its like watching a fish flop around on the deck of a boat

if he thought it would save his ass, tomorrow he'd join the communist party

The difference being, when the Left calls you a sociopathic junky, it's less an insult and more a clinical description.

Oh for fuck's sake. Is this man completely unable to be graceful or classy? I mean, I've seen plenty of instances where he wasn't either of those things, but... I'm beginning to think he's simply not capable of pulling them off ever.

Not so long ago, when Rush shot his big mouth off, there would have been an outcry which would only serve to fuel his popularity. This time, it actually cost him one of his sponsors. That's the only reason he apologized.

You're an antique. Limbaugh, a relic of a bygone era. Most of the country regards you with mild curiousity blended with revulsion and pity, like a poster depicting a minstrel in blackface.

Shut up, sit the shelf and gather dust like a good little tchotchke.

No, actually Rush the real reason you "apologized" (though it wasn't really an apology in any serious interpretation of the term) is because you're costing your station money. 5 or 6 major advertisers left as a result of heat you brought down on them. So, you're trying a bit of damage control while, all the while, using your usual lame-ass excuses to try and semi-justify what you do. Funny...the right-wing media rails and rails about when people like Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert point out they're "comedians" and shouldn't be taken as seriously as real journalists and say they're dodging the issue, but bloated, disgusting radio/TV pundits like yourself retreat into the "BUT I'M JUST AN ENTERTAINER WITH OPINIONS" at least 2 or 3 times a week because you're gutless fucking turds who can't even stand by your fakey outraged opinions.
I'm not a big fan of Michael Moore, but he put it very this week when he said "Who's the prostitute now, bitch?"

Ah, Rush is just saying that so Obama doesn't Breitbart his coke.

Cool story Rush

One of the things that really astounds me is that nobody seems to know what purpose an apology is supposed to serve. When you apologise, you're supposed to make it clear that you understand not what you did was wrong, but why you did was wrong, so that the person or persons you are apologising to believe that, armed with this new insight, you won't do that sort of thing again. It's not just a thing you do and that undoes the bad thing you did. It's also not hard to fake a proper apology.

I hope he apologizes to Peter Gabriel, who is getting ripped out of ton of royalties every time that clip gets played.

Rush woke up that day, jotted down some notes on what he was going to talk about and got fucking excited about having a reason to call someone a slut on the radio. This was no accident, no slip of the tongue, this was his propaganda pandering act getting a nice little wrapped gift and he wanted to open it in front of everyone. No one should be surprised that he's offering up an empty apology to satisfy his sponsors that he ultimately spins into more extremist right wing rhetoric. Business as usual until he gets cancelled.

When Rush Limbaugh goes to a murder mystery party, he always insists on playing the victim.

Fuck you.

Look forward to the day his generation is all gone.

Until his advertisers started bailing, this is exactly what he wanted/knew would happen. In fact, I'm not all that certain he really cares that much about the advertisers, because he's still talking about this shit on his show. Apparently.

I've asked before and I'll ask again: why hasn't this fat fuck's heart just exploded already?

make that shot AT 6 times, hasty brain and hands...

I pray you change your ways and reach enlightenment before the maggots feast on your corpse, Rush. But something tells me you're going to die a ridiculous flesh puppet with an empty heart, and frankly, I don't feel too bad about that.

The entire history of Rush Limbaugh's effect on the political Right is to wound it at incredibly inopportune moments.
