Rush Limbaugh’s Dumb Pro-Hillary Scheme Flops

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

Suck it.Loser pill-head Rush Limbaugh has an AM radio show during the daytime. His audience of bitter old white retirees and home-appliance repairmen was instructed to go out en masse and vote for Hillary in open primaries, so that liberal Latino-American John McCain could at least have a small chance of winning in November.

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

No woman can escape his animal appealThis forbidden-lobbyist-love scandal is a stroke of good fortune for John McCain.

He is also being hailed by Christian conservatives for having the good taste to conduct a heterosexual extramarital affair.

Conservative Radio Host Sues Islam

Tuesday, December 4th, 2007

muslims should be deported... and then shown naked on the internetMichael Savage, the eponymous host of conservative radio’s Savage Nation, filed a lawsuit Monday against the Council on American-Islamic Relations for essentially calling him a bigot, of all things! He claims that CAIR illegally used a 4-minute clip from his Oct. 29 program, during which the compassionate host said American Muslims “need deportation.” Savage and his law people say the Muslims “repackaged” these words to make them more shocking. Hmm…. Unless the words before were “Everyone is special and all groups and religions are super equally awesome and no smiling, culturally equivalent Muslims ever” [need deportation], then we’ll probably side with the non-Savages on this one.

Beatnik Comic Michael Alan Weiner Considers 2008 Run

Monday, March 19th, 2007

Bronx-born Berkeley grad Michael Alan Weiner is one of the last merry pranksters of the North Beach beatnik-poet scene. The “free love” alternative-medicine guru and very dear friend of the late homosexual poet Allen Ginsberg realized his lifelong dream of being a subversive comedian like his hero Lenny Bruce, when San Francisco’s KGO allowed him to “prank” the talk station’s listeners in 1994 with his outrageous Andy Kaufman-esque creation called “Mike Savage.”

Learn about his hilarious run for the White House — watch out, Arabs & Mexicans! — after the jump.
