I'm assuming the "C" in CPAC stands for clown.

I don't know what exictes me more. The possibility that Rush Limbaugh is the new leader of the Republican Party, or Sarah Palin being the 2012 GOP presidential nominee.

Complete fucking implosion...

Looks like there is a revolt in the ranks:

I think the repub base -- that is to say, America's most vocal loon fringe -- will soon resemble the alleged party that formed around Perot, but nothing else. Buchanan destroyed that one -- using markedly Leninist/Stalinist tactics, incidentally, not to drag history into this -- and if we're very fortunate "Rush" will do the same, here.

No trend lasts forever.

The economy will stay in rough shape for the next two years. The Republicans will gain seats in the 2010 mid-term elections. Balance will be restored.
Does anybody know how many Senate seats each party has up for grabs in 2010?

Scott Dolan · February-17th-2009, 09:22 PM

Aren't you supposed to be the math guy around here?

There are elections every two years. Roughly a third of the 100 Senate seats are up each election cycle. duh.

Good lord...

Matthews is truly one of the most insufferable dumbasses in the history of dumbassery.

"Doesn't he want to blow up the world?"

"If there were no republicans on the planet right now..."

*sigh*

Limbarf, er- baugh in the news today [ABC Nightly News] wants Obama to fail.

He further equates Obama's policies with destroying America. Hm. After only five weeks in office? Wow. A pretty neat trick, huh.

He does not, however, offer any solutions. None. Figures.

All blowhard, no substance. Typical Limbarf, er-baugh.

No mention of the multi-trillion dollar deficit the republican'ts created, of course. We can't have any of that pesky truth stuff now, can we.

What a shock

And the republican dipshits of this country wonder why they aren't in control.

Enter stage WAY right, the completely clueless and rampantly negative Congress Minority Whip John Boehner to run off at the mouth about how nothing works and the Democratic President sucks.

The republican'ts got nothing. Just the same old tired and baseless attacks, hyper-conservative platitudes and meaningless put-downs.

No solutions.

Such bullshit.

Tell me I'm wrong, Gordon.

Looks like El Fatbo has been hitting the buffet again.

rollhead · March-3rd-2009, 12:11 AM

He was looking svelte there for a time. Now, he has bulked back up.

Scott Dolan · March-3rd-2009, 12:44 AM

I thought he looked a bit bizarre when he was thin, but if that pic is really what he looks like now...oy.

I realize that's not really nice to say, but that professionally divisive piece of shit deserves whatever's coming.

Scott Dolan · March-3rd-2009, 12:53 AM

As though us Royals fans don't have enough to hang our head in shame about...

Here's the speech in it's entirety for anyone needing a good round of projectile vomiting.

And to think this is the same cocksucking piece of shit who drummed up the whole "Obama is a rock star" horseshit:

Appropriately enough, Rush and his equally looney neo-con brother, David, came from the "bootheel" of Missouri. A little hilljack shithole named Cape Girardeau.

Goddamned French...

In his and many other critics from both sides of the spectrum , who have a following it's so easy for them to say when it suits them that they are not politicians , they are according to them just journalists. He and them are neither , they are the Elmer Gentry's of a new age.

I wouldn't expect him to give up his pay check in order to serve the country he so claims to love , but I'd love to know who these yahoos are who get up and actually believe this crap. He's as close to the real people of this country as the guy who sold and made a huge profit selling pet rocks. Actually the guy who sold the rocks had more to add then this pile of rambling puss.

If there is a dumbing down in America , he's one of the leaders. Well paid and that's just perfect.

Not being one to judge someone's weaknesses , but fuck this junkie piece of shit.

Root Doctor · March-3rd-2009, 08:25 AM

More bowing and scraping before Mr. Man Boobs. The hits just keep on comin'.

Ron Thorne · March-3rd-2009, 09:21 AM

Rush has outdone himself this time with his self-congratulatory, back-slapping, ego-maniacal crap ... beginning his speech as if a prize fighter conducting a press conference. Please.

Limbaugh was very hyper during this address, mocking Obama among other things... but also possibly revealing something which has reappeared, mostly undetected — rubbing his nose repeatedly. Hmmmmm.

Please note at various times during his "1st ever address to the nation" that he "goes to his nose" at least 10 times!The first time was at about 4:10 on (part 1) of this YouTube video. Keep watching because it doesn't take long before he goes to his nose again and again ... but no handkerchief or tissue. Hmmmmm.

Keep watching ... unless you suddenly feel the urge to hurl.

What a piece o' garbage.

Meet the new boss.
Same as the old boss.

Don't get fooled again.

Rush Limbaugh Dined For Your Sins:

....In his appearance this past Saturday at CPAC (motto: "Pretending this matters since 1973"), Limbaugh was at his most pathetic, attention-whoring in a way that'd make actual whores say, "You don't need to actually show your snatch to get customers." One could go through the speech line by line and demonstrate every contradiction, every historical fucktardery, every just plain wrong idea or "fact," but none of us has that much time (however, see examples in the notes below). We could spend our time talking about what the fuck CNN was thinking in airing the entire speech live.

Instead, let's just say this: Rush Limbaugh (and Sean Hannity and every other conservative bag of shit that's piled up on the curbs of our nation) is fucking thrilled that Barack Obama is President. He is not a politician. He is only beholden to corporations. He is merely an ephemeral presence. He exists only as long as his ratings stay high. And Obama's win is a goddamned gift because he and his legions of taint-licking, deluded, chanting drones can work themselves into some kind of froth about every goddamn thing that Democrats do for the next 2, 4, or 8 years. He just got a new lease on life, motherfuckers, and that's like another legal scrip for oxycontin. Pure fuckin' bliss, man.

If the face the Republicans want for its future is this, this sweaty self-aggrandizer, this fat fuck, this demonstrable embodiment of the seven deadly sins, he who is everything that we should hate about capitalism and, indeed, the indulgences of this nation, Diamond Jim Brady without the class, this proud rube who spouts lies and hatred, then bring it, bitches. Like so many on the right, Limbaugh is using the same goddamn lines he's been using for years. He has no idea what he's up against this time. The vast majority of the nation has moved on from the sad plump man in his tiny room.

Notes:
Contradiction: Limbaugh said that liberals were "afraid of offending" Joseph Stalin, and then he criticized Joe Biden for the then-candidate saying that 7-11 employees were Indian, explaining that if conservatives said something so outrageous, they'd be excoriated. Apparently, aligning the left with a mass murderer is not outrageous.

Historical fucktardery: Limbaugh talked about how the New Deal and the Great Society programs wrecked this country when previously he wondered "How did the United States of America become the world's lone super power, the world's economic engine, the most prosperous opportunity for an advanced lifestyle that humanity has ever known?" (China would probably like to dispute at least two of those notions.) Since that has only happened, truly, since the 1940s, one might like to think that the very things that Limbaugh criticizes didn't exactly hinder the country.

Just plain wrong: Limbaugh said, "We believe that the Preamble of the Constitution contains an inarguable truth, that we are all endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights -- among them life, liberty, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness." Does this even need to be explained?
