Druggie Son

Where else but the left can you go from the worthless son of a crystal meth dealer to the most honorable prince of the day ? >>>>>>>

Let's ask Uncle Rush that one. Funny how he was a fine young man until he dumped Bristol.

Did I Miss Something?

I don't pay much attention to Limbaugh, so perhaps I'm in the dark about something. Has he been diagnosed with some medical condition that is likely to result in kidney failure? If so, yeah that particular joke wouldn't be funny. In the absence of any such diagnosis, guffaw away!

More security!

Bump up the number of Secret Service agents around Pelosi and Reid (if it hasn't already been done). I'm sure conservatives will understand the need for the added expense and that they wouldn't want some fanatical right wing "patriot" to do a Tim McVeigh on them...

"Liberals, who are now in power in Washington, hate America and want to dismantle its foundational institutions and liberties, including capitalism"

This is correct, this is how they feel. >>

And what is your source for this font of knowledge?

Expert on Women

A man with 3 ex-wives, who popularized the term "feminazi" as a perjorative against those who didn't want to date him, is obviously an expert on women.

Quackadoo : My new favorite word

"Many people write Suzanne off as a quackadoo," she declared. "But she just might be a pioneer."

Or maybe she IS a quackadoo. She, like Oprah, appeals to women of a certain demographic. Which seems weird because I am probably part of that demographic and yet have not watched her whinefest in probably the last 10 years.

We live in a culture that seeks quick fixes. The medical establishment may not be working for many people and they want to believe that something, anything, will fix them. People have been putting their faith in quacks and faith healers for a long time. That people will suddenly begin to research the answers to question on their own, or question what they are told regardless of the source, or that they will stop giving bogus medical advice when they are not remotely qualified to do so, is unrealistic.

When I Was Pregnant

...with my first son, who was born in 1981, I met up with some people who tried to tell me that 1) I was affected by birth trauma and 2) my baby needed to be born via water and not circumcised, and that I needed to eat a vegatarian diet to ensure that my baby would be healthy.

Guess what? My baby is now 27, has CA certification as a personal trainer and is working on federal. He was born at the Portland Kaiser facility

I was doped up (LOL, I still remember my uninvited Mom in the room and the nurse saying "get her out of her,"). He is not a vegatarian although he does refuse pork.

godammit, why isn't demerol available to the public?

Was that her bogus Size 10 weight?

Fast forward to a few years ago. Oprah appeared fit, and healthy, and a normal weight.

How hard was it for her to be that? What chemicals did she take that shje failed to advertise?

How often has she been the same since then?

What putdowns are PC these days?

If it's okay now to mock males for being "angry," can we also mock women for being "hysterical" and blacks "lazy" and gays "foofish"? What putdowns are PC these days?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Do you really need some?

Meh

Whores, politicians, Fox media "personalities"...aren't they all pretty much the same thing? Who thinks these people are credible except the equally looney constituency they pander to? Go ahead GOP, marginalize yourselves right out of existence and relevancy.

Original article: Rush Limbaugh's new low

re: Rush just says what all Republicans think

But they only think what Rush says because Rush says. Why do you think they call them "dittoheads?"

Monday, June 22, 2009 06:29 PM

The GOP can't make up its mind (such as it is)

deranged neocons and Republican opportunists demanding Obama do more.

This is the same GOP who was outraged during the campaign that Obama said it was necessary to talk to Iran? How the worm has turned...

Con in Training

The tenor of the Fox attacks grew more feverish with the ranting of Brian Kilmeade, who judged Franken "barely sane if you read his books, and quite angry in every facet of his life." Kilmeade went on to describe the new senator as "hateful," "evil," bitter," and "maniacal," and again as "angry." Sean Hannity echoed Fox's other amateur shrinks, saying, "This guy, Franken, he's not all there."

So after he develops these traits a little more, he may be qualified to be a republicon.

@ Noah Vale

You used the word "want's" in your post. There is absolutely no condition in the english language that calls for using an apostrophe S after a verb, since it is employed either to indicate ownership (that which belongs to want?) or to form a contraction between a noun and the second- or third-person singular form of the verb "to be" (want is?). While I often see the misuse of apostrophe S to attempt to indicate the plural form of a noun, I have to confess that I've never seen it misused in the original and creative fashion you demonstrated in your post. And though I have no way of knowing if you are big and fat, you have indeed shown yourself to be an idiot. U think u gots game? Bring it on, beeyotch! Maybe you shouldn't have quit drinking, then you'd have an excuse. What a douche.>>>>>>

Dude. "English" should be capitalized.
