The great Limbaugh battle

The radio host comes under fire from two big names in American politics: Powell and Reagan.

The letters thread is now closed.

Blubbiness!

One of the most apt adjectives hurled at that heap of impotent hatred that I've ever heard.

Is this the SAME Ron Reagan...

...I heard on Air America saying how if somebody attacks a pedophile simply because he's a pedophile, that is and should be a hate crime? Just want to make sure....

How does Ron Reagan know what an erection is?

Has he read about them?

Wednesday, May 20, 2009 10:16 AM

Hmmmm,

Exactly how does Mr. Reagan know that Mr. Limbaugh is incapapble of a "natural erection" and just why the hell is Salon writing about it?

Are there any Salon readers WHAWTSOEVER who have any interest or concern about the functionality and turgidity of Mr. Limbaugh's parts?

Is there some other blog somehwere that focuses upon this delicate and politicallly sensitve subject? PErhpas those interested in this subject might be pleased to find a link where theyt may comensurate with their fellow scholars of Limbaugh's Libido.

And would not Larry Flynt be a far more appropriate journalist to cover this steamy subject? That would add a lot of class to the proceedings, maybe.

@Stinky

I know you boys on the right hate it when Limpdick is taken down a notch or two, but it is very clear to me that you missed the point Ron Raygun was making.

finally ...

... a Ronald Reagan who makes sense!

Colin Powell - "I may be out of their version of the Republican Party, but there's another version of the Republican Party waiting to emerge once again."

Well, then, EMERGE already!

Take a stand on some issues! Say what you are for, and what you are against! Do something! Don't just be a professional "respected figure." Powell is as boring as David Gergen. I don't know why anybody should listen to either one of them.

There is a reason why I am a Republican who has respect for John McCain, but not for Powell: McCain makes decisions. He takes sides. He votes, and ultimately says 'yes' or 'no', which is sort of what you have to do, if you are in Congress or the White House. I don't always agree with McCain, but he is a much bigger and better man than Powell. If you are at the State Department, like Powell was, I guess that all you have to do is negotiate, wait for further developments, go to receptions, and make announcements in a serious tone of voice and a stern look on your face.

McCain makes decisions. He takes sides. He votes, and ultimately says 'yes' or 'no',

And then you can wait a little while and he will change to the exact opposite position. Heh.

Does Limbo Wear A Bro?

For his man boobs?

No doubt Ronnie Jr. has read about erections. And you? Did you learn about them in a bathroom stall next to Larry Craig? Or in a broom closet while a page for Mark Foley? In Costa Rica quaffing Viagra with Rushbo? In a three-way with David Vittner? At the dog pound with Rick Santorum? Covering a story with Jeff Gannon? In the choir with Ted Haggard?

Here's a question for the Salon faithful: Do any of you care about what it might take to bring Joe Lieberman back to your party?

Because Joe Lieberman is more important and more moderate than Ron Reagan.

I suppose, a bigger question might be why should I care what Ron Reagan says about the Republican Party? I don't care what Katrina van den Heuvel or Amy Goodman think about the Republican Party. Does the left care about what Michael Reagan thinks about the Democrat Party? I expect not.

Wednesday, May 20, 2009 10:39 AM

I've always liked Ron Reagan

While his Dad was in the White House, you knew he disagreed with many of his policies, but it was also obvious that he loved his Dad very much. He handled the situation with total class. I've always admired him for that.

As for Ron's comments about Limbaugh: Ordnarily I'm uncomfortable when someone attacks another's appearance or sexuality, but I make exceptions for people like Rush. He deserves whatever negativity comes his way.

Wednesday, May 20, 2009 10:39 AM

Republicans Missing the point.

I'm shocked.

All I can say is " Go, Ron!"

The big pile of blubbiness needs to be taken down a peg or to. He has for too long presided without recrimination regarding his usual inflammatory rhetoric and hyperbole. I hope this is only the beginning. I see that he's started targeting MSNBC - a sign that perhaps their slings and arrows are actually starting to sting a bit. good. He is a perfect example of everything that's wrong with our modern political theatre, complete bullshit hiding beneath the first amendment as soon as someone criticizes the fat boy. He's just an entertainer don't ya' know...

Wednesday, May 20, 2009 10:41 AM

This is what Limbaugh sounds like

C'mon folks, let's all put our irony caps on.

Reagan is demonstrating what LIMBAUGH calls another day of talkin' politics. Remember the ankle grabbin' thing? Michael Fox's "phony" trembling? If Limbaugh were after a liberal Limbaugh, this is what it would sound like.

Despicable? Well of course it is.

Glass Houses That Hypocrits Live In

Frankly, the very concept of Rush Limbaugh criticizing a woman's looks - or anyone's looks, for that matter - is ludicrous.

However, that won't stop him from squealing "Unfair!" when someone maligns his appearance. These days, being a winger means you're on whichever side of the issue that looks as if it's winning, on a minute-by-minute basis.

Limbaugh has "tiny dick" written all over him

Whether natural or viagra fueled there's no question he's got nothing down there. Little Dick Syndrom, he's a classic case. The bluster, the weird pomp and preening...three inch dick, you can bet on it.

Time out! Time for an experiment!

Here we have a couple of Salon's finest at work:
