THE FACE OF THE PORCINE OPPOSITION








Pillhead/clown/blowhard/addict Rush Limbaugh continues his stentorian grunting from a thousand radios, fervently wishing that President Obama will crash and burn in his attempts to become the savior of the nation, and denouncing any Republicans who might try to collaborate with Obama and his people in their efforts to save us from the abyss. Okay, so Rush may have a right to his opinions, but let’s not forget in that his current rhetoric of negativism and destruction is playing directly to the insane core of his audience base and is, above anything else, an attempt to consolidate his ratings in a news market that appears to be exiting the right-talk lunacy. My fervent hope is that Rush and his kind really are yesterday’s media trend, and will contribute to creating what – in the wake of the election, and in the context of Sarah Palin – I called “a rump fragment of the GOP – the Raving Looney Shotgun Hillbilly Jesus Plumber Party who would, if lucky, constitute some 15% of the electorate and never manage to be more than a noisy nuisance the rest of us could tune out.” But let’s not forget Rush is really protecting his bucks. His radio revenue. The money and the merchandize has always been more important than the politics.

And talking of money and Palin, Klondike Barbie is now shopping for a book deal. Seemingly she thinks her name on a dust jacket is worth $11 million, and, if any publishing house makes that deal while the book industry is in terrifying meltdown, it deserves to go instantly bankrupt.

The secret word is Piggy

My eyes! My eyes! Somebody cover that tie! I think I'm gonna hurl!

OK. Better. Rush wants us to hurl ourselves into the abyss. He's hoping to become the next Father Coughlin; offering fascism as solace to the newly dispossessed. In short order we'll be seeing millions of white men who've never had to think a thought in their entire lives. They'll be wandering around, bumping into the furniture and trying to figure out what this whole figuring things out thing is about.

Rush just needs to hang on long enough to be the first one to whisper in their ears.

Fortunately, I'm young enough that the only Rush Limbaugh I can actually recall was much, much fatter & I can't remember the real man, just the cameo on Beavis & Butthead...

Stu, my friend, Rush Limbaugh is swine. He was a snake oil DJ who discovered there were big bucks in rightwing radio hysteria. After his demanding the death penalty for drug addicts, it turned out that Rush had a big fat oxycontin habit and had been sending his maid out to cop. I repeat. Swine.
