Rush is on the air

[eleny]

Here's one online station that carries him - http://www.960kzim.com/

He sounds energized. Ditto cam is on.

[MissB]

1. If he sounds energized

Can we assume he is popping pills?

[Evil_Dewers]

2. Maybe he's back on the vitamins he gave to Katie Couric.

[CO Liberal]

3. Do You Think The Oxycontin Has Kicked in Yet??

:-)

[GregW]

4. Ummm ... why should I give a f*ck about this rascist, homophobic blow-hard

[fishnfla]

5. I hear ya but...

Apparantly yesterday he was either drunk or stoned on the air, sluuring all over the place. I heard about it but missed it. I believe thats what the implication is here today, to see if he sobered up yet.

[eleny]

10. That's it

I understand their point of view, too. I rarely listen to RL. My interest, lately, is because of the revelation regarding his alleged drug addiction. I'm sure that's how it is for most of us.

[OldSoldier]

31. Call it the Trainwreck Effect

You don't want to look, but you know you will.

Everyone here is patiently waiting for the Pigboy to either "accidentally" OD on OxyContin or suffer a terminal stroke from kicking cold turkey. Or the more gentle alternative, watching his sponsors and audience vanish as they realize what a hypocrite he really is.

He was three sheets to the wind last time he was on. Can we go for five today?

[Junkdrawer]

6. "Explaining" the bizarre "Tiger is a Tiger, Liberal is a Liberal" rant...

:eyes:

[NicoleM]

7. I never listen to Rush

so I don't have anything to compare his current state to. He sounds fine now, but he did sound pretty perky at the very top of the show.

[UTUSN]

8. Doing "Tiger is a tiger" Again n/t

[Padraig18]

9. Stealing oxygen again, is he?

What a total waste of protoplasm!

[NicoleM]

11. It's official.

He's on drugs. He just said the economy is "roaring back."

[UTUSN]

12. "I Was ZAPPED Yesterday When I Left Here." n/t

[eleny]

13. Yeah, he said he didn't know there was a Dem debate last night

He probably didn't know his own name last night.

[UTUSN]

15. "Balimu, uh, MAlibu....A Bear Is a Bear"

If it weren't so early, we could have a drinking game on his verbal flubs.

[NicoleM]

14. Balimu?

No, Malibu.

[NicoleM]

16. Evil librul media!

They'll do anything to bring a politican down. We're supposed to remember what he did to Arnold when we hear their coverage of Iraq.

[eleny]

18. Time to subscribe to the Times

If they're the lib'ral organs - then it's time for me to take a subscription.

[Terwilliger]

17. OK folks...you're inflating homeboy's ego

enough already?

[NicoleM]

19. Nope.

His ego is already so big that it can't possibly get any bigger. A thread mocking him isn't going to make any difference.

[eleny]

20. Let me just say this...

I haven't listened to Rush in years. But since this drug thing, I'm finding his broadcast an education. So, for right now, I could care less if he sees my postings about his blatherings. Now I know exactly where some of my R aquaintances are getting their wacky ideas and arguments. It's like a preview.

[Junkdrawer]

29. Yep. RW talking points are "focus grouped" on Limbaugh first...

then to Faux, on to CNN and, if they past muster, on to the mainstream. It's been that way for about 10 years now. Tell you what else, if El Rushbo is reduced to "A tiger is a tiger", it may mean that someone is cutting off his talking points.

[eleny]

21. Are they affecting the DU servers again?

As soon as he mentioned DU just now, the server slowed way down.

[ronzo]

22. Great... what did he have to say today?

what was his mention of DU?

[spotbird]

24. Paraphrase:

He said “Over and over I told you not to visit DemocraticUnderground but you did it anyway! Well because of you the site crashed, and I told you not to go there! Well I’m saying it again, don’t visit DemocraticUnderground, OK well I’m glad you crashed their site. If you did go there you will see how Democrats really think and it is unbelievable and it explains this New York Times story………"

[Kamika]

26. hes foxing us

Hes doing exactly what fox did for al franken i cant understand how he cant realize that

[Occulus]

32. and, in a related story,

DU has had about 200 new user registrations in the past 36 hours.

I'm sure some are Freepers and trolls, but they can't all be...

Thanks, Rush! What a great favor!

[Room101]

23. Why do you post this?

WTF RUSH?

[Zero Gravitas]

25. He's really high on drugs

Totaly delusional. At least he's not sluring his words as badly today.

[tishaLA]

30. But what about his wierd laughing attacks?

I'm glad to see pigboy is part of the vanguard of social criticism with his diatribe against metrosexuals (whatever rushbo)...

what the HELL were those uncomfortable giggle fits he was having? He's completely lost it.

[BeachBuckeye]

41. Yesterday one of the freepers

posted a message about how badly Rush was slurring his words, rambling and repeating himself. The thread got about 5 answers and was pulled within 5 minutes. They are paranoid about losing their guru.

[Junkdrawer]

48. Here's the DU thread from yesterday...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=504066

[rocktivity]

27. Maybe the problem is jet lag

Florida to New York is quite a haul by air, dontcha know.

[Junkdrawer]

28. RUSH LIMBAUGH TO ADDRESS RECENT MEDIA REPORTS... DEVELOPING....

http://www.drudgereport.com

[Elidor]

33. If Anal-cyst Boy has been slurring and giggling

I'd say the odds are damn good that he's on tranqs to help his withdrawal symptoms. Dayyam, I might have to tune in to the old blowhard, just for the sheer entertainment factor of a dizzy neocon on drugs.

[eleny]

34. And now he announced that he's going to the bathroom...

because "a tiger is a tiger"?

[UTUSN]

35. He's Now Alienated Truck Drivers & People with Tattoos

He said something like, "Good to have you, good buddy," then that he's been told this is insulting sexually to truck drivers but he likes to say it anyway. Then went off on a jag about tattoos, that he finds them repulsive---------like he has anything to say about repulsiveness.

We're not pumping him up with these threads. He's good as gone and these threads are just a reminder to him and his dittoheads. There's a DRUDGE "delveloping" thingy about LUSH going to "address" the drug thing. Hahah, what's he gonna say, that he's signed a deal for advertising the Amoco gas station where his drug deals went down----ahahahahaha!

[Elidor]

36. A good buddy, in trucker parlance

Is someone who goes out and gets two blowjobs, and brings one back for you.

Tried to listen to the show, but he was blathering about how the rich pay too much taxes and we're going to break the golden goose - :puke:

Had to turn it off almost immediately.

[shanti]

37. who cares?

n/t

[UTUSN]

38. "Part of what you heard is correct----I *AM* Addicted

to prescription drugs. Started 5 or 6 yrs ago when my doctor prescribed them for back pain. Twice checked myself in to (rehab). But I've recently agreed with my doctor. Immediately following this program I will check myself in for 30 days to break this for all time.

[tishaLA]

39. OMG he's talking about his Oxy!

he is going to a treatment center for 30 days.

[UTUSN]

40. "I'm not a role model, not a victim...

take full responsibility for this problem. At the present time the authorities are conducting an investigation. I have been asked to withhold my public commentary until the investigation is complete. """""

[UTUSN]

45. "It's NEVER Going to be All Over with....

I'm going to ask for your prayers."

Well, guess what, folks, he's going to be dropping in on DU a lot more in the next 30 days. (Please, no flame-interpretations.)

[Skittles]

43. again?

will the third time be a charm?

[tishaLA]

42. Rush insists he is not a hero for going into rehab

nor is he a victim.

He is being investigated and he "has been asked" to remain silent about the investigation.

He appreciates Freeper support. More than he will ever be able to express to them. He wants Freeper prayers.

on edit: typos. endlessly.

[Cat Atomic]

44. What a joke he is.

Have fun in rehab, Pillbaugh.

[mandyky]

46. MSNBC reporting he has admitted being addicted to

pain killers and plans on checking into rehab!! Wow! We must be getting to him. Too bad recovery and the 12 steps requires humilty and admission of powerlessness....

[judgegina]

47. Rehab is for quitters.

sorry

[oasis]

49. The dittoheads will mourn the loss of their guru,Pill Popping Pigboy
