[billybob537]

:thumbsdown:

[olegramps]

28. Well, I have to admit he is sickening.

[lenegal]

39. Well, hasn't he gained back all the weight he lost and more?

Karma is a bitch.

[omega minimo]

43. his color is off -- or was he always Lily White. Anyhow, he's fading out...........

[EmilyAnne]

10. WTF with his rant against atheists? Where does this fit in to defending Jindal? n/t

[AndyA]

11. I couldn't even watch the whole video.

I can't help but think of the extreme amount of hypocrisy when Rush talks about Americans being lied to. Because that's exactly what his conservatives have done to the world for the last 8 years. Or, go back to Reagan's era even, if you prefer. One lie after another. A secret agenda rolled out to harm the people, while said people were being told it was what's best for them.

I keep thinking Rush is going to just explode someday. All that fat, anger, and hatred toward others can't be good for the soul, nor for the heart. If Rush even has one any longer. He must, as something has to pump blood through that enormous body of his. I understand his anger, though. But he's directing that anger at the wrong people. It isn't the "liberals" who are responsible, it's his beloved conservatives. But that's one truth that Rush will take to his grave, he will never admit that what he's been preaching all these years is nothing more than lies.

To call Rush a hypocrite is an understatement. I feel sorry for him. He's pathetic, and he knows it. He must hate himself most of all.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

16. wish I could recommend your post!

I think you are onto something there.

[jimshoes]

21. I had to turn it off after about 2 minutes

I don't know how someone like that sleeps at night. Such ugliness.

[lob1]

12. It would be very funny if someone put a laugh track to this spew.

Back in the 60's, someone put a laugh track to a Nixon speech, and it was hysterical. A laugh track would really work well with this one, too.

[florida08]

13. this guy

is certifiable. Like watching whooping crane

[Montauk6]

14. Lie after lie after lie...?

Was one of them the one that the Republicans in that chamber love this country?

[EmilyAnne]

15. I think I am going to change my name to "mean spirited, heartless, horrible winner."

[NOW tense]

17. I hope that I never

get out of breath when I talk. Time to hit the gym Rush.

[Politicalboi]

18. Whatever happened to Scott McCullen?

LOL! Now I can't listen to Rush anymore because those who don't like Jindal's speech don't like Rush.:cry: What would Rush be saying about Jindal if he were a Democrat? Appo comes to mind. "Thank You Come Again" He's a Muslim, where's his birth certificate?

[hwmnbn]

20. Man, he's losing it!!....

He's gonna go postal soon and it won't be pretty. I want to be around when his meltdown gets posted on youtube.

[whosinpower]

22. The more he blasts

The more irrelevant he becomes. Very very soon, the realization will occur that Limbaugh's rants and GOP idolization will become a serious hindrance to the GOP party.

Irrelevant - soon to become obsolete.

[mrbarber]

23. Seeing him flail around like that.....

makes me think he's about to drop someone into his rancor pit.

[county worker]

24. Rush is like all the other repukes. They are scared shit-less that a populace

progressive movement will take over the country. That makes them irrelevant.

[uberllama42]

25. Why does Limbaugh hate Pat Tillman so much?

He must hate Tillman if he's repeating to old "no atheists in foxholes" lie.

[safeinOhio]

26. Are those jowls starting to hang all the way down to his man boobs?

[Hulk]

27. This big fat toad is in "self destruct mode"....and good riddance.

This pig is the voice of "what's left" of the repug party. Oh my God......it's almost sad to watch, except I get such JOY from looking at this fat ass hole figit and shake in terror as he pusses out his venom to his low IQ audience of sheeple.

Go rush......straight to hell, fat boy!

[tomm2thumbs]

29. Rumplestiltskin spun straw into gold....

Rush tries to spin Republican garbage into cotton candy. Good luck with that.

He is obviously working towards being one of the first beneficiaries of the Obama rebuilt healthcare system - it is very scary how unhealthy this man looks - I wish him good health as no one should suffer health issues he is working himself towards.

[LaPera]

30. He now wears XXX-Large Polo shirts, when he out grows those, then what?

A giant Poncho, A tent?

[Deep13]

33. A parachute.

The old dome-shaped kind. It already has a hole in the top.

[Deep13]

31. Coming from the one guy who does not want America to succeed.

I instantly thought of that when the President said something like we all want America to succeed. "Not Limbaugh! He said so!"

[liberation]

32. I need subtitles...

Since I don't speak pig, I have no idea what Rush is saying. All I hear is "Oink, oink, ooiiiiiinkkkkk, oink" Sounds important, but again... I am not fluent in pig, so I have no clue what is going on.

[Deep13]

34. No, it's so-o-o not important. nt

[mikelgb]

35. ...

[Best_man23]

36. Thanks for posting this

I've been constipated all day and this helped break things loose.

Rush, what about the Fox News talking heads who said that Jindal's response was poor? What about the folks over at FR who lamented Jindal's performance?

Take another Oxycotin Rush and stop chasing Latin boys.

[adegeus]

37. The man is seriously losing it

All this week Rush has been maudlin and messageless, just ranting for 3 hours about how his dwindling audience are the only true conservatives left yadda yadda. Yes, he mentioned his dwindling audience.

[Jack Rabbit]

38. Well, I suppose somebody had to defend Jindal

Rush is even isolated from Freeperville right now. I guess somebody had to do it.

First of all, does Rush know of another fellow named Barack Obama who said something last night? The liar and idiot that Rush was describing was definitely not the President of the United States who goes by that name.

Now, frankly, I don't have any more use for "style" than Rush has. We got style from Ronald Reagan, who first conjured up the voodoo economics that destroyed the American middle class. So, I agree with Rush as far as that goes; it doesn't count for much. Nevertheless, I thought Governor Jindal's response was pathetic. It is pathetic to keep insisting that voodoo economics will get us out the very mess that, after nearly 30 years, it got us into and got us into predictably. That is what Governor Jindal was proposing. Before I listened to Rachel Maddow's "speechless" assessmewnt of Governor Jindal's response, I was wondering how he could possibly put a good face on the government response to Hurricane Katrina. That was a good example of government failure, but it is a failure that is the exception and not the rule. It is failure brought on by voodoo economics which makes tax cut for the rich a priority so that they can employ people and their wealth can trickle down to the unwashed masses, unless they abolish social security, reduce wages and outsource jobs to twelve-year-old workers in Asia and Latin America. It also doesn't help that the government, having insufficient revenue, pretends that it has nothing to do. I guess that aging infrastructure was going to be repaired as magically as budgets would be balanced with no one paying taxes. We can live with roads that have potholes, with bridges that fall into the river at rush hour and levies that collapse in a storm.

Of course, Rush can his minions can boast no laws were broken. That's because the Republicans repealed them all first.

To put it bluntly to Rush and Governor Jindal: do-nothing government is the problem, not the solution.

Conservative columnist David Brooks, a wiser man than Rush Limbaugh, knows that the real problem with Governor Jindal's response last night was not not stylistic, but substantial. He knows that nobody but Rush and his dittoheads will vote for Jindal or Sarah Palin or which ever one of those witchdoctors in the GOP becomes the sacrificial lamb laid at the altar of President Obama's new New Deal in 2012 that will exorcise the chaos brought by Reagan, Bush and voodoo. Even if it doesn't work as well as we would like, Obama and his team would have to work pretty hard to make it fail like voodoo economics. Mr. Brooks knows that, too.

Jindal in 2012? Palin for President? Come on, Rush, at least find somebody of the stature of Alf Landon to serve as a sacrificial lamb.

More than being pathetic, Governor Jindal's response shows how the situation is very unfortunate. There needs to be an opposition party to the Democrats, and right now the GOP isn't adequate. Even as a Democrat, I know we need an opposition party that will oppose President Obama's programs with new ideas, not the old ones with a proven track record of abject failure.

The Republicans won't become the conservative opposition of the future as long as they're scared of a right wing moron like Rush Limbaugh today. What's really too bad is that mild-mannered, reasonable David Brooks can't scare Republicans in Congress more than the course and rash demagogue with the golden mike.

[pattmarty]

40. He REALLY is a "big fat idiot.

Edit to add: After watching the video, this motherfucker is still getting "high" on some kind of illicit drugs (methamphetamine?).

[newmac]

41. This guy hasn't had a good bowel movement in 31 years.

He's angry about something; that there are people smarter than him. This from the man who supported bush and his ilk for 8 looong years...

[libodem]

42. Mean-spirited liars

his hypocrisy knows no bounds. Does it not?
