My "laugh at a freeper" post

[Barad Simith]

Okay, this freeper ("pabianice") was really on a roll here, right up until he started talking about "those little spears bull fighters use."

He insists on waxing so eloquently and over-dramatically about "the death of a thousand cuts," and painting a picture of the bull "exhausted and bleeding," but right in the middle of it, like something out of an SNL parody sketch, he throws in "those little spears bull fighters use" instead of ... hmmm ... would "spears" have worked?

Perhaps it's just me, but I've seen a recent descent by Rush Limbaugh into defensiveness, petulance, high volume, and lack of fun. I started listening to Rush primarily for the entertainment value: he was the laughing guy giving Liberals the death of a thousand cuts as he threw those little spears bull fighters use into the Liberal Bull until it collapsed, exhausted and bleeding. There was parody, laughter, sharp politcial observation, laughter, and general fun.

This seems all behind us now. Rush sounds, most days, petulant, whiney, and definitely not fun. He seems to complain for three hours each day, or rage against the LIberals. Raging against anyone is a turn-off. He grew his audience by laughing at his politcial opponents.

Am I off base, or has something changed? Has the trumped-up drug charge so bruised him he has lost his sense of fun and sense of proportion? His voice is a critical component for conservatives in this election year.

3. This is new behavior?

Maybe I have him confused with another reactionary windbag named Rush Limbaugh, but since when has Rush not been "petulant, whiney, and definitely not fun"? And this too... "He seems to complain for three hours each day, or rage against the LIberals." So this is new how? I haven't listened to Rush for quite some time and was never a regular listener, but hasn't he always been exactly like this?

5. Took the words right off my keyboard, Momgonepostal

that's exactly what I was thinking. He's always been a whiny loudmouth bitchy blowhard.

4. OMG! This is TOO ironic...

His very first reply, by "cyborg":

"It's just you. He's gotten better since he came back. Now that my boss has cut my hours, I can listen to the whole show! LOL"

TRANSLATION: "I'm under-employed, due to this administration's disastrous economic policies, so now I have more time to listen to the hosts of hate radio tell me what a fabulous economy the pResident is creating."
