Limbaugh, GOP Just Comically Walking Into Every Trap

by Ken Layne  

Rush Limbaugh my fat foolHow do you get what’s left of the Republican Party to destroy itself? It sure helps to have some self-obsessed drug-addicted sociopath like Rush Limbaugh as “leader” of the doomed wingnuts! At some point in January, the same Obama strategists who outmaneuvered the Clinton Machine and American Racism noticed that an AM radio jackass beloved by angry white guys in service trucks — who else listens to AM radio, during the workday? — was publicly wishing failure upon both the new Obama Administration and the U.S. Economy. Maybe this bloated oil bag could bring down the entire GOP!

Two months later, the plan seems to be working flawlessly. The Obama team says something like, “Hey, Republicans, do you agree with your party leader, Rush Limbaugh, this smarmy sex creep, that America should fail?” And then whatever hapless GOP factotum, such as party chairman Michael Steele, says something reasonable like, “Uh, hell no, and Limbaugh’s an ugly sack of rat shit,” and then Limbaugh bellows on the AM, and then the hapless GOP factotum immediately kisses Rush’s tacky pinky ring, and then David Plouffe puts a column in the Washington Post that he probably wrote six weeks ago, when he and David Axelrod were coming up with this whole funny scheme, while playing chess or something:

But instead of rebuking the radio personality or charting their own course, Republican leaders in Washington are paralyzed with fear of crossing their leader. Less than 24 hours after committing the unforgivable sin of criticizing Limbaugh, RNC Chairman Michael Steele felt compelled to publicly apologize. He was not the first and will certainly not be the last.

Former GOP congressman Joe Scarborough used his Morning Joe program this morning to just beat the hell out of Steele for being a complete pussy. It was almost — almost — funny enough to justify watching Joe Scarborough.

Finally, the very image of Limbaugh — a monstrous, sweating, greedy, fat-fingered Viagra-gobbling sex-tourist Jabba the Hutt figure of vulgarity and revulsion — is, officially, the image of the Republican party. The late-night network comedy talk shows are just loving it:

And now the Democrats have this hilarious “apologize to Rush” form letter. Democrats doing something hilarious? Change really has come to America ….

God damn it’s fun to be the majority party.

Ken, what is the service fee you require in order to change my nickname? Is “Sean” still available?

On balance, the comparison isn’t really fair to Jabba anymore. However, I think the sight of Rush et al. on a sail barge in the desert would be pretty awesome. Doesn’t Dubai need a bailout?

This blingee is incontrovertible proof that Limbaugh is indeed the head of the Republican party, de facto, also.

chascates March 4, 2009 at 1:32 pm

When I copied and pasted this into Drudge’s ‘tips’ window I noticed he leads with this:
ENEMIES LIST: WHITE HOUSE PLOTS LIMBAUGH COVERAGE (no sirens, tho)
which links to politico:
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0309/19596.html

So now the right has to ignore all other issues and circle Rush. Which will take a lot of people.

Zadig March 4, 2009 at 1:33 pm

Fuck all that “strengthening the economy” and “not bombing the fuck out of brown people” shit.
This was EXACTLY the sort of change I was looking for. I am not kidding.

Thank you, Messrs. Obama, Emanuel, and Axelrod, this is the absolute best early St. Pattie’s Day present ever.

CampbellBrown' March 4, 2009 at 1:33 pm

It’s so brillant because Limbaugh is loving every minute of it. The only ones who don’t think it’s so funny are actual elected Republicans. sucks to be you Cantor.

AnnieGetYourFun March 4, 2009 at 1:35 pm

I disagree entirely. I find Rush to be a quite handsome sack of rat shit.

Custerwolf March 4, 2009 at 1:44 pm

I didn’t realize that all it took to make Rush look like a fat old woman was to stick a shiny tiara on top of his greasy head.

V572625694 March 4, 2009 at 1:44 pm

Michael Steele on the linked Website: “I went back at that tape and I realized words that I said weren’t what I was thinking…”

This is the greatest evasion ever! I said it, but I wasn’t thinking it. So it must be someone else who said it. So I must be: (1) talking in tongues like an Assemblies of God member; or (2) possessed! Where’s Jindal when really you need him?

One Yield Regular March 4, 2009 at 1:45 pm

This is more attention than Rush has had in his entire lifetime. Of course, given his narcissistic personality disorder, it’s like throwing Molotov cocktails on a burning oil fire. Hopefully, the explosions will suck all the oxygen out of the air and extinguish the flames in a dull, greasy flash.

self-obsessed drug-addicted sociopath

Spot on. Because Rush would rather see his ENTIRE PARTY EPICLY FAIL than relinquish his fat flaccid power to anyone in the GOP. I love this meme so much. Make sure you tell SKS she was wrong to tell us to stop pouring fuel on this whole “the GOP wants America to fail thing”. I don’t care if this could be misconstrued as hypocrisy since the GOP cried “defeatist” on us when we opposed the war. I see this whole “controversy” as more proof that the GOP is constantly at war with logic. The fiscal wing and the nut wing of the party are fighting over the wheel of the crazy bus. Soon they’ll all drive off a cliff.

Mmmmmm. Have you tasted the schadenfreude? It’s delicious.

Paterlanger March 4, 2009 at 1:53 pm

Where were Plouffe and Axelrod when Donovan McNab needed them? If they’d come up with this plan to kick Rush’s ass back then we could have been Limbaugh free for years at this point.

Lascauxcaveman March 4, 2009 at 1:53 pm

(It’s pretty clear by now that Rush is a double agent, and has been since he’s admitted to himself he’s totally ghey for Barry. It’s only a matter of time before some tweaked and desperate GOP operative puts a gun to Limbaugh’s head. Even though it’s already too late for that to do them any good.)

Rush doesn’t even look like an Eastern European gangster, as Letterman says. He looks like a fat unemployed guy from Jersey who watches back episodes of The Sopranos all night long and thinks he can capture some of Tony’s mysterious charm/power if he just unbuttons that top button, like so.

What would really top this off would be for Rush to get caught in another example of moral failure. So far we have 3 divorces, illegal drug usage and sex trips to Puerto Rico. Am I missing anything?

In the near future I’d really like to see a DUI, tax evasion and bestiality with pictures.

Excellent photo of the Cape Girardeau Whale and his hillbilly heroin hugeness. He is doing Democrats an equally huge favor by trying to keep GOP noses to the Fascist grindstone. Unlike GOP San Bernardino County former Assessor Bill Postmus, who turned out to be California’s chubbiest meth head, Rush looks his drugs. The Dem form letter is perhaps a bit too cute to be “hilarious,” though it’s refreshingly playful for the DCCC.

THE BIG QUESTION for Mar. 3: Is Rush Limbaugh good or bad for Republicans?

Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) said:
I think he’s good. He’s a very articulate guy, he is one of our great conservative spokespersons. But the party’s more than just conservatism. We cover the whole gamut, the whole tent. He’s a very effective spokesperson; I think the world of him.
*******
Sen. Kit Bond (R-Mo.) said:
He’s a great resource for all interested Americans, and he provides very timely and thoughtful analysis and commentary.
***************
Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) said:
I think that Rush inspires the Republican base at a time when there’s a real shortage of morale out there. Like everybody, he says things that not all of us agree with. But I think that his point about the Republican Party staying true to its core values and principles is a message that is well-taken.
****************
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said:
He’s another voice of the Republican Party and everybody’s welcome to join in the debate.

I am going to respectfully disagree with all of you fucking hippies. This is all a ploy on the part of the Democratic leadership to divert the left. Certainly, Rush deserves the place of highest honor at a pig roast, but brains of the Republican party?
He’s not an elected official, he can say any stupid shit he likes, and they can’t throw him in jail for it.

Meanwhile, Karl Rove is still free, and nobody is talking about it.

Normally, someone so close to the prez twisting the knife like this would be overkill. But since we know that Limbaugh is an insane megalomaniac he is going to take the bait nicely. As long as Rush is talking, no other republicans can get a word in. Until someone takes him down. Since he literally always gets the last word, it will have to be done dirty.

If Schadenfruede could be bottled, I’d be drunk by now. I thought Walnuts and Snowbilly (along with their hapless stooge ‘Ho the Plumber) were the ultimate in comedic gold. Who knew that Barney Jindal, Eric Cantwhore, Michelle Steele and the rancid bag of bile know to the world as Jabba the Limbaugh would continue to keep us this entertained.

I see what you’re saying.

Forget death. Let’s let the Loathe-o-Meter settle this. Who’s more horrible to contemplate?

Coulter makes the L-o-M needle jump — she’s detestable, there’s no getting around it. But Rush blows that little pointer right through the red zone, winning in a waddle.

I find it infinitely sad that the party of Rutherford B. Hayes and Warren G. Harding should be closing ranks around RL.

What a world.

Hey! I’ve got just a second before I go watch Religilous, and I don’t know if this is on or off topic, but Ari Fleischer was just on David “starts every sentence with basically” Schuster’s show and good old Ari is wearing contact lenses instead of glasses. He says Rush Limbaugh is all Obama’s fault but the point is, Ari is just as douchey without glasses as he was with them. Also.

And Boner is pissed at Obama about this mess but won’t say a word about Rush. Fuck, here on the eve of the Greater Depression, the Democrats finally elect someone with a set of brains as well as balls.I love Rahm and Carville has found a place in my heart again.

I think that next, we should start a spam campaign telling Repugs that all the stimulus projects are Muslim bridges. Just confuse the hell out of the dumb fuckers.

I am half drunker than usual, so keep that in mind. I’ll be apologizing to Rush tomorrow, as well.

Still I’ve never been happier: Rahm & Co. are now campaigning against Lush Rimbaw, Hilbot is sicking her PUMAness on the rest of the world, my belle Michelle is proving to be hawter than even Jackie, and the Repubsmuts think strutting around on Twitter makes them hip.

This is the change I voted for.

[re=258071]wickedlittledoll[/re]: I’ve been trying to find the right association for Rush with his new black threads. It’s not Eastern European gangsta, nor is it really Jersey mob (they like to wear a little more color, and some gold). I finally got it–it’s Vegas bouncer (off strip).

Ooh–I iz scared mr. fat fucker–what? I can’t touch the ladies? You try to stop me you piece of ass pudding!

Wow. I don’t know why, but I’m continually amazed at how disgustingly hateful liberals can be. It’s pretty transparent when the spewing of venom comes out at non-political figures (i.e. Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, etc.) that liberals are just clinging to whatever they can. Must be a case of “let’s rip on the conservative side so we don’t look so bad”. Didn’t your mothers teach you to play nice?

“Non-political” has to be the kindest description of either one of their figures. Truly they are the Laurel and Hardy of politcal entertainment – best enjoyed without any sound.
And just for the record, venom is never spewed – it’s injected.

agilog March 5, 2009 at 3:24 pm

Republicans use Limbaugh and his angry mob when it suits them, but they’ve created a monster they can’t control, sometimes it bites them in the butt and then they have to “apologize.”

Perfect opportunity for some young Republican Rep to get out there and show some guts. Go get ‘em!

[re=258177]gliberal[/re]: Rush’s dad, Big Rush, was an airman in WW II and flew the Hump, so perhaps Little Rush has heard a bit about Asian women; may even have a bro here in Kunming, or in India, for that matter. But if Little Rush did dare Thailand, I’ll bet he’d spend most of his time whining about “that’s not how we do it in America!” If Fate sent him to Taiyuan by mistake, he’d probably sh*t so many bricks, he’d lose weight.

Nah. “The DOW’s below 7,000″ and our Moolie Messiah needs to distract the whole country with Limbaugh.

Y’notice that every time Mrs. Soetoro’s Failed Abortion opens his pseudoschvoogie yap, the financial markets tank even worse?

It’s an axiom in economics that the people in the investment markets are the “mine canaries,” the most responsive to the earliest sign of poison gas down in the diggings.

Which is what we’ve been getting from Dumbo in massive quantities, ain’t it?

Are the financial markets NOT the “mine canaries” of an economy? Have they not been reacting to our unconstitutional Fraudulence-in-Chief in pretty much the same way that suicidal ledge-perchers react to crowds calling: “Jump! Jump!”? Has not this week’s absolutely pitiful “bounce” in the markets been about as beneficial to the economy as a two-foot rise in the position of a man drowing eighty feet underwater?

Ah, the “Liberal.” No more substance than a soap bubble, and no more real presence in the exchange of ideas.
