“I think I’m going to send Sotomayor and her club a bunch of vacuum cleaners to help them clean up after their meetings,” Limbaugh sneered.


Mark Silva, blogging at The Swamp, was quick to catch the sexist and racist implications in Limbaugh’s remark. “Leave it to Rush Limbaugh, the golden voice of radio, to liken the president’s nominee for the Supreme Court and her professional friends to a bunch of housemaids,” he commented.

Jeez, political correctness run amok, and the same people bashing Limbaugh are the ones who referred to Harriet Meiers as Bush's cleaning lady when she was up for nomination to SCOTUS.

Look, folks. I thought the Bush cleaning lady joke was funny, and guess what? I think this is funny too. I have no axe to grind here. I think Limbaugh is a pompous gas bag who isn't worth the bandwidth he uses. But lighten up here, people. This was funny. When you let political correctness stand in the way of having a good laugh at someone else's expense, then you will most likely die before your time from either exploding head syndrome or terminal hypocrisy.

I want to hear Rush debate Sotomayor on any legal argument of his choosing.....then we will find out who needs a vacuum cleaner, and I am betting it will be the gas bag...

Why-o-why is anyone giving Rush the time of day?
 
If people gave me this much attention and ratings every time I said something outrageous, you can bet your ass I'd be saying as many outrageous things as possible as often as possible. Outrage and sensationalism is Limbaugh's bread and butter.

Geez, speaking of political correctness run amok, since when are the rest of us supposed to find Rush's remarks funny, just because you do?

I've never been fond of "humor" that comes with a mean streak or less than subtle insults, which seems to be Rush's stock in trade (at least when he's running off at the mouth about anyone to the left of Attila the Hun).
 
well you know, Rush as a white man, can not be as sensative as a latino woman from the bronx, right. :lol:

The way I see it Limbaugh or The Drug Addict as I know him as is known for making sexist, racist, and cruel and stupid rermarks about people with debilitating and life threatening medical conditions so what is the big surprise here ?

The diference between el Drugo and a true humorous entertainer is that el Drugo spouts out humor only against his political opponents.


So he is funny at times but speaking of vacuums he usually sucks.
 
Why-o-why is anyone giving Rush the time of day?

That's been my question for YEARS. Everyone knows that he has the depth of a convex eye lense and the sincerity of crocodile tears.

Why? Why even acknowledge the stupidity anymore?
 
Limbawl really needs to give Sotomayor a public apology..
 
Your all caring about what Limbaugh because the Huffington Report, Begalis, Greenberg, and "snake head" Carville told you to be.


You might notice its such a "news story" that the source is a blog..but hey so is the source of the manufactured caring.

No, I've pretty much despised Limbaugh for years. Thanks for sharing though.

:doh

Do you realize how long a post would have to be to cover every possibility?

Its a generalist comment that holds true for 9 out of 10 people who post about Limbaugh.

I haven't listened to Limbaugh unless in passing since 1994-5 or so. I'm posting in this thread. I'm highlighting why its here. I'm not included in what I said either.

Interesting point.

When is the Flaming Left cadre of late night so-called comics going to start using The Messiah for their material?

I know! He eats up the attention. It gives him importance. They are only helping him. Can't they see it?
 
This seems right on target for Rush. I'm not sure what anyone is expecting him to do.

Such a debate would legitimize Rush, just like polling his approval rating does, so yeah, go for it. Rush wins either way.

It would further undermine republican credibility though, so that works for me. Rush is the best thing to happen for democrats. Steele is a close second though.

You're not speaking with a person who gives a rat's ass about the GOP, so it's all good.

I think Steele comes in first. At the end of the day, if you throw Rush in my face, I'm going to ask you what seat does he hold within the GOP. And your truthful answer will have to be "none". And there's your relevance.

Michael Steele is a douche with a platform, authority, and granted credibility by the party to speak for us. He's the problem child right now.

You misunderstand, or I was not clear. I think Rush is bad publicity for the GOP. There are those who worship him, those who hate him, and those in the middle. When those in the middle see him making a fool of himself, it does good for us democrats. Those on either end already have their minds made up, so no change there.
