The monkey shoots a fish in a barrel thread: Rush Limbaugh claims oil is "as natural as seawater".

I blame the conservative mania for light regulations and the gutlessness of liberals who let them set the political agenda and mood music.

His throat probably has a special valve where the manure only goes in one direction.

I dunno, I kind of see him more of some kind of dog-cow combination: he gobbles down shit only to spew it back up later.

Apropos of nothing, there’s a scene in Native Tongue, by Carl Hiaasen, where the theme park’s steroidzilla head of security gets raped by a dolphin.

Hey, why don’t we make an unwritten rule here? If an OP says “And, y’know, I really don’t want this to degrade into a discussion of underage weasels in sailor suits…” why don’t we control ourselves? And NOT keep bringing up underage weasels in sailor suits?

And if you don’t think underage weasels in sailor suits are hilarious, you’re a loon. In a sailor suit.

The reason the thread hasn’t gone the way you hoped is right there in the thread title, it’s like shooting fish in a barrel - everyone knows Rush is an idiot.

Oh and by the way, I always thought you’re name came from here:

I find nothing to disagree with here.

No, i called you an idiot for claiming it’s the “mirror image of Mallard Fillmore.”

Happy to help.

So now we had the cat named Bob stuck in the tube. My buddy George thought maybe we could use the PVC potato canan we had and maybe shoot a tennis ball up there and that would flush the Bob the tailless cat out. So we spray a bunch of Aquanet[sup]TM[/sup] in that thing, but we can’t find any tennis balls. He wants to put a baseball in the thing, but I said that might hurt the cat and what we needed to do was get his semi-tame racoon that he keeps in the pen out back. It’s only got three legs but everybody knows that racoons love twizzlers.

Rush’s statement is idiotic because the concept of “natural” is meaningless. It doesn’t matter if something exists because of no human interaction, or limited human interaction, or a lot of human interaction. The only thing that matters is what something is.

Use of “natural” as if it means something is not isolated to right-wing morons.

I just wanted to address one outstanding question from early in the thread:

Dolphins have incredibly large penises.

Do you believe everything your mother tells you?

I dunno 'bout that. I’m fairly credible when it comes to penis size. Er, of other species.

Credulous, perhaps. Credible? Well, sure, so far as I’m concerned, but then I’m credulous as well…

So long as you don’t cross any state lions for immortal porpoises, I suppose you’re on safe legal ground.

Can someone link me to a column published by Rush, book reference, or major news report on video/transcript with the quote attributed to Rush? My searching doesn’t seem to be the best today, and I seem to get circular-references among the usual Liberal Anger Blogs (as well as Conservative Apologist Blogs). Can anyone find an original reference?

I’m trying to find it for Cecil, not because I’m trying to defend Rush or make some sort of veiled political jab.

Go ahead. I guarantee, somewhere, there will be someone strange enough to watch… Even if you charge them a fee to see it :eek:

Next time, buy American.

When did you start hating America? :smiley:

From the St. Petersburg Times, Una: http://www.tampabay.com/incoming/oil-hits-louisiana-coast-could-reach-florida-by-sunday/1091532. Rush’s quote comes near the end. I don’t think it’s the original reference, but at least it’s a direct quote.

Yeah, but I hear their blow jobs are to die for. :stuck_out_tongue:

Here ya go, Una. A transcript right from his own archives (April 29). Last paragraph has the money quote, “It’s as natural as the ocean water”.

P.S. If anybody knows how to ping Una, this does count as official Cecilian business, I believe.

P.P.S. Happy to have been of service. :slight_smile:
