7 minutes of Rush today.
Edited on Tue Jan-11-11 06:52 PM by underpants
He, of course, lead with THE staple of RW radio - Victimization -the sick irony of that needs no further mention

He went on a diatribe (couldn't muster up "magnitude" in his pea brain) about grandiose statements on the left and the right mostly stating that the left makes grandiose statements and thinks that everything is about them.

Right - facts logic
Left - beliefs ideals "utopia"

He then went on and on about how the right don't think about what might have caused something to happen or what might cause something to happen they just take the event on its own terms. He admitted that they don't think ahead and have no idea about cause and effect. Oh but actually the Sheriff is only now attacking HIM (he is a victim in this) because the Sheriff didn't prevent it from happening. The Sheriff didn't think into the future....like he just bragged about his kind not doing.

He then asked if the shooter was on unemployment and spitballed as to whether or not the mentally ill should be allowed to receive unemployment. This was meant to be a joke but it was in satirical form which means his listeners have no idea that he is making a joke and probably don't care about the levels of supposition or sickness that it contains.

I pulled into a bakery and got my boss just back from maternity leave some cupcakes. I listened to something else on the way back to the office....as most people do.

1. That must have been your 7 minutes of "hell" listening to him. Sometimes,
you hear something you just can't believe you are hearing it & don't turn away as soon as you want to. To me Limbaugh is sort of that way, I have found myself caught up in something he is saying, driving along, shaking my head that he has as big of a listener base as he does which is scary in its own right, that many in our society.

2. Rush and Michael Jordan, it's always about them. The Michael Jordan
Edited on Tue Jan-11-11 06:38 PM by monmouth
reference is his entering a dining room and passing a table wherein the woman at the table fainted. The next day Jordan called the desk to inquire as to her well being and wondered did she faint because she saw me? Unfortunately no Michael, she fainted and you had nothing to do with it. It's always about them when the ego is above and beyond. The Jordan article is on the front page of HuffPo..LOL.

3. 7 minute root canal without novacain would be more enjoyable.
At least something positive would come out of it.

4. Shorter Rush Limbaugh:
The right only does good things. All bad and wrong things come from the left. So if something is bad or wrong, it is leftist.
