Rush Limbaugh is still a big fat idiot

And so are his Fox News pals, who lambasted Sen. Al Franken's "stolen election"

The letters thread is now closed.

Franken

there is nothing smart or intelligent about being able to call people names, it usually means you can't think of a more intelligent words to use.

The only whiners here are the libs and I see they are out in full force.

Boo to Franken - he really is no uneducated. He should maybe get a job at the Huffington Post with the other nerds

2009 - 1776 = 233

233 years is as long as a country can last. It will be impossible to live with the right-wing cuckoos any longer. This country will come apart; Americans will migrate; we will be riven by accents.

The USA will spend the next 75 years redistricting. Several countries will emerge. I pledge alleigence to the Great Lakes. I hope we we have a buffer state between us and the NeoConfederacy.

@cabdriver a page or two back

T think the word fat modifies "Idiot" not "Rush Limbaugh". I could be wrong. Look it up in Your Strunk and White.

Calm down, people.

Franken wrote books that attacked the very people that are attacking him. There isn't any reason for them not attack him, as he is a public figure with a long paper trail. Al can handle it.

HEADLINE - FYI

Just in case anyone out there missed it:

WE WON, IN MINNESOTTA

WE WON, IN A-M-E-R-I-C-A

Get over yourselves & get a life. Is that really too much for you to fathom?

But ------- really ------- have a nice day!

@brerbirch

could be.

Semantic wrangling is bad enough, although I've been known to be game for it.

Anyone who's looking for syntactic wrangling out of me, forget about it. Not this time.

Happy 4th of July, everyone.

21st century Will Rogers

I predict that in the coming years we will see Senator Franken as a 21st century Will Rogers and a beloved Senator indeed.

@jmbeldin

What does this mean?

--Boo to Franken - he really is no uneducated.

"He is no uneducated." It sounds as if it means he is not uneducated. That is a compliment to Franken, unless one is a Palin supporter, in which case I suppose calling someone uneducated is praise.

comps

Al Franken isn't one iota more ridiculous than Reagan or W. The latter, well where does one start, the former lifetime shill for the mob, rapist, lucky more than anything in office.

How much do you weigh?

how much does Rush weigh?

It takes an idiot to write articles about another idiot.

I don't expect you will understand that one, eh?

@ McGee

Since Franken is going to do exactly what Harry Ried tells him to do his Senate value would have been about 2 cents X 239 days which comes to $4.78.

Bill me.

A little bit of difference.....

So, the coveted 60th Democrat Senator clowns around in diapers.....

..... nothing illustrates the American political scene these days any better than that!

I have a feeling that the diapered one plus the Control-Freak-in-Chief will usher in a conservative/Republican resurgence.

Hey, Dimbulb, the article was about Al Franken, not David Vitter.

Besides, Al just used the diaper for a prop, to entertain other people. Unlike Vitter, he didn't shit in it to entertain himself.

And I do everything I can to remind people of what sick ass perverts the Republicans are every chance I get, when they don't beat me to it. I find it hilarious that Al is from MN, where Larry Craig got outed. Family values, anyone ? And you expect a resurgence from these clowns ?

Happy Birthday America! What a wonderful gift.

W’s presidency at the zenith of the neo-con right wing craze led by the likes of Limbaugh, Hannity, Colter, Savage etc., caught most moderate liberal people way off guard. The big lie about the liberal media (which had never been challenged by the media), the ascendancy of a pure propaganda machine at FOX with their shrill and incessant delivery of pro war and anti middle class policies, coupled by the silence or complacent support from the other main news media; seemed like they had the nation’s perception of public opinion pretty much locked up.

The Democratic Party’s cowardly ruling elite were still reeling from Ronald Reagan’s folksy delivery and no one, absolutely no one stood up to the crazed pseudo-patriotism that produced “freedom fries” in the congressional dining room and a river of French wine in the streets; as the nation was goaded into a hateful frenzy against one of our most stalwart allies. Extreme right wing misinformation, slander, and outright lies were bandied about unchallenged – it was a sad state of affairs indeed.

During these dark days, Al’s books were bright shining beacons of truth; clothed in a comedic delivery they were neither insulting nor slanderous like Colter’s or her ilk – they well written, factual, documented, well researched – in fact they were plain ol’ truth; and it caused the culprits a lot of pain. These works were the foundation of a new call to action that has produced change in Congress and the White House – progress that is incipient and will be hard fought by FOX and friends on a 24/7 schedule.

Paul Wellstone must be rejoicing wherever he is; I know his children are. The nation can look forward to a long effective public career by an extremely bright man who happens to be at the right place and at the right time. We desperately need men and women like Al Franken if we hope to get the Nation back on a path to progress and wealth. Congratulations America! This is a wonderful birthday gift.

LMAO @ jmbeldin

simply look at these two statements by this jackass:

"there is nothing smart or intelligent about being able to call people names, it usually means you can't think of a more intelligent words [sic] to use."

and

"he really is no uneducated. He should maybe get a job at the Huffington Post with the other nerds"

Apparently jmbeldin "can't think of a more intelligent words [sic] to use"

Jimmy, you really take irony to a new level. Even better, you somehow manage to make Palin look smart, and that's no easy feat. What a maroon.
