MANY WORDS WRITTEN ABOUT RUSH LIMBAUGH: The NYT Magazine has posted Zev Chafets’ very long and still pretty interesting Sunday cover story on the AM talk-radio entertainer. Conclusion: Rush is a super-rich weirdo and clever broadcaster who annoys a lot of people and pleases a lot of other people, the end. [NYT Magazine]

    That was heavy. First Rusha sounds almost obediently liberal, and then he sounds insane, and then he sounds insane again. Finally, he comes to his love of autos, whereas he has the capital to purchase said automobile. But before he endorses Jindal, this comes to us morans:

    “Being Limbaugh, he said he believes that most of these shortcomings stemmed from his inability to love himself sufficiently. “I felt everyone who criticized me was right and I was wrong,” he confided. But, he says, he left his insecurities behind in Arizona. “It’s not possible to offend me now,” he said. “I won’t give people the power to do it anymore. My problem was born of immaturity and my childhood desire for acceptance. I learned in drug rehab that this was stunting and unrealistic. I was seeking acceptance from the wrong people.’”

    Whoops. Still a bastard loser.

    “Out of this world! Super comfy, yet very sexy, a wonderful combination! I would suggest these to anyone who wants to make their ass look great and have fun!

    Rated it: *****”

    Sorry, I couldn’t resist going to the American Apparel site and looking at reviews of their shiny gold/rainbow lame biker shorts. It’s just stuck in my head now! Who doesn’t want to make their ass look great and have fun?

  3. Joey Ratz says at 1:21 am, July 3rd, 2008

    It was a pretty good article. Also, it is good to see that even Rush hates Sean Hannity.

  4. RobPetrified says at 1:24 am, July 3rd, 2008

    I enjoy a fine hand made cigar every once in a while.
    And a ’silly pill’ chased with some good, or even some affordable whiskey
    is a fine way to kill an hour or so on a nice, or even a stormy subtropical afternoon.
    So why does ‘Rush’ Limpballs have to make one of my favorite time wasters
    look like a Juarez ‘bride of the burro’ show?
    And does anybody know if ‘Rush’[if thats his real name] is the Bride, or the Burro?

  5. Ken Layne says at 1:26 am, July 3rd, 2008

    Felicia: Oh my god is your avatar “Phillipe,” the beloved child otter?

    RobPetrified: Oh dear god is your avatar … yes, Calvin pissing on the cross, the American dream?

  6. Monsieur Grumpe says at 1:29 am, July 3rd, 2008

    It seemed that not so long ago you couldn’t go to party without bumping into the loudmouth conservative asshole who started every other sentence with “Rush says”. You just don’t hear that so much anymore which shows his declining influence. Of course when you do run into the modern day Rush quoter there so much bullshit attached to the drug addled, serial marrying lying sack of fat that they immediately come off as an idiot. But, there they are, and so, Rush gets a record raise for spreading hate. No wonder he loves America; it’s apparently still chock full of morans.

  7. Lascauxcaveman says at 1:43 am, July 3rd, 2008

    I think Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot.

    Now where’d I get that idea?

    Monsieur Grumpe: Maybe you’re just going to better parties these days?

  8. Cicada says at 1:44 am, July 3rd, 2008

    Monsieur Grumpe: That loudmouth conservative asshole was my father! But now he likes Lou Dobbs *shudder* and Michelle Malkin *double shudder*.

    I’m thinking of trying to wean my dad onto some less noxious morons like David Brooks, or even Jonah Goldberg.

    True story: last Thanksgiving I went to the bathroom at my folks house and Ann Coulter’s “Slander” was on the back of the toilet. Most appropriate.

  9. Felicia says at 2:04 am, July 3rd, 2008

    @Ken Layne:

    Yes it is precious Phillipe. I most identify with him out of the http://achewood.com/ characters because he is the most computer illiterate.

  10. Would it’ve killed the guy to fact-check a few Rush quotes?

    And when Rush disses Bill O’Reilly with, “Somebody’s gotta say it, but the guy is Ted Baxter,” well, actually, someone has been saying that for years: Keith Olbermann.

    And in case you’re wondering, Ken (even though I know you’re not), my avatar is my dog.

  11. shortsshortsshorts says at 2:52 am, July 3rd, 2008

    Ken Layne: Holy mother of god. I have never dreamed that hobos could bring themselves to the internets!

    I have also learnz how to respond to them…
    Mwah.

  12. Oh, and the funniest part is where Rush considers himself the conservatives’ heir apparent to Buckley. Which is a little like Carrot Top considering himself the heir apparent to Bill Hicks.

  13. Aurelio says at 3:23 am, July 3rd, 2008

    To those of you attacking Rush Limbaugh, just remember this. Rush has become a multimillionaire, and he did this by his own efforts. He has pushed the vilest, most deceptive, most unjust proto-fascist propaganda in America. In this way, he has become rich and famous.

    So what are you slackers whining about? Why don’t you get out there and exercise some initiative, like Rush?

  14. shortsshortsshorts says at 3:31 am, July 3rd, 2008

    Aurelio: I agree with your plan of burglary, but you probably need consulting.

  15. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 3:41 am, July 3rd, 2008

    The article does have a point: while it’s easy, almost reflexive to turn off O’Reilly or Hannity or Savage in utter disgust, Rush is captivating, like the Pied Piper or something.

  16. trai_dep says at 3:52 am, July 3rd, 2008

    But they skipped the important question: what is the appropriate tip for a Dominican Republic prostitute when she’s twelve?

  17. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 4:42 am, July 3rd, 2008

    trai_dep: Well, after taxes and franchise fees, a typical three-diamond whore costing $5000 for the night earns about $1000, or only 1/5th (20%) of her gross income (which is why we need tax cuts, btw). A fair tip, as I understand it, would be anywhere from the square of her age in the case of a lackluster performance, to as high as the cube for really good work. Being off the books, this is how prostitutes (and those in the food & beverage industry) live the high life (moreover, drugs cannot be deducted as a business expense).

    While this applies technically only to the bourgeois prostitutes, the proles might also benefit. In this case, your Dominican might get $144 if she uses too much teeth, but if she knows how to change your diaper like your mom used to do, then $1728 would be expected. This does not include the hush money, which is an extra billing charge.

  18. Servo says at 4:59 am, July 3rd, 2008

    Dear Mr. Rush Limbaugh III,

    Your father hates you. Your father hates you. Your father hates you. Your father hates you. Your father hates you. Your father hates you. Your father hates you. Your father hates you. Your father hates you. Your father hates you. Your father hates you. Your father hates you. Your father hates you. Your father hates you. Your father hates you. Your father hates you. Your father hates you. Your father hates you. Your father hates you. Your father hates you. Your father hates you. Your father hates you. Your father hates you. Your father hates you. Your father hates you.

  19. AngryBlakGuy says at 7:31 am, July 3rd, 2008

    …well considering the fact that he is about to sign a 400 million dollar contract with Clear Channel “The Pigman” must be doing something right. That and the fact their are more IDIOTS in this country then I previously thought and hopefully Clear Channel goes belly up.

  20. Jaco Gregorius says at 8:17 am, July 3rd, 2008

    A famous Austrian once said: “Sometimes an asshole is just an asshole.”

  21. loquaciousmusic says at 8:19 am, July 3rd, 2008

    My avatar is my fucking star commenter star.

    If Rush were on Wonkette, he wouldn’t have one.

  22. theblackdog says at 8:28 am, July 3rd, 2008

    loquaciousmusic: If Rush were on Wonkette, we’d have to hear his stories about all the buttsecks he gets from Larry Craig. *shudders*

  23. hrhkingfriday says at 8:36 am, July 3rd, 2008

    theblackdog: No, not butsecks, just the oral. Why do you think he’s always sucking on a phallic object in photos?

  24. RuperttheBear says at 8:36 am, July 3rd, 2008

    NotUrEvryDayWEzl: I’d work on “or something” a little bit. So, “the Pied Piper or a bunch of NAZIs shooting children.” Or “the Pied Piper or the smell of rotting flesh.” Or “the Pied Piper or a prison gang rape.” Or “the Pied Piper or the bastinado.” Etc.

  25. JamesMichaelCurley says at 8:40 am, July 3rd, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: Clear Channel is still in the process of being purchased by Bain Capital Partners, (and a few other capital venture companies), the company founded by the orange skinned Mittster. Can we even imagine how pompus and sanctimonious a Clear Channel would be, owned by Bain and having Rush as the major asset? Next time Clear Channel bans a group for insulting Bush they will lynch them too.

  26. PoliticalGraffiti says at 8:47 am, July 3rd, 2008

    loquaciousmusic: hahahah!

  27. Hannity, Limbaugh, Levine, O’Reilly have vested interest in promoting wedge politics: it is in their financial interest to divide America. It has made them rich. Driving Americans apart for money…this is evil defined. And who are the simpletons who worship these manipulators? Rhetorical: They are living proof of my theory on how American medical technology has circumvented natural selection. One hundred years ago the simpletons would all be dead, bleeding to death after having gotten their dicks bitten off after having unwittingly stuck them in a goat’s mouth. But now they get rushed to the ER, the bleeding is stopped, and their dicks are reattached…they live…they multiply. You think it’s bad now? Just you wait until universal healthcare comes.

  28. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 9:37 am, July 3rd, 2008

    Rush gets $38 million per year for being a pole-smoking, opiate addicted, fat fuck blowhard, but he still gets NO WHORE DIAMONDS. Muahahahaha!

  29. Too many pages on some fat, narcissistic drug addict for me to read.

  30. friendlynerd says at 9:56 am, July 3rd, 2008

    Is it some kind of rule that he can only be photographed with that cock cigar in his mouth?

  31. ForeignSickSpecialist says at 10:23 am, July 3rd, 2008

    Ditto, ditto, and, uh… ditto, ditto… ditto, ditto, uh, um… ditto, ditto, and ditto!

  32. S.Luggo says at 10:38 am, July 3rd, 2008
  33. JSDC007 says at 10:38 am, July 3rd, 2008

    By the looks of that picture, his big mouth also has some amazing cock-sucking skills. Witness how he’s about to swallow that giant cuban cigar whole.

  34. JSDC007:
    The perfect funnel he makes with those fat lips.

  35. Truculent says at 11:14 am, July 3rd, 2008

    And if there is any ironic justice in the world, those tobacco-fileld penises he stuffs in his mouth will generate a tumor necessitating the removal of his lower jaw. Ever see pictures of him with the wire plugged into his head so he can hear? A cochlear implant, or a direct connection to the Mind of Dick Cheney?

  36. badco/LoJ says at 11:40 am, July 3rd, 2008

    Who knew that MF DOOM changed his name back?

    (tips brew for Subroc)

  37. tonashideska says at 11:43 am, July 3rd, 2008

    Will rush’s head deflate if you pull his implant plug out?

  38. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 11:51 am, July 3rd, 2008

    tonashideska: Nope, just like his body won’t deflate when the buttplug is pulled out. And Larry Craig should know.

  39. S.Luggo says at 12:07 pm, July 3rd, 2008

    JSDC007: He’s learned from the best: http://www.shout.net/~bigred/Limbaugh.jpg

  40. shortsshortsshorts says at 1:05 pm, July 3rd, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: You drunken bastard. What the hell were you talking about?

  41. Big Al1317 says at 1:38 pm, July 3rd, 2008

    Love the picture of that white fat ass sucking on a big brown. . .thing.
