Limbaugh: I'm McCain's 'most valuable asset'
Posted: 04:04 PM ET

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/02/12/limbaugh-im-mccains-most-valuable-asset/



(CNN) — He's aggressively targeted John McCain ever since the Arizona senator began his meteoric rise in the polls, but conservative talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh said Tuesday he may actually be the Arizona senator's "most valuable asset."

Commenting on the mainstream media's fixation with his feelings about McCain, Limbaugh said there may be more to his criticisms than meets the eye.

"If I really wanted to torpedo McCain, I would endorse him," Limbaugh said on his radio show. "Because that would send the independents and liberals who are going to vote for him running away faster than anything."

"What people don't realize is that I am doing McCain the biggest favor that can be done for him by staying out of this," he continued. "If I endorsed him thoroughly and with passion, that would end the independents and moderates, because they so despise me and they so hate me."

4. Maybe he just discovered that he's DOA. He's trying desperately to stay relevant!
No one is paying attention to him anymore. Come November--I hope his ratings are so low that he FINALLY gets canceled!

9. No no no THIS is Oxycontin talking-the end of the article
"Couldn't it be said, if somebody wanted to…that I am secretly supporting McCain, because I secretly do want him to win, but I know full well that if I come out and endorse him, he's cooked?" Limbaugh asked. "Who may be in this whole kit and caboodle, this who shebang, the most valuable asset McCain has?"

"Me."

7. The far right wingers who...
actually believe his drivel are taking his attacks on McCain seriously. It may backfire on him.

10. The fat pig is irrelevant. The only thing this sack of vomit pulls is
....well, come to think of it, he doesn't have one, so he relies on little brown boys in the Dominican Republic.

He'll be bawling his eyes out come the morning of November 5th. Be sure to tune in to his show that day.

13. That may've been true in 2000, actually. Now, he's the "last year's model" of hateworthy retrocons

Yep, hate-mongering fascism can be cool for only so long
Eventually one looks in the mirror and screams.

15. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize, after all
So this is actually a step down.

Don't annoy him, or he'll decide to change the moon's orbit!
