Rush Limbaugh the Comedian?

Rush Limbaugh

So Rush Limbaugh opened his mouth again last week and spewed out more dirty lies and hatred, this time slurs against women.

 Sandra Fluke, a third year law student at Georgetown University, testified before Nancy Pelosi’s committee about the need for contraceptive coverage in a government sponsored health bill.   Suddenly, these were fighting words for Rush.

“So Miss Fluke, and the rest of you feminazis (his made-up word) here’s the deal," he said.  "If we are going to pay for your contraceptives, and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something out of it.  We want you to post the videos online so we can all watch.”

He then went on to call Fluke a slut and a prostitute and continued to ask again to see the tapes.  These statements were so mean spirited, so filled with vitriol, it got more than one commentator wondering if Limbaugh was into porn.  I mean the man's always asking to watch it.  Was he serious?  If not, then why does he keep repeating it?  Who else but an addict wants to see sex in action?

When he was finished with his tirade, it sounded truly like a hate speech.  Because it was.  This time his subject was women.  It started with contraception and then moved to prostitution.  Doesn’t he realize that women vote too?        

Twitter got bombarded with hundreds of angry comments from listeners, who also flooded his advertisers.   Sleep Number, Legal Zoom, Citrix, and Quicken Loan withdrew their commercials from the show.  Pundits and political figures fiercely condemned him.

Yesterday, Limbaugh apologized, in his usual half-assed way.  He said his choice of words weren’t the best in his attempt to be humorous.  Oh really?  You mean he was trying to be funny?

Has he ever seen a comedian in his lifetime?  Can he give us the date and time?

I wonder when people will tired of the dog-do emanating from this guy’s mouth.  The right wingers offered him a pulpit, and Limbaugh stole the entire Republican Party because the regular guys got too frightened to argue and quickly backed away.

But why?
 
Where have you gone Eric Cantor?  Why are you leaving, Olympia Snow?  Somebody’s got to rip that mike from this little Hitler’s mouth.  They got to stop those lies, that hatred, this filth.

I only pray that the sponsors that remain with him will also leave and that the ones who've quit will stay away.
