1. He's a parphrased

a report from that bunch of tossers out in Libya : http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle-east/as-ramadan-approaches-libyan-rebels-worry-about-mounting-odds/2011/07/11/gIQA4dgV9H_story.html

3. So why is it August 2nd if Ramadan starts on the 1st?

How does that make any sense? If Ramadan had anything to do with it, it would be at the start or just before the start wouldn't it?

Rush needs to lay off the Viagra. The blood's not getting to his brain. I'd say he should go back on Oxycotin but I don't think he ever went off.

4. The President has to fight losers like Rush....

it's his battle, after all, the extremists he won't really take on just love their Rush...and I think we all know what Rush is.

Tell Rush to shut the fuck up, Mr. President. :(

5. So?

And August 2nd is the feast day of St. Eusebius.
Pfleghmball's point is what?

8. Not to mention National Ice Cream Sandwich Day and the second day of World Breastfeeding Week!

Just like January 12 is National Dumbfuck Day -- which, oddly enough, is also Rushbo's birthday. Coincidence? I think not!

(Okay, I was semi-kidding about "National Dumbfuck Day" -- the rest is real, though.)

11. World Breastfeeding Week?

I could get behind that.
Breast is Best.

6. He is as outdated as vaudeville. Get a new act dude. n/t

7. fuck ru$h

9. it doesn't make sense

aside from its bigotry, etc., the joke fails on the logic.

10. as does most rushschtick.

but his ditto heads won't recognize that and will start repeating it endlessly.

13. Conservatives just don't get irony and satire

seriously they don't I test it out all the time and it is a very accurate litmus test of who you are talking to.

RW hosts like Rush can say this stuff because people not wired for conservatism know that it is a joke ( a lame one but a joke none the less) but his listeners don't understand what it being said. They only hear the literal words.

14. Conservatives and humor go together like dog shit and ice cream.
