Limbaugh resigns as ‘titular head’ of the Republican Party, passes ‘the baton’ to Colin Powell.

Today on his show, hate radio talker Rush Limbaugh delivered a tongue-in-cheek monologue in which he announced that he was “resigning as the titular head of the Republican party.” Limbaugh explained, “It’s not an office I sought, it was a position that rather was ladled onto me…without my acquiescence. … I quit!” Explaining his reasoning for his resignation and continuing his public feud with Gen. Colin Powell, Limbaugh said:

LIMBAUGH: There frankly is someone far more qualified and capable and more in tune with today’s Republican party than I to be, not only its titular head, but its real head and that would be Gen. Colin Powell. So, I now pass the baton to Gen. Powell as the titular head of the Republican party. From this day forward, it will be up to Gen. Powell to instruct the party on things it needs to do to win elections in 2010 and of course the all important presidential election in 2012.

Watch it at link~

While it’s not clear whether or not Powell is “more in tune with today’s Republican party” than Limbaugh, Powell is certainly “more in tune” with the American public.

16. Or a "bro." They have become a puchasable reality in Japan...!

They are sold as "stress relievers." NO, I am not making this up!

Early last year the answer occurred to him. The few male customers who had called his Tokyo-based company, WishRoom, inquiring about bras did not seem interested in making their pectoral muscles look bigger, or improving their posture. "They said wearing a bra just made them feel more calm, relaxed and revived," Tsuchiya said. From a man's perspective, it turned out, the sole and sufficient purpose of a bra was psychological.

Still, wary that he was venturing where no lingerie line had gone before, Tsuchiya was cautious in placing his first order. Consequently, just 160 of the A-cup bras — in chest sizes 80 cm, 85 cm and 90 cm — arrived at his delivery center in Nerima Ward last November.

Within a week of putting them on his company's store in the online shopping mall Rakuten, the bras had sold out. Within a month they were being featured on TV programs and in newspapers, and shortly afterward an avalanche of orders arrived. "We got the factory to put more people on, and we can now produce 1,000 per month," Tsuchiya said, explaining that this allowed them to just keep up with demand.

Customer feedback makes it possible to gauge what kinds of men are buying bras. "Japanese salarymen have a lot of stress, and the bras seem to relieve that," said Tsuchiya, identifying office workers in their 30s and 40s as the main clients.

12. No shirtless photos. I beg of you not to post any such thing.

Limbaugh sans chemise is an ugly, ugly concept.

3. "ladled onto me"....... ??

I've never heard that expression. Fits him perfectly, however. Ughhhh...........

[rateyes]

5. Like gravy. nt

[FriendlyReminder]

6. Just figures that he is always thinking about food.

[OneGrassRoot]

8. Exactly...lol. n/t

[MineralMan]

9. Calls to mind a nice pork roast. Every once in a while,

it's good to ladle the rendered juices over the roast while it's cooking.

Or maybe I'm thinking of a pig for some other reason. Who knows?

7. "It was a position that rather was ladled onto me"

:rofl:

Was that what he was doing down in Haiti with those young boys?

[dixiegrrrrl]

10. "ladled on me" is a fitting image for such a tub of pork.

11. Hey Colin, take that baton and fix Rush's anal cysts for him.

:hurts:

[MineralMan]

13. Ugh! I had to take a dog to the vet to have his anal glands

"expressed." I could never listen to Limpballs "express" his secretions after that.

[janx]

14. Nope! His term has only just begun. He gets a good salary,

after all. Whether he likes it or not, he's still the leader of the Republican party. ;-)

[Cha]

15. Can't he get ladles of pork

gravy outta his mind for one second?!
