What else do ya gotta know -- he's a closeted homosexual, a pedophile predator, and a hypocrite of the first water.

Rush gets detained for re-entering the U.S. with a bottle of Viagra after a two-day 'jaunt' to the Dominican Republic with 4 'buddies'. He is released because his name isn't on the prescription. This after his arrest for abusing OxyContin and hydrocodone and being involved in illict blackmarket operation. A bad year for Rush, especially after he was fired for racist remarks.

A report about the child prostitution, poverty, and the rich white predator males who go there to be serviced. Why Rush was there with four male buddies and a jumbo-sized bottle of Viagra is all wink-wink, nudge-nudge -- especially in light of how Rush feels about Third World countries and little brown people.

Rush's checkered and colored past, and his failure to cover it up adequately. And what's with the camno-wives. Three of 'em? Sheesh, Rush, Rudi and Newt. I guess wealth has it's perks . . .

And what's with fat white balding rightwingers and their cigars? Fidel looks good.

Rush? George Carlin weighs in:

"Haven't we had enough of this cigar-smoking shit in this country? When are these fat, arrogant, overpaid, overfed, overpampered, overpriviledged, overindulged business criminal asshole cocksuckers going to put out their cigars and move along to their next abomination? White, pussy businessmen sucking on a big, brown dick. That's all it is. That's all it ever was. A big, brown dick. Freud said sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Oh, yeah? Well sometimes it's a big, brown dick with a white collar business criminal asshole sucking on the wet end of it. But the news isn't all bad for me, you know the good part? Cancer of the mouth. Good, fuck 'em. It's an attractive disease, it goes good with a cell phone. So light up, suspender man, and suck that smoke deep down into your empty suit and blow it out your asshole, you fucking cocksucker!"

And we'll leave the final word to someone of whom knows of what he speaks:

"Rush is a great American. I am confident he can overcome any obstacles he faces right now,” George W. Bush was quoted in the Washington Post as telling his staff the other day after Limbaugh’s racist comments on ESPN and the first revelations that Rush was an illegal drug user.

I don't think "troll" is the best label we can hang on this sad little guy. Yes, he's very active on these boards, inflicting his rapier-like jabs of wit (a giant-killer in his own mind) on we 'Salonistas' (Jaysus, spare me -- that is up there with 'libturd' when you come to lame). I think it's a bit of the masochist syndrome -- he comes here to get his abuse, than -- 'poof' -- vanishes when push comes to shove. I think he likes the rough stuff, but only as far as he can control it . . .

can't wait for his next sparkling comeback. Not.

"Once Iokannen shows up . . . and insists on either namecalling or scolding like he/she is a parent then I'm done. Sorry, but that's just censorship by another name. Which of course was the point. TTFN. Enjoy, Salon, tell me how the war goes 8am tomorrow, thanks."

I wish you would stay 'done' -- but nope, you continue posting. Show show spine, blowhard, or is the pain (pleasure) of withdrawal from being an asshat too strong???

It'll be the same old, same old. Steal the land, steal some more. Push the Palestinians into ever smaller ghettoes. Steal their livelihoods. Steal their health. Steal their dignity. If they resist, jail 'em or better yet, exterminate 'em. And all the while, play the victim. Hell, the Israelis have all the time in the world, and nobody's holding their feet to the fire. Terrorize the Palestinians long enough, just keep grinding 'em down, eventually they'll just disappear. Problem solved.

. . . . I guess that passes as RealDeal's heavy sense of sarcasm (Annie 'The Stick' Coulter comes to mind) while he sallies through Salonistan, sticking it to the resident Salonistas and Saloniks (Jaysus spare us) with his pithy and witty barbs. Sorry, RealDeal, you ain't even invited to the party, so I guess you can't be the brightest boy here. Not that you are, anyway . . .

<<Why Anonymous Sources? Is Blumenthal a coward? Which is more important, refusing anonymity to a source to set the historical record straight, letting the chips fall where they may, or enabling an Administration hell bent on destroying the Constitution?>>

<<Nope, he gives the source anonymity.>>

<<Thank you, Sidney, for doing your little part to keep this tragedy going full steam ahead. Mr. Bush probably has a Medal of Freedom around somewhere for you. I wish you had more character.>>

Wow, a royal reaming of Mr. Blumenthal. Accusations of cowardice, lack of character, even suggestions that he may in the same league as L. Paul Bremer, Tommy Franks, and George 'Slam Dunk' Tenet. And at the bottom, the author signs him/herself, "Anonymous"

If the large corporations and rich guys want to have a force to protect their stuff, to open new markets for them, and to ensure they have cheap raw resources, they should pay out of their profits. Why should the entire population pay under the guise of defending freedoms, spreading democracy, etc?? Cut back the military, cut off all the huge contracts, cut off all the pork, put the personnel into the private sector, and heck, you'd be able to have a great free medical system.

Then you'd be wrong if you said most Americans were damn fools. Forty-one percent? Jaysus, I think it must be the diet . . . .
