hear his "Tomorrow Belongs to Me"...

FABULOUS!

[Fovea]

49. a little song, a little dance some oxycontin in your pants.

n/t

[benny05]

50. This is one of 3 things:

1) Late or early April fools joke
2) Happy Halloween (a rotten treat by a horrible trickster0
3) A John McEnroe moment-- YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS

:nuke: :evilfrown: :puke: :wtf: :grr: :thumbsdown: :banghead:

[delete_bush]

52. I'm sure I've missed something,

but why $77? Most repukes find a way to end everything in 76. :shrug:

[clown]

64. 770 AM

Rush is broadcast on 770 AM in NY, I assume that's the reason for the ticket price.

[footinmouth]

56. Let Them Eat Cake

set to music. A nice little soft shoe by Rush.

[TheCowsCameHome]

57. Will his friggin' head fit thru the door?

[Fight_n_back]

58. The thought of him singing and dancing

is really funny actually.

He should open with a big production number from something like "Stomp" then a short comic monologue then a slower song like "Summertime" from Porgy and Bess.

I might also suggest "If I Were a Rich Man", thats a real crowd pleaser.


Given his checkered personal life something from "Rent" might also be appropriate.

[Julius Civitatus]

59. Will he sing his anthem: "I'm a Nazi" ????

Will he? You can hear his "I am a Nazi" anthem here (mp3 file):

[Missy Vixen]

60. I'm wondering if tickets will be available anywhere

I'm serious.

Why do I think that Rush and his buddies have already bought out the house, and the tickets will be distributed to upper echelon Pugs only? He's certainly not going to take the stage on Broadway in front of anything but a carefully screened audience. It would turn into a free-for-all.

There will be an approved guest list, photo ID will be checked for everyone but the very recognizable (Newt Gingrich and Rudolph Giuliani spring to mind,) and the press will be encouraged to STAY AWAY. Or, Option #2: Rush will become "indisposed" or "seriously ill" 24 hours prior to the show.

61. He may have to buy them all up himself to keep them out of Dem hands.

He should know Democrats would adore hearing him.

[kestrel91316]

62. Here's what needs to be done: everybody BUY TICKETS, then

DON'T SHOW UP!! He can talk to an empty auditorium.

Better yet: buy tickets, show up, then when Rush walks onto the stage, everybody boo and hiss and then walk out.

[pokercat999]

63. No one hates limpballs more than me. I'd

pay to watch that lying bastard choke on his own bile. BUT if he raises money for the victims of Katrina well then I hope he raises millions if he chokes while raising those millions all the better.

[Nostradamus]

66. Springtime for Hitler

Amazing how the satire of past decades is becoming the news stories of this decade.
