Speaking of Rush, what is it with Republicans and rape?

> [@Fear\_Itself](#): > > Speaking of Rush, what is it with Republicans and rape? > > [Rush Invokes Rape Analogy To Criticize Filibuster Reform](http://huff.to/1en4qHH) Rush Limbaugh is the perfect spokesmen for the Grand Old Lunatics. Sometimes he’s treated as their leading intellectual. :eek: But when he goes too far, he’s “just a comedian” like Soupy Sales or Harpo Marx. Although mostly a hermit, I’ve come in contact with Americans who watch Limbaugh. I give them a quizzical look; without exception they respond “I just watch him because I think he’s funny.” :dubious: ---
