Watch Cenk host MSNBC weekdays (6-7pm Eastern, 3-4pm Pacific).

Summary: Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break down a clip of Rush Limbaugh analyzing a clip of Robert Reich on Cenk's MSNBC show discussing taxes and wealth redistribution. Uygur and Ana are especially amused by how Rush pronounces names - did years of drugs (Oxycontin) screw up his hearing and could that be a factor?

1. Congratulations, Cenk! You are officially under their skin. (nt)

3. Right on, "Sink"!

:fistbump:

Seriously though, Cenk and Ana really hit this one out of the park. When I heard pigboy declare some newfound concern for the bottom 99% of the population, I knew Cenk wouldn't be able to resist that one. Rush isn't really worried about the angry villagers though - he'll just hire whatever mercenary force he needs to protect his sorry fat ass.

4. I wonder why

someone hasn't done away with this windbag yet? He must have many skeleton's in his closet. Sure didn't take the pukes long to sink Dan Rather. W/O Rush and Rove I believe the nightmare would end.

I sure miss KO.

7. Because his audience doesn't care about the skeletons in his closet.

5. K&R

Love some Cenk and Rush destruction.

Man, though, it sure makes me cringe listening to that Limbaugh guy. It's like damn fingers on a chalk board.

6. I'm quite sure Rush would mispronounce Ana Kasparian.

He'd mispronounce John Smith if John Smith were a liberal. It's this childish little game that right-wingers play to add another level of disrespect when talking about liberal. Hermann Goering (another fat, bloated, drug-addicted possible closet case right winger)got very bent out of shape at the Nuremberg trials when the translator (a young Jewish guy BTW) kept mispronouncing his name.

8. OOh, Rushbo feels the heat from Cenk. I hope there's more coming. Pig. nt

11. Soon he'll realize that the TVT army is too strong.

Seriously, who the hell under age 30 listens to the AM band. That's ancient history.

9. The big lie--again

The Wisconsin employees have agreed to give up an extra 8% of their gross pay to help fund two existing benefits, retirement and health insurance. They have not agreed to give up their rights to collective bargaining. So they are not asking for anything extra. They agreed to give up part of what they have. The Repub bobble heads continue to spread the lie that hte argument is over dollars. It is not. It is only about collective bargaining.

There are plenty of other toxic provisions in the governor's budget, such as selling off state-owned energy resources without competitive bidding and moving 34 positions from civil service to political appointees. These need to be highlighted also.

10. Limbaugh

is merely the mouth of Sauron. Although he is merely a debased corporate entity now, he may have once been human. Maybe.

12. Poor Ana....

Rush has been doing that extended "shhhhhhhh" shtick with Reich since he was in the Clinton administration.

Seems to me, Rush mentioned Cenk about 4 or 5 years ago and came a lot closer to a correct(er) pronounciation then. But that was before the "Uyghur" situation became a cause celebe. I'm betting his new pronounciation has more to do with them in his twisted vision of "humor."

13. Limbaugh always pulled that juvenile bullshit

Overplaying the parody hand in a way that showed that it really did get under his skin ( he doeth protest too much )

I used to be a listener and he was a jerk then too, especially when challenged...well especially from the mid 90's on.

Cons pull the same shit too: "Democrat Party", deliberately not capitalizing names of things or people they hate.

Like another poster said. Cenk just got under his skin.

15. Pass the mouthwash...

...I need to gargle to properly pronounce "Limbaghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghghgh"
