Screwed Rush Limbaugh To Raise Cash For Hillary, Watch Her Lose

Now that Mitt Romney is … please, one second [editorial sobbing] … now that Mittens is out of the presidential race, Rush Limbaugh has to scrape together a new plan for life. Rather than just support John McCain, he intends to to raise cash for Hillary Clinton. Not because he likes her (please)! He wants her to get the nomination so that his party can find a cause to rally around. But that doesn’t mean he likes John McCain! He just wants the Republicans to win the election. But not John McCain! [Raw Story]

  • Pul-leeeze! Don't count on that money, Hillary.

    More likely it's going down his throat and up his ass, in the form of prescription drugs, booze and ugly hookers.

  • "When abused, OxyContin, like other opiates and opioids, can be dangerously addictive."

  • This is the same reason that Pat Buchanan always defends Hillary on MSNBC. They realize that she's the only chance that they'll be able to repair their splintered party.

  • This is a man who once said to a caller, "Philosophy? What does philosophy have to do with right and wrong?" The fact that anyone with a smattering of brains bothers to acknowledge Rush Limbaugh as some kind of political thinker does not bode well for our country.

  • @FloraWay: She is a uniter!

  • I heard Rush guffawing today over Hillary's staff working w/o pay. According to Mr. Pill-popper, "they're forced to work without pay, that's called slavery."

    I'm going to use this logic next time my mother needs her garage door fixed.

  • So if Hillary wins the nomination, in part because of the money that Rush is able to drum up, and then wins the Oval Office, I'm looking forward to Rush admitting, for the next four years, that he has no-one to blame but himself. Hahahaha, not really, but I just wanted to see what that looked like.

  • @BotswanaMeatCommission:

    You poor dear, that must mean you actually listened to that pill popping windbag for a moment. My condolences for that suffering.

  • Rush you poor dope. You have bitched and moaned yourself right out of a candidate and election. Must be good pills.

  • I have a sneaking suspicion that this is less about McCain and more about egomaniac extraordinaire Rushbo being able to claim that he's so powerful he can even get a Democrat elected. He's jumping aboard the Hills train mostly because he thinks she'll win.

    Incidentally, this never gets old to me. Watch the fat tub of goo squirm!

  • No, they're right. He's backing Hillz cos he know she brings the wingers out in droves. Same with Mann Coulter. Hillary is any Repub candidates wet dream, cos she combines conservatives' two biggest bugbears: Strong-seeming Women and Clintons! Also Clinton sucks and would kind of be like a Republican Presdient minus the Uterus Salvation.

  • I just keep thinking what a sweet victory Clinton would have. It would render 20 years of Konservatism totally for naught, and would serve as a massive repudiation of the Repugs.

  • Since when has consistency and logic ever been a resident of Rush Limbaugh's neighborhood?

  • @Baiowulf: (I hate that I'm actually analyzing Rush, like, for serious) The thing is, though, he genuinely hates McCain. So if he's backing Hills just so she can be crushed under the wheels of the new 100-Years War in the general election, he still has to deal with a McCain Presidency. When it comes to windbags like Rush or O'Reilly, I always assume that ego trumps politics. Smart people have ideologies, but people like Rush are more interested in "I told you so's".

    Um, dick joke.

  • There is only one candidate that unite the entire Republican party--Hillary Clinton.

  • Limbaugh knows his party. I live in very red Orange County, CA and have lots of Republican friends. I've heard many of them say they would consider voting for Obama. Never heard a single one say they would consider voting for Clinton. The very mention of her name causes them to stop complaining about McCain and start convulsing. They'd sooner vote for Lucifer, Lenin, or Prophet Muhammad.

  • @weazel: Or it would be eked out, just like the last two presidential "victories" were, and even though Clinton and her people would say things like "mandate" and "a message from the voters," in truth, the country would just remain pretty much split down the middle and no one would feel especially repudiated, just pissed off.

  • @Theodore_Mobius: ...peace be upon him.

  • For me, Hillary-hating has to be one of the most amusing but also mysterious things that's happened on the Right in the last 10 years. I mean, I don't like her either, but then I dislike all politicians. To single one of them out as the anti-christ, and in some cases to mean that literally .... wtf is that about??? Did she eat your kids? Leave you for dead, without kidneys, in a tub of ice?? Put microchips in your forehead?? (Maybe.)

  • I listened to Rush today. He sounds like he wants the repubs to lose so that he can say,"Look, this is what happens when you don't do as I say! " If McCain does win, he owes nothing to the whole Limbaugh/Talk radio group, and they become even less relevant.
    @Theodore_Mobius: Limbaugh thinks he knows his party, but his lack of success bashing McCain proves that he's out of touch.

  • Although I am not supporting Hillary, I know she is smart enough to take the money and probably ask them for more without worry. Look at the primary turnout. The Dems could run Senator Robert Byrd and win this one.

  • @friendlynerd: I think Rush has gone way past "pill-popping windbag" by now. I think "mainlining hot air balloon" might be more appropriate.

  • @moff: Yes, PB&J

  • @bloomistry: Hill hating goes back to the early days of Bill's presidency. They didn't like Bill but at least they could come to grips with the fact that he was duly elected (till the hummer of course). But Hills was not elected and she was acting like a cabinet officer with her health plan. Conservatives really hated that plan and the fact that it was being pushed by a --gasp!-- woman who should have been busy picking the menus for state dinners and not poking her nose in important business confused and angered them.

    Did you hear about the Hillary Clinton special at KFC?

    ITS GOT TWO BREASTS AND TWO LEFT WINGS!!

    HA HA HA!

  • The Gipper's doing 360s in his grave, El Rushbo.

  • @moff: Orange County Forida or Orange County California? Your friends might want to figure that out before they try and vote for Barry in November.

  • I'm a moron. Yes, you're in California.

  • I hope Hillary runs with Al Sharpton. That would get the wingnut thongs in a twist.

  • I don't know what kind of pill cocktail Rush is taking this time, but I want in on the ground floor.

  • You know, Rush Limpballs is the only person I can think of that could cause someone to be confused as to which way to toss an unpinned grenade if Ann Coulter was standing opposite to him.

  • What disturbs is that Rush gets mentioned on all the news networks now. His ego is going to explode.
    After being faux nominated for his Nobel Prize it's deepened his psychosis.

  • Rushbo wants Hill cuz under the Hillary Health Plan, its free pills for everyone!!!

    No more sending illegal Mexican maids out to the Blair Witch to get some magic beans.

  • Rush raising money for Hillary?

    See, I Told You So!

  • @bloomistry: Jesus Christ, don't you follow current events? She fired members of the White House travel office! How soon we forget the burning shame of the Clinton years. Young folks traveling in Europe took to wearing maple leafs on their backpacks, rather than undergo the taunting. "Who are you to lecture us on freedom, Yankee? Is your White House travel director free to go back to work?"

  • the real reason the repugs hate Hillary so much is this. according to me, of course. when Bill Clinton became the president, he handed the dem. party to the big money monsters. there is only so much money can go around. the repugs were furious!!! from then on they had to split the money! how dare they!! that's how Clintons became the worst enemy of the repugs.

  • Okay, I surrender. Hillary is the Princess of Darkness, the Devourer of Souls, Lucifer, The Evil One. In a word, Satan. Rush, you can take that chip shot now ....

  • Hillary's not the antichrist-- she is too cautious and bland for all that. No, she is something more nefarious: a calculated, power hungry politician with the weight of the pathologically-inept Democratic Party Establishment behind her. As far as mainstream Democrats go (which isn't very far), she's not even that bad. She is, however, the candidate repubs know they can beat, because as much as people think "changeĀ® and hopeā„¢" are empty rhetoric, Hillary stands for nothing, believes in nothing, and will accomplish nothing even if she does somehow pull out a victory against WALNUTS! She is that paralyzed by Clintonian centrism, and is that polarizing to members of the Republickin party.

  • Lush has got it made. This is a win-win for him. No matter what happens he will have more than enough to huff and puff about until the icecaps melt and drown us all.

  • @doctordump: OH NOEZ! SOMEONE STOLE MY AVATAR!

  • Is Rush trying to get in line early for an invite to the Lincoln bedroom?
    Tip to Rush: warm yourself up first with a HUGE butt plug!

  • @Hans_Auff: DEAD CENTER IN BETWEEN THEM.

  • If all the Republicans that hate McCain and all the Democrats that despise Hillary stay home on election day, we'll have the lowest voter turn-out ever.

  • Photo reveals: having just chewed his OxyContin and having just daubed his leprous forehead with his burp-rag, Rush thinks, 'Feels so good. But I can BEAT this thing!'
