Rush Limbaugh’s schlock & blah ( a blistering op-ed from the Boston Herald)

Blubbery radio blowhard reveals his inner weirdo

He’s the huckster from Bumpkinville whose balloon of hot air did not drop down in Oz, but settled in a gated Florida compound.

Sequestered inside a glass radio booth, Rush Limbaugh is the loudmouthed wizard behind a golden microphone, the blubbery fraud who has enthralled a Munchkin universe otherwise known as “dittoheads.”

Regardless of which way people may come down on Sandra Fluke’s position, the undisputed truth of what happened last week solidifies the fact that Rush Limbaugh is one very weird guy.

And yet, he remains the bloated Elmer Gantry of the whacked-out right, the fat man behind the curtain.

I doubt it will be enough to bring back those sponsors who bailed after being treated to a full frontal view of Rush’s inner sleaze bag. But the fat man knew he had to do something.

Pity the dittoheads.

sick to their stomach.

Are there really that many people who don't have two brain cells to rub together?

Rush Limpbag is the most disgusting thing on radio; how can anyone listen to him day after day and not get some sort of disease from all that negativity?

it's obvious that they are not informed and rushbo established the lie in their heads. I'm sure that rushbo KNEW her testimony was about a girl (a lesbian at that, who wouldn't use the pill for anti- pregnancy protection) who needed the pill for ovarian cysts and couldn't afford them ending up losing an overy, but he ignored that and made it seem she only wanted sex and that is what his ditto heads firmly believe. None of them ever bothered to look up or watch the testimony, they actually believed that she went before Congress and said she needed the pill for sex...right, like anyone would actually do that.

Rush Limbaugh is disgusting for a whole lot of reasons having nothing to do with his weight.

The Koch Suckers and the Bush cartel come to mind.
Some say Rash is hiding something in the closet. The American people have the right to know: What is Rash Limbaugh hiding in his closet?
