Limbaugh Blames Sanford's Affair on Obama

formerroadie · 06-25-09, 10:12 PM

Ok now, Rush is really really stretching it. No, it's broke. No more stretching. He's doing the "devil made me do it" route. While he condemns Sanford's behavior, he just can't help himself by going on a side rant about how the stimulus package and therefore Obama are at fault. Amazing. Is the right really in this bad of a meltdown?

Limbaugh Blames Sanford's Affair On Obama, Because Why Not?

For those of you who are about to scream about the link being to a blog, I could not lift the link to the Limbaugh recording. It is on the page. Go listen even if you don't want to read the blog.

How do you read this:

Quote:

LIMBAUGH: This Sanford business! I'll tell you, one of the first thoughts that crossed my mind, with Mark Sanford ... this is the first thought: What he did defies logic. This is ... more than being 180 degrees out of phase because of lust, or love. To split the scene for five days, and we know he's been separated, and he knows, by the way, that the newspaper in his state has the emails between him and his concubine down there in Argentina, he knows this. He knows that somebody knows what's going on. He knows his wife knows. So he ups and leaves for five days, doesn't leave anybody in charge of the state, in case there's an emergency.

...

LIMBAUGH: This is almost like: I don't give a damn! Country's going to hell in a handbasket. I just want out of here!

...

LIMBAUGH: He had just tried to fight the stimulus money coming to South Carolina. He didn't want any part of it. He lost the battle and said "What the hell? The Federal government is taking over! I want to enjoy life!"

and conclude that Limbaugh is saying it's Obama's fault?

This huffpost writer is a moron.

What do you expect from Limbaugh....who rationalizes his own behavior in the name of his hypocrisy.....but then again...he IS the spokesman for the GOP.

I don't recall reading anything about Democrats in those quotes that RightInNYC made.

As you point out, that would require me to listen to the whole clip. I can read transcripts, but listening to several minutes of this is beyond me.

It was short. I intended to skip around it, but it was only like 2.5 minutes, so I sat through it. At first I expected you to be right, but he went on past the transcribed part.

I actually took the time to listen to the whole piece and it made quite a bit of sense in a way.

Sandford got his ass kicked in the battle to avoid stealing the money of the citizenry and committed political suicide in a fit of frustration. Not exactly the picture of grace under pressure. Buh-bye..Good luck. The blame is solely at his own feet though.

Is not the huffington sending toadies to press conferences now asking administration coordinated questions now anyway? They have no legs for anything worth listening to.
