Either that or “truth in advertising”.
Sheeeiiiiiyiiiiit. “Guts to fight for liberty.” You mean like when he got out of the draft by saying he had an ingrown hair. This guy’s a true piece of shit if you ask me.
Also I do believe Freedumb is parody. Just look at his name.
:smack:
The sound I hear overhead probably isn’t a jet.
“He doesn’t sweat much, for a fat guy”
You know, if you are actually trying to convince anyone that you are worth listening to, you have a highly counterproductive way of going about it.
Anyway, evidence, please. I’m a flaming liberal, and most days I listen to a bit of Rush. Three hours, though? Forget about it. There isn’t anyone on the planet I’d listen to for three hours every freakin’ day. I wouldn’t listen to the original Lord Jesus for three hours.
A eulogy for Rush, in my view, would rightly acknowledge his highly distinctive, syrupy voice, his apparent ability to extemporize at great length on a par with the best of the old Soviets, and his clever building on the legacy of Paul Harvey by backing his relentlessly negative, alarmist diatribes with a Greek chorus of carefully screened callers.
Such a eulogy would of course skate over the fact that he’s also one of the most cynical, manipulative pricks to have bamboozled persons such as your fine self into bolstering his ratings and thereby lining his pockets, but that’s not what eulogies are for. I wouldn’t dance on his grave, but then that’s at least in part because I couldn’t be bothered to go looking for it.
AFAIK the reports are that he recently has lost a lot of his weight.
Bringing up the speculation that drugs are involved as the loss was a huge one. I would think that it would depend on **how **he dies for the media to then remember him fondly or to quickly forget about him.
“Rush Limbaugh was smarter than his audience.”
How was Fr. Coughlin eulogized? Joseph McCarthy? Rush has inherited their mantel and deserves to be remembered in the same way.
Geez, set the bar a little lower, why don’tcha?
These ‘True Patriots’ of which you speak are neither True, nor Patriots. They are traitors who seek to destroy America rather than to live under the rules of the Constitution. They seek a One Party State with their party being the ‘one’, rather than the system of debates and compromise with its checks and balances as set up by the Founders.
The voice of the porcine, drug-addled community is stilled. Who now speaks for the grubby, the greedy, and the unscrupulous? Who will stand to defend the rich and powerful, who will dare for such paltry rewards as buckets of cash and Viagra? Who else can produce such abundant venom, that were he dropped in the Mississippi in St. Paul, the fishkill would extend to St. Louis! Who else has the courage to mock the poor, the sick, and the powerless, and defy their wrath?..
I stand ready to deliver this eulogy to any audience, if need be. In addition to a modest honorarium, it should be understood that at moments of overpowering grief, I am given to outbursts of what appears to be inappropriate chortling. Nonetheless, I stand at the ready, and will offer this elegy should stern duty demand.
Air pollution becomes ground pollution.
I think Glen Beck is now bigger than Limbaugh. Well, not bigger bigger. But bigger. Also crazier, and with a more fanatical fan base.
His former maid can speak at the eulogy and talk about how Mr. Limbaugh trusted her with large sums of cash.
And introduced her to segments of society she might otherwise have not known.
She’s Mexican. Wasn’t she already familiar with those segments of society? I thought it came with speaking Spanish. 
Really, for the first week the MSM would be full of platitudinous bullshit that ignored his faults. It’s how they treat every dead celebrity these days. If our current media were faced with the death of Hitler in 1945 they’d find something positive to say about him, until he was planted. It’s like they risk being haunted by the deceased, especially a politician, until he’s six feet under, at a crossroads, with a stake through his heart nailing him firmly in place.
ETA: Any change beyond that assumes they’d still care after 7 days. Can’t guarantee that with Rush.
Well I know that its Hitler and all, but…
“Hitler was quite the painter. He could paint an entire apartment in one afternoon. Two coats!” -Franz Leibkind
(Nobody give me crap over the film versus the musical either! 
)
I’d never do that. The musical, on Broadway or on film, doesn’t exist.
I should point out that Rush does have a distinct talent. The ability to talk on radio for two+ hours a day is freaking hard. To do it again, and again, day after day, entertainingly? That is a special kind of genius. He is a master storyteller, and a true bard.
The content, I won’t say anything about, but you can’t deny that he’s good at it, and it’s really freaking hard to do. I know, I did it for a few years.
His greatest talent, in my opinion, is being able to piece together and twist around minute and trivial pieces of information in such a way as to convey “reality” in a completely unexpected, bigger, and profoundly unintuitive manner-- in a way that makes it sound not only plausible but likely.
