Rush Limbaugh’s Ladyfriend’s Adorable Puppy Obscures Important Healthcare Debate

Oh that is a cute goddamn dog they got thereRush Limbaugh, grr! The other day he brought up on his radio show the oft-cited observation that your dog’s penicillin costs 25 cents while your own penicillin costs 25 dollars, which sucks for you, or something to that effect, and blah blah blah free markets and healthcare. WHATEVER. The point is his girlfriend has a very charming Old English Sheepdog that bears a startling resemblance to Bo Obama. However, this sheepdog will grow up to be a huge badass herding wookie, while Bo will just sort of look like a fucked-up Poodle, so Rush Limbaugh’s girlfriend clearly wins this round. (Also: Rush Limbaugh has a girlfriend?) [The Rush Limbaugh Show]

    Umm…he said “a friend of mine, a girlfriend” which is rather putting too fine a point on it, don’t you think? That, and the fact that it is the gheyest puppy on the planet and he allowed himself to be photographed in full puppy canoodle mode, well, I leave it to the reader to come to his/her own conclusion.

    Rush Limbaugh is a trusted authority on how to get cheap prescription drugs.

  3. Hmm, the animal porn images this brings up do not turn me on.

    However, if waterboarding or other torture were involved along with doggiesecks, then that might get me to watch.

  4. sad tortoise says at 10:14 am, June 17th, 2009

    Oh, that lucky woman!

  5. zenferret says at 10:14 am, June 17th, 2009

    He rents girlfriends. He gets a better deal than with hookers by making longer leases. Well plus he doesn’t actually fuck them.

  6. x111e7thst says at 10:15 am, June 17th, 2009

    It’s easier to say “girlfriend” than “the medical technician who keeps my anal fissure clean and lubricated”.

  7. Ignorman says at 10:17 am, June 17th, 2009

    [The Rush Limbaugh Show]: Why?

  8. SmutBoffin says at 10:17 am, June 17th, 2009

    Wait, is it still Daryn Kagan?

  9. Larry Fine says at 10:17 am, June 17th, 2009

    x111e7thst: that was funny

  10. Humpback says at 10:17 am, June 17th, 2009

    Did that dog kill Elmo?

  11. A Better American Than YOU says at 10:18 am, June 17th, 2009

    I saw 10 ounces of table salt for $8.99 at Whole Foods. It was for washing the snot out of one’s nose. You can get it at Kroger for $.45 a pound.

    I buy live, fresh calamari for $.50 a pound at the bait shop. I use dog penicillin. Also.

  12. BillyClubb says at 10:20 am, June 17th, 2009

    Rush Limbaugh’s girlfriend? Oh please, I still say Rush is gayer than the volleyball scene in “Top Gun.”

  13. BlueStateLibtard says at 10:21 am, June 17th, 2009

    This is actually a good idea, give the man a break. Allow vets to dispense medicine and healthcare to people. Yes, their offices smell a bit, but we’d save tons of money.

  14. 4tehlulz says at 10:22 am, June 17th, 2009

    >>Rush Limbaugh has a girlfriend?

    If by girlfriend you mean Dominican ladyboy, then yes, he does.

  15. charlesdegoal says at 10:22 am, June 17th, 2009

    The actual purpose of linking to this abomination escapes me. Also, the George Will argument that the public sector is more corrupt than the private sector remains to be proven. In my opinion, it’s a tied game and they’re going into extra innings.

  16. bitchincamaro says at 10:23 am, June 17th, 2009
  17. Rush has a girlfriend? It’s too early in the morning for that one..

  18. Monsieur Grumpe says at 10:25 am, June 17th, 2009

    What is the going price of canine Oxycontin?

  19. paintitblack says at 10:27 am, June 17th, 2009

    Lush Rimjaub has a beard (he’s had several over the years), who he no doubt pays well to provide this, uh, “service.” And then, yes, there’s the nancyboy in the DR who does the job.

  20. It’s obvious the lady has zero self-respect. I hope she at least has the common sense to demand a steep price to compensate her gag reflex fatigue.

  21. WadISay says at 10:30 am, June 17th, 2009

    So when Rush yells, “Hey, bitch, come in here,” who trots in from the next room?

  22. Serolf Divad says at 10:33 am, June 17th, 2009

    4tehlulz:
    Win.

  23. PeteJayhawk v2.0 says at 10:35 am, June 17th, 2009

    Holy crap.

    I had a dream last night that Rush Limbaugh died of a drug overdose, no joke. I was confused to wake up to this post, as in my mind the fat bastard was actually dead. I had a sad when I realized it was only a dream.

  24. orange says at 10:36 am, June 17th, 2009

    what a lucky pair of fupas.

  25. He can’t grow a beard, so he hires one. What’s hard to understand about that?

  26. I’m sure she’s required to wear a Southerner’s burqa, aka a Klan outfit.

  27. Mild Midwesterner says at 10:41 am, June 17th, 2009

    I get all of my medical advice from a fat smoker with a prescription drug problem.

  28. Speed Ball says at 10:42 am, June 17th, 2009

    Noodle Salad: Notable, because that dog has Oxycontin perscriptions from no fewer than three area veterinarians.

  29. BadKitty says at 10:43 am, June 17th, 2009

    Wait, Limbaugh’s inflatable doll can talk? I suppose $400 million would be enough to pay for the deluxe model.

  30. Texan Bulldoggette says at 10:44 am, June 17th, 2009

    Poor Rush. Attributing human characteristics to his realdoll again. There’s a term for that; I just don’t care enough about Rush to look it up.

  31. CrunchyKnee says at 10:45 am, June 17th, 2009

    x111e7thst: Well played!

  32. mrsixinch says at 10:48 am, June 17th, 2009

    BlueStateLibtard: I’ve known more than one horseowner grind up equine painkillers and take use them “off-label.” Not recommended, but apparently they do the job rather well.

  33. Come here a minute says at 10:51 am, June 17th, 2009

    Bitch set me up, with OxyContin.

  34. Ignorman: Not that I even remotely disagree with the Politico link ban (Official Stance: Fuck Politico), but if there’s a link ban against Politico, how the hell isn’t there one for the Fucking Jabba the Hutt Show?

  35. Snarkalicious says at 10:59 am, June 17th, 2009

    Mild Midwesterner: Whatever he’s charging you, I can do it for half. To the rest of you: Amoeba’s don’t fuck. He’s referring to his own cellular offshoot that he dresses up in a spare bra and lipstick. Philistines.

  36. Canmon (the Inadequate) says at 10:59 am, June 17th, 2009

    Did Rush need the penicillin because of something he caught from the girlfriend or the dog?

  37. takes12no1 says at 11:02 am, June 17th, 2009

    Servo: I believe Rush and OJ swap their low self esteem girlfriends regularly.

  38. Canmon (the Inadequate):
    It was for the tainted peanut butter used in the performance involving the lady and the dog.

  39. S.Luggo says at 11:06 am, June 17th, 2009
  40. WestEdEd says at 11:06 am, June 17th, 2009

    Canmon (the Inadequate):

    We are missing the obvious–

    girlfriend=the dog.

    Now that Willow Palin is too old for him, anyway.

  41. Come here a minute says at 11:06 am, June 17th, 2009

    Hey;

    anyone know of any job openings for someone wiht a background in canine pharmaceuticals? In the Washington or Northern virginia area?

    It’s for a friend who is also a capable compliance officer for sheepdog handling firms, and has worked for the RNC.

    Also, do you have teh phone number for Craig’s List?

  42. A girlfriend? Why now, he’s a big fat fuck.

  43. Mr Blifil says at 11:08 am, June 17th, 2009

    Zadig: Because his is a comedy site.

  44. Noodle Salad says at 11:13 am, June 17th, 2009

    Speed Ball: I’m just waiting for him to move up to horses.

  45. zhubajie says at 11:14 am, June 17th, 2009

    The dog IS the girlfriend!

    SmutBoffin: Daryn’s lease expired long ago.

    Come here a minute: I hear Sen. John Ensign needs a new dog handler.

    Speed Ball: Ensign could write him a scipt

  47. Gallowglass says at 11:23 am, June 17th, 2009

    “Girlfriend” is a unusual choice for describing the underage Thai shemale prostitute you picked up on your last trip to Bangkok, Rush.

  48. RoscoePColtraine says at 11:24 am, June 17th, 2009

    Will we all be able to get beef flavored penicillin under the Obama plan? Yes? YAY!!!!!!

  49. x111e7thst says at 11:37 am, June 17th, 2009

    mrsixinch: bute?

  50. The Cold Sea says at 11:37 am, June 17th, 2009

    Chicks will do anything for money, including “date” Rush Limbaugh. She should get an Expedition Badge for finding his dick under all that fat.

  51. hobospacejunkie says at 11:40 am, June 17th, 2009

    BillyClubb: Top Gun was gay? Why am I always the last to know?

    Monsieur Grumpe: Don’t know about doggy painkillers but once when I was (involuntarily) withdrawing from heroin I sucked dowm several doses of the oral cat painkiller. Turns out it’s an NSAID, non-narcotic, and did nothing to alleviate my suffering. Tasted good, though.

  52. proudgrampa says at 11:41 am, June 17th, 2009

    Who is Rush Limbaugh and why do we care about his girlfriend’s dog’s medical plan??

    Sheesh.

  53. Gopherit says at 11:46 am, June 17th, 2009

    Anyone who has a pet knows the definition of “affordable veterinary care.” It’s a fucking joke to use the veterinary model to convince people to not socialize medicine in this country. My wife and I have one cat that cost us well over $5000 one year. It was that or euthanization…..something the fucking republicans aren’t big on for people. So fuck you to death with a rusty chainsaw, Rush. You’re a fucking idiot.

    And Rush’s cat, that’s the only pussy he’s getting, my friends.

  54. Lascauxcaveman says at 11:53 am, June 17th, 2009

    Oh, please. As a person with a couple of cats and a former live dog in the family, I can assure you don’t get anything at the vets for $.25; be nice if you could, but that’s just another Limbaugh fairy tale.

  55. RoscoePColtraine says at 12:24 pm, June 17th, 2009

    Lascauxcaveman: And in my own experience it’s the opposite of what he said that’s true. Generic drugs for my dog cost way more than the same generic drug for humans. What a fucking liar Limbaugh is.

  56. The Station Manager says at 12:27 pm, June 17th, 2009

    I only have three words to say about this: Gross.

  57. El Pinche says at 12:31 pm, June 17th, 2009
  58. Gorillionaire says at 12:48 pm, June 17th, 2009

    Dog medicine costs just as much or even more than the human version. My vet will always tell me “well this arthritis medicine is $26 at our counter, but take this script to Target and you can get it for $4″ or “nah don’t buy that stuff, you can get it OTC for a fraction of that”. I asked him why does his clinic keep selling the stuff at the big prices and he told me that some clients just won’t give their pets the human version. They sort of insist on paying extra for the boutique dog or cat labled version of the exact same thing.

  59. Serolf Divad: Hey Serolf,

    Did you miss that conversation where they talked about banning everyone who says ‘win’? Damn, now I’m banned too.

  60. Hooray For Anything says at 1:09 pm, June 17th, 2009

    Now I ain’t sayin’ she a gold digger (When he’s in need)
    But she ain’t messin’ wit no broke N—– (She steal his money)
    Now I ain’t sayin’ she a gold digger (When he’s in need)
    But she ain’t messin’ wit no broke Ni—–(she gotta leave)

  61. mrsixinch says at 1:10 pm, June 17th, 2009

    x111e7thst: Yup. I don’t remember the exact numbers but from a large animal vet or via mail order its a helluva lot cheaper than from Rite-Aid.

  62. sati demise says at 1:13 pm, June 17th, 2009

    Monsieur Grumpe: Tramadol Hydrochloride-$16.99

  63. Hooray For Anything says at 1:14 pm, June 17th, 2009

    BlueStateLibtard: Dog medicine doesn’t work with humans. Did you see what happened to Kramer?

  65. nutcracker says at 1:26 pm, June 17th, 2009

    Rush would know about canine drugs. He’s been stealing his dog’s oxycontin for years.

  66. ImpureScience says at 2:49 pm, June 17th, 2009

    I think we’re on to something. Purina Puppy Chow is 32.2 lb for $25.99 while 64 oz. of Cap’n Crunch goes for $63.99 on Amazon. Wait a second, how long do dogs live, anyway?

  67. JDHART says at 3:30 pm, June 17th, 2009

    Rush has a girlfriend? The teenaged girls in Thailand are going to be happy to hear about that. Now if only Viagra would give him an ass rash, the world would be a much better place.

  68. decora says at 10:48 am, June 18th, 2009

    what does rush have that i don’t?

    im fat, balding, old, and perpetually cranky, and yet, single, while mr limbaugh, sharing all the same qualities of my lifestyle, instead enjoys evening conversations about petfood with a mysterious beau.
