Limbaugh knows who to blame for Sanford's affair: Obama

Everyone knows the only way to deal with the stress of impending socialist doom is to see your Argentine girlfriend

The letters thread is now closed.

It could have been worse

Sanford could have gone the way of other depressed right-wingers and killed someone.

I guess Limbaugh thinks Sanford is a lover not a fighter.

Friday, June 26, 2009 09:03 AM

Well...

Well, Obama did have Michael Jackson offed, don't you know.

Friday, June 26, 2009 09:05 AM

OMG!

He is diving into Limbaugh's panties now!

Oh the HUGE MANATEE!

What wonders will he find in the depths of Limbaugh's nether regions? Perhaps another months worth of sub tabloid spew!

Oh Happy Day for this Brave and Heroic Panty Journalist!

Joan, give him a raise, and then please hose him down, because

Friday, June 26, 2009 09:06 AM

Try again Limpy

Sanford's affair began over a year ago.

Friday, June 26, 2009 09:07 AM

Obama's coming! Batten down the hatches and order tickets for Argentina!

Sanford, unlike the rest of us, just knew that Obama was going to be elected. He thought he'd get ahead of the rush (sic!) out the door and start his affair early, since he knew that things were going to go to hell in a handbasket, and he might as well start to feel "better" before he felt worse...or something like that. Especially because he could continue to carry his self-righteousness with him all the way to the airport.

Rush, baby, you have the logic of a goddam genius!

Friday, June 26, 2009 09:09 AM

Hmmm ... bit of a contradiction ...

So, I guess what he's saying is, when it comes to republicans cheating on their wives, it's because the weight of their office is just too great and they need some sort of release. But when it comes to democrats cheating on their wives (ala, his slam against Elizabeth Edwards a few months ago), well, it's because said democratic wives are talkie nags and don't spend enough time on their knees giving their husbands blow jobs ... klassy!

Remember when conservatism was all about 'personal responsibility'?

It was the reason why Clinton HAD to be impeached; and the reason why those who was poor, sick, living in the ghetto, or in any other kind of trouble were fully to blame for their plights -- and therefore, deserving of no aid from the government (or sympathy from anyone else).

But now, no conservative is even remotely to blame for anything he (or she, if it's Sarah Palin) says or does. It's all the liberals/Obama's fault -- whether you're committing adultery, or even murder...

Putz

I still recall when this corpulent gasbag got nabbed with the Viagra after indulging in a little Central American sex tourism a few years ago. The financial desperation forcing some poor woman to crawl out from under this greasy windtunnel must be horrid indeed.

Friday, June 26, 2009 09:12 AM

It's all so clear!

Obama's presidency is clearly to blame! Sanford started the affair over a year ago with someone he's known throughout the Bush years, but Rush correctly surmises that this is, in fact, Obama's fault. You see, Sanford is such a visionary that he saw this horrible time in American coming and decided to opt out early.

What had no plausible explanation (midlife crisis? hypocracy? wigga, please!) makes perfect sense now...Thanks, Rush!

Friday, June 26, 2009 09:13 AM

I guess that confirms it

He's definitely back on the Oxycontin.

Friday, June 26, 2009 09:14 AM

Obama's enough to drive a man to drink...

... or drugs. Anyone got a script for Oxycontin?

Friday, June 26, 2009 09:17 AM

Viagra High

The Rushboy Limpbog knows something about rushing off to a viagra fueled few days in a foreign country; viz., his sex romp vacation in the Dominican Republic fueled by viagra, which he obtained illegally and in violation of his oxycontin based probation.

The FDA should crack down on prescribing Viagra to the middle aged political class with the following warning in their ads(aired after 10:00 p.m., please): ...If you experience an erection that lasts more than four hours, or get the urge to fly off to a foreign country for illicit sex, then call your doctor.

Friday, June 26, 2009 09:21 AM

This is the problem with Republicans:

lack of personal responsiblity. They need to woman up.

Friday, June 26, 2009 09:22 AM

As opposed...

...to going up women.

Friday, June 26, 2009 09:23 AM

Dear Rush,

You are so right. The country is going to hell in a handbasket and Obama is turning us all into socialists. Now is the time for you to say "oh what the hell" and chuck it all to enjoy your remaining years. Why not disappear to some "exotic" place where you can indulge your addiction to drugs and cheap kinky sex. Only, unlike Gov. Sanford, please do not come back. Ever. Buh-bye, now.

Friday, June 26, 2009 09:33 AM

Filter, El Rushbo, Filter....

Sometimes the first thing that comes into your mind is ... um..... STUPID!!

Friday, June 26, 2009 09:38 AM

Wow...

He doesn't even try to appear rational anymore, does he?

One of America's great writers of fiction

This just shows, once again, what a great writer of fiction that Rush Limbaugh is. The radio show is just research for the Great American Novel that Limbaugh is writing.

Friday, June 26, 2009 09:42 AM

Let's don't be hasty . . .

Let's not be so dismissive here, ffolk. In this golden age of revisionist history ("George Bush, white courtesy telephone . . ."), this reasoning offers an opportunity.

If I have my logic (HAH!) right, this argument means that Newt Gingrich and the Contract on America were responsible for the Monica Lewinski disaster.

I'll bet even Buddy Bill never thought of trying that!

Friday, June 26, 2009 09:46 AM

Wait, what?

No, really.

What?!

Friday, June 26, 2009 09:54 AM

I was in my car when I heard the gasbag...

... and I was wondering, "Isn't someone on his staff going to tell him that the affair started when Geo. W. Bush was president?"

Truth be damned.

Glen Beck -> Limbaugh

Is it just me, or is that convoluted 'logic' more something we normally expected out that schizophrenic Glen Beck than out of el RushBo?

I thought Rush's schtick was predicting hell because the liberal media is all made up of fascist, socialist, racist homosexuals?

Next week, Rush mimics Sean Hannity by citing studies that were never done that support his opponent, and claiming it supports him instead.

Friday, June 26, 2009 09:59 AM

THANKS FOR CLEARING THAT UP, RUSH

Now you can return to your oxycontin/viagra fueled hate-fest with the satisfaction of having advanced another well thought out mindless neocon rant.

Sanford

Sanford: "They're making me take stimulus money! That's it. Fuck it. I can't take it anymore; what's the point? I'm just trying to protect the sanctity of marriage between one man and one woman, and this is the thanks I get? The hell with it; the hell with you all. You want stimulus money? I got your "stimulus" right here? I'm gonna use that money to buy a ticket to Argentina to see my girlfriend, where, I assure you, I'll be stimulating my brains out. How do you like them apples, America haters?"

Friday, June 26, 2009 10:00 AM

Rush should know,

He deals with his depression of not being president of the United States by hopping on a plane with a bag full of Viagra and buggering little boys in foreign sex resorts catering to rich foreigners before returning to Florida to spew more hate and filth over the landscape.

All in a day's work for the Rusbo.
