Obama Finally Does Something To Win Rush Limbaugh’s Praise

by Ken Layne  

All praise to Barack Obama, killer of that Arab guy who inspired the killing of 3,000 of our guys before we killed like 600,000 of “his guys” (Arab people in four or five countries, mostly Iraq). And finally, radio pinup Rush Limbaugh has praised our colored president. How do we know this? Because we listen to AM talk radio 24 hours a day, while watching Fox News and probably a reality show called Extreme Farting on 97-inch flat screens bought with the proceeds from selling mama’s pills to the other hourly workers at Jiffy Lube.

Anyway, tell us what happened, Tony Pierce of the LAT:

Rush Limbaugh began his radio show Monday morning praising President Obama for his leadership in the demise of Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden ….

“Ladies and gentlemen, we need to open the program today by congratulating President Obama,” Limbaugh said. “President Obama has done something extremely effective and when he does, this needs to be pointed out. President Obama has continued the Bush policies of keeping a military presence in the Middle East. He did not scrub the mission to get Bin Laden. In fact, it may be that President Obama single-handedly came up with the technique in order to pull this off.”

We hope Obama kills somebody really bitchin’ next time, like the “Queen Mum” or Malcolm X. [LAT]

Was Rush high? Duh, of course he was.

walstib May 3, 2011 at 12:28 pm

Fat is never right.

MadBrahms May 4, 2011 at 1:31 pm

My first thought upon seeing the headline was "What, made oxycontin OTC?"

Gratuitous World May 3, 2011 at 11:45 am

i read much about this yesterday (because my life is pathetic) and believe much it was couched with hateful, unfunny sarcasm. That the LAT missed this is shocking (unfunny sarcasm).

when Rush really compliments Obama, you'll know the president did something really wrong.

CliveWarren May 3, 2011 at 11:47 am

Yeah, Rush is still a cunt.
http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/201105020008

You don't exactly need the audio to figure out that the despicable hog isn't serious:

"But President Obama, perhaps the only qualified member in the room to deal with this, insisted on the Special Forces. No one else thought of that. Not a single intelligence advisor, not a single national security advisor, not a single military advisor came up with the idea of using SEAL Team 6 or any of the Special Forces."

Texan_Bulldog May 3, 2011 at 11:53 am

Yeah, Rush wasn't born with the 'kindness' gene; the most he could have got was the 'not a complete dildo' gene which has been pretty much erased by the Oxycontin abuse and all the Colombian Santorum.

GOPCrusher May 3, 2011 at 5:18 pm

Some complement. He continued Bush's policies? That's a complement?

jus_wonderin May 3, 2011 at 11:47 am

Okay, but still, fuck you Rush! Hard. With a cinder block.

DaRooster May 3, 2011 at 11:51 am

To the mouf…

Lionel[redacted]Esq May 3, 2011 at 12:39 pm

The problem is, if you are a young Dominican boy, he would enjoy that.

Lascauxcaveman May 3, 2011 at 11:48 am

We hope Obama kills somebody really bitchin’ next time, like the “Queen Mum” or Malcolm X.

Mission Accomplished!

undeterredbyreality May 3, 2011 at 11:49 am

Rush laughed later about the foolish MSM that took his comments seriously. Pure sarcasm.

Ken Layne May 3, 2011 at 1:08 pm

So you think Google News should be denied "Rush Limbaugh Praises Obama" headlines?

4TheTurnstiles May 3, 2011 at 11:50 am

Bush's policy on Bin Laden? Bush gave up on him in 2002.

nounverb911 May 3, 2011 at 11:51 am

Rush said something nice and his head didn't explode?

Doktor Zoom May 3, 2011 at 11:54 am

As others have pointed out, he had his pudgy sausage-like fingers crossed.

Pop_Socket May 3, 2011 at 1:48 pm

He didn't mean it, so it doesn't count.

OkieDokieDog May 3, 2011 at 11:53 am

I'd rather Obama used the CIA to take out all those reality show executive douche bags. Enough already.

Rush who?

timbo71351 May 3, 2011 at 11:53 am

To be sarcastic about Bin Laden being killed….Rush just reinforced the fact that he is a walking, talking, farting bag of catshit.

Sue4466 May 3, 2011 at 12:01 pm

He's just upset because Obama's not failing the way he wanted.

DahBoner May 3, 2011 at 12:49 pm
DaRooster May 3, 2011 at 11:54 am

"…Obama has continued the Bush policies of keeping a military presence in the Middle East…"

Did we not know this shit was going to be said? Fuck you Rush… and fuck that W guy too. Fucking asshole put us into the slummy position we are in… oh and the guy was a moron.

jus_wonderin May 3, 2011 at 12:00 pm

Just proves Rush will suck moron koch too.

DaRooster May 3, 2011 at 12:23 pm

He most certainly does suck…

nounverb911 May 3, 2011 at 11:55 am

Rush is so lucky that he lives in a country that allows his kind of bullshit. He just never remembers it.

proudgrampa May 3, 2011 at 11:55 am

He must be back on Oxycontin again.

nounverb911 May 3, 2011 at 12:00 pm

Or little Dominican boys.

Gleem_McShineys May 3, 2011 at 5:37 pm

You misspelled 'And'

randcoolcatdaddy May 3, 2011 at 11:56 am

And now, the latest installment of our continuing DC daytime drama, "Show Me How Big Your Dick is By Killing People".

MittsHairHelmet May 3, 2011 at 11:57 am

Definitely sarcastic. Anytime Rush's followers attack someone the MSM likes to describe as "smart and articulate," they mock the idea of intelligence by sarcastically praising it. As in "Obama is so smart, who else would think to use the Navy Seals? Genius!"

This is because in the wingnut world, a liberal with a college education who speaks intelligently can't possibly know anything about the real world or Real America.

freakishlywrong May 3, 2011 at 12:22 pm

Especially a Negro Liberal.

MittsHairHelmet May 3, 2011 at 1:00 pm

how could I leave that out

DahBoner May 3, 2011 at 12:59 pm

It's called "Magical Thinking"

The more ignorant and uneducated you are the more "common sense" you have, unlike those educated experts who only know "book learnin'"…

finallyhappy May 3, 2011 at 11:58 am

Why can't Rush just OD on some of his drugs?(you don't really think he is "clean'?)

SayItWithWookies May 3, 2011 at 12:26 pm

He's just got a more discreet maid.

Lionel[redacted]Esq May 3, 2011 at 12:40 pm

Do you know how many drugs it would take to OD something with that biomass?

DahBoner May 3, 2011 at 1:01 pm

Plus, he takes so much his tolerance is pretty high, that he couldn't physically fit that many into his stomach to OD on…

MittsHairHelmet May 3, 2011 at 1:01 pm

there literally isn't one thing about Rush that's "clean"

BaldarTFlagass May 3, 2011 at 11:58 am

Obviously, he is now in the tank for Obama.

DahBoner May 3, 2011 at 1:02 pm

Somehow, I think this is a part of Hillary's cunning plan for 2012…

freakishlywrong May 3, 2011 at 11:59 am

Dip you poisonous dick in acid and heavily salt it, and have that "rammed down your throat" you vicious hack.

Gratuitous World May 3, 2011 at 12:01 pm

good point. i appreciate that objective defense of these establishment hacks.

Sue4466 May 3, 2011 at 12:02 pm

We should just ignore the sarcasm and pretend he was sincere. Then let him explain how he didn't mean it, he's really sad Obama got Osama.

Ken Layne May 3, 2011 at 1:09 pm

Now y'all get it!

GOPCrusher May 3, 2011 at 5:28 pm

One thing's for sure, whoever the Republiklan candidate for President is in 2012, it's going to be impossible for them to get anyone to believe it if they trot out the "Obama is weak on terrorism" meme.

Callyson May 3, 2011 at 12:03 pm

President Obama has continued the Bush policies of keeping a military presence in the Middle East. He did not scrub the mission to get Bin Laden.
———–
No, Limpballs, Obama did *not* continue the W policies in the ME: if he had, he would not have thought about him much, like W admitted back in 2002, not to mention that inconvenient truth about W closing the CIA office to hunt down bin Laden.
Assholes can't even give Obama credit without trying to distort everything to try to cover their incompetent asses.

Schmannnity May 3, 2011 at 12:03 pm

Next Obama task: heavily tax right wing blowhards making in excess of $30 million per year.

JustPixelz May 3, 2011 at 12:10 pm

How will we be able to tell which right winger blows hard? The test is too horrible to contemplate. (Except with respect to Michelle Malkin, who is obsessed with things being rammed down her throat.)

DangerHelvetica May 3, 2011 at 12:05 pm

Well, this is enough to convince me the operation was a bad idea.

elviouslyqueer May 3, 2011 at 12:06 pm

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: JUST DIE ALREADY, MOTHERFUCKER.

That is all.

JustPixelz May 3, 2011 at 12:08 pm

Donald Trump couldn't have put it any better. Really, he couldn't

emmelemm May 3, 2011 at 1:28 pm

Co-signed. Talk about a person I'm going to be elated to hear an obituary for.

taylormattd May 3, 2011 at 12:06 pm

Rush was being sarcastic. He explicitly said so later in his pile of shit broadcast, and made fun of those who took him seriously.

Ken Layne May 3, 2011 at 1:10 pm

And yet, mysteriously, Google News keeps having headlines like this, today …

taylormattd May 3, 2011 at 1:25 pm

I guess I stopped being surprised that the media was wrong all the time quite a while ago. Here is Media Matters pointing out Rush was being sarcastic by embedding a clip of his actual show: http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/201105020008

Gleem_McShineys May 3, 2011 at 5:48 pm

I sure hope that poor well-meaning talented radio star doesn't get scooter-rioted by his elderly shut-in bediapered rage-aholic fans, for simply joke-praising that Kenyan!

He better recant that ASAP, or else!

V572..whatever May 3, 2011 at 12:07 pm

Hey, ease up on Jiffy Lube. They've ruined more cars than Joey Chitwood.

JustPixelz May 3, 2011 at 12:07 pm

Limbaugh was using sarcasm as a way to say Bush deserves credit for putting these events in motion. That Obama was merely a bystander.

If the plan had gone wrong, I doubt he'd say it was Bush's fault.

But that's not the important thing. The important thing is that Rush believes EVERYTHING that happens during Obama's administration is due to a decision made by George Bush. High unemployment? Bush's fault, not Obama's. Huge deficits? Bush's fault. Health Insurance Reform? Thanks Dubya!

jus_wonderin May 3, 2011 at 12:11 pm

Choking on a pretzel was Obama fault, though.

Ken Layne May 3, 2011 at 1:12 pm

Wow, it's a regular Rush Limbaugh fan club around here. Excuse us!

elviouslyqueer May 3, 2011 at 12:14 pm

The only reason why Rush's racism is thinly veiled is because the FCC would fine his sorry Jupiter-shaped ass if he actually dropped the "N-word" on air.

SorosBot May 3, 2011 at 12:18 pm

I don't know, Dr. Laura managed to say it about ten times (all while berating a black woman for having the gall to be offended by some of her white in-laws' racism) and didn't get in trouble with the FCC.

The N-word is not banned by the FCC; they think shit that only offends ancient prudes like well, shit and fuck are not allowed, but the few actually offensive words like the N-word or the F-words (the gay slur, not fuck) are perfectly OK.

elviouslyqueer May 3, 2011 at 12:36 pm

Ah, good to know. Which then begs the question: why doesn't Rush just go ahead, man up, and actually call a spade a spade (as 'twere)?

RavenRant May 3, 2011 at 7:46 pm
BaldarTFlagass May 3, 2011 at 12:17 pm

"It can't be worth a shit, because it was done by a Democrat, and a black one to boot."

easynewz May 3, 2011 at 12:17 pm

Well that shapes up to be a new idiom:

A black POTUS has to kill at least twice the amount of furriners to get the same credit as a white POTUS.

ThundercatHo May 3, 2011 at 4:57 pm

Wouldn't matter how many brown people "he" killed (has it yet?) since he's still not white himself. Same way black on black crime just isn't that important.

Serolf_Divad May 3, 2011 at 12:18 pm

I'm torn as to whether to promote the meme that Rush Limbaugh congratulated Barack Obama for his fine leadership, or whether to point out (as others have) that he was just being a sarcastic douchebag.

DarwinianDemon May 3, 2011 at 12:42 pm

People who actually listen to that stinking sack of ass know he was being hateful and people who don't know he's a bloated gasbag. therfore it is probably to our advantage to smash this rumor down.

Ken Layne May 3, 2011 at 1:12 pm

Stick with the former.

Serolf_Divad May 3, 2011 at 1:51 pm

Wow, Ken, I just realized that I have more p points than you. That's like finding out that the guy you beat last night in online poker was actually God.

JustPixelz May 3, 2011 at 12:21 pm

I don't see a veil.

politics_nerd May 3, 2011 at 12:21 pm

I guess our Tony missed the sarcasm?

Ken Layne May 3, 2011 at 1:13 pm

You know how when people say "He didn't get it," but there's another person saying, "Wow he really didn't get it"?

politics_nerd May 3, 2011 at 10:58 pm

I don't get it. Is this sarcasm or are you coming on to me?

DarwinianDemon May 3, 2011 at 12:31 pm

I can't believe this story is still being promoted after Rush himself mocked the people who started it. I know it fits the "Obama is a secret republian who murdered some geriatric figurehead who wasn't even accused of planning 9/11" meme, but come on.

DarwinianDemon May 3, 2011 at 12:33 pm

But hey, he didn't call him a "halfrican" so high praise indeed!

Redhead May 3, 2011 at 12:37 pm

Hey, Rushie. These "Bush policies" never worked for Bush in seven years, but Obama ACTUALLY accomplished the mission in two years. I'm guessing Obama tweaked something about them (either that or he actually followed them).

SorosBot May 3, 2011 at 12:43 pm

Or he actually cared, unlike George "I truly am not that concerned about him" Bush.

DarwinianDemon May 3, 2011 at 12:47 pm

Everytime I hear that comment it reminds me of the 2004 debates. Kerry brought it up and Bush lied about having said it and theen threw out lie after lie. "Want some wood? Guh huh huh huh "

DahBoner May 3, 2011 at 12:38 pm

They waz PUNKED by a Hillbilly Heroin addict…

Lionel[redacted]Esq May 3, 2011 at 12:45 pm

Rush's sarcasm is clearly linked to the fact that the couriers that were used to find bin Laden and were killed in the attack were also the ones that delivered Oxycontin to his compound.

privatejoker77 May 3, 2011 at 1:03 pm

President Obama has this reelection in the bag.

DustBowlBlues May 3, 2011 at 1:05 pm

I'm on my way out the door and already late, so I don't have time to read comments. Just dropped by to say Fuck that fat fuck.

BornInATrailer May 3, 2011 at 1:16 pm

I could not believe many "journalists" missed this sarcasm yesterday.

It's almost like you had to skip listening to it yourself and go off what some other rag said. -.-

BZ1 May 3, 2011 at 1:22 pm

and shortly after, the Limp went back to his condescending, imperial self…

mrblifil May 3, 2011 at 1:37 pm

Good christ you idiots, listen to how he said it. He was dripping with more sarcasm than Bristol drips cooze juice when offered a finger-banging from Todd. This is an old strategy of Rush's. During the run up to the 2006 election, the famous Dem sweep, he started saying "we have no chance," "we're finished," "conservatism is a failure," etc…like that. He was tweaking his audience and assuming the voice of his main detractors for purposes of (right wing) comedy. WAKE UP SHEEPLE!

easynewz May 3, 2011 at 6:45 pm

COOZE LIBEL !!!1!

Pop_Socket May 3, 2011 at 1:53 pm

I really like the idea of continuing to play this straight but a lot of people in the Mainstream Media (including Andrew Sullivan) need to get their Sarcasm Detectors recalibrated.

Limeylizzie May 3, 2011 at 2:27 pm

OT But I am on my second straight day of joy and moistness due to Barry's swaggering walk away from the podium on Sunday night.

BarackMyWorld May 3, 2011 at 3:58 pm

Was it Oscar Wilde who said "Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit"?

axmxz May 3, 2011 at 6:15 pm

The funny thing is that now he has to walk back from all this. Namely, praising the country's Commander-in-Chief for getting America's enemy #1. Pure gold.

Gleem_McShineys May 3, 2011 at 6:17 pm

It must really really suck to find yourself, a bloated hateful beast, on this Greatest Patriotic Day of American Skyward Shooting, to be essentially the Patron Saint of Real Merican Four-Wheeler Bumper-sticker Media, and to have to basically take a huge pill-sprinkled fatman shit all over this event, when all his other assorted beeryokels and various animal husbandry enthusiasts are out soaring on their eagles and their ATVs to Lee Greenwood songs.

Imagine how much of that fatbody is just pure boiling bile at having to deny himself the patriotic orgasmic release of cheering for America scoring a righteous kill of the very King of Terrorists.

HA HA, YOU HORRIBLE GOBLIN. THERE ISN'T ENOUGH OXYCONTIN IN THE WORLD TO NUMB THE PAIN OF YOU … BEING YOU.

ttommyunger May 3, 2011 at 6:35 pm

Rush is trying to make nice with Barry? I think not. I am reminded of a statement made by American History's most famous and powerful cross-dressing closet queen: "You are known by your friends, distinguished by your enemies." Barry needs to keep Rush at arms length or more. The queen? J. Edgar Hoover.
