Rush Limbaugh Quote of the Day 7/2 - Al Franken/Iran/November 08

Rush:

"Look at this. From Iran's press television, the state-run media in Iran: Ahmadinejad gains votes in recount, just like in our country! It had -- just like in our country. Norm Coleman wins in Minnesota in a recount, and they keep having recounts, and Al Franken wins. So they had the recount in Iran, and shazzam! Ahmadinejad gained votes!"
And shazzam! Add Minnesota to the axis of evil folks. Damn that Al Frankenidad and Ayatollah Pawlenty.

Al Franken will make an interesting Senator. No, I don't think there was any wrong-doing in the Minnesota election. Yes, I do think there was mass voter fraud in Iran. Why? Maybe because 50 or so cities had more votes cast than eligible voters. That is a start. Did Ahmadinejad actually lose? No idea. Will he be removed from office? No.

Franken's win finally concludes the last of the November 2008 elections. The day before the elections, November 3rd, I made predictions for each state in the Presidential race, each Senate race, each Governor's race, and each House race. My results?

President: I predicted Obama would win 375 electoral votes to McCain's 163. Actual Result: Obama - 365, McCain - 173. I miscalled Missouri and one of Nebraska's congressional districts.

Senate: I predicted all 35 races correctly.

Governor: I predicted all 11 races correctly.

House: I predicted 421 of 435 races correctly.

Overall? I did pretty damn good. I may need to find a way to bet money next election day.

Rush Limbaugh Quote of the Day 7/1 - RIP Michael Jackson

Why does everything have to be political for Rush?

"[Michael Jackson] reached a level of success that may never be equaled. He flourished under Reagan, he languished under Clinton/Bush, and died under Obama. Let's hope the parallel does not continue."
Talk about trying to take any bit of news and spin it for your own gain. However, this does give me an opportunity to say goodbye to Michael. He had a screwed up life, but he was one hell of a musician. I especially love his work as part of the Jackson 5. Here is their hit song "I Want You Back."



Here is "ABC." Seriously, the kid was incredible.



And of course, let us not forget his dancing. Here is an excerpt from my favorite Michael Jackson solo song, "Billie Jean."



You stay classy and have a happy July.

Rush Limbaugh Quote of the Day 6/30 & The 22nd Amendment

I'm not sure I want "Rush Limbaugh Quote of the Day" to become a regular theme of our blog, but Limbaugh keeps opening his mouth. I am convinced that every time Limbaugh opens his mouth, God kills a kitten.

I have provided the full quote in all of its glory.

You have to wonder if Obama is just trying to lay a foundation for not being a hypocrite when he tries to serve beyond 2016. I wouldn't be at all surprised if in the next number of years there is a move on the 22nd Amendment, which term limits the President of the United States. He may not do it that way, he may not openly try to change the Constitution. But there might be this movement in the country from his cult-like followers to support the notion that a democratically-elected leader who is loved and adored has carte blanc once elected. Just serve as long as he wants because the people demand it, because the people want it, because the people love it.

And I wouldn't put it past Obama to be plotting right now how to serve beyond 2016 and I think the way he's reacting to what's happening in Honduras - Look, they've got a constitution, they're a democratically-elected set of officials down there and you had a guy running the country, Mel Zelaya, who was just going to basically rip that country's democracy to shreds and the country moved in to stop in him from doing it and Obama sides with the guy who wanted to rip up the constitution. He sides with other dictators in the region. Regardless, I mean, one thing is clear here: Obama is nothing if not a hardcore liberal. Always, always more sympathetic, appearing to side with the bad guys on the world stage.

And I'll tell you folks, this business about running beyond 2016, you know, the thing that when you look at Obama's followers - and we've discussed it here - they are a cult-like bunch and their attachment to him is not political, it's not ideological, it is not issue-wise, it is cultish. It includes a wide percentage of minorities, by the way, who for different reasons, who will come to think that he simply cannot be replaced. Let him succeed with amnesty, for example, and all the illegal aliens who are instantly made citizens. He'll be too important. Just like right now he's too big to fail as far as the drive-bys are concerned, he's too important to be replaced. No one else can lead the nation, they will say. And they won't care a whit about the legalities that might be trampled. Half of the legalities if they don't even know about them because they haven't been properly educated. I think this situation in Honduras is very instructive. Anybody who thinks that he intends to just constitutionally go away in 2016 is nuts ... These are people who seek power for reasons other than to serve. They seek to rule.

Incredible. Obama isn't half a year into his first term and Rush is already accusing him of wanting to run for a third term. When asked to respond to this claim Robert Gibbs, the White House Press Secretary, refuted it. Nice try Mr. Gibbs, but Rush and I are on to you and your little games.

Until we meet again, you stay classy America.

Rush Limbaugh Quote of the Day 6/29/The Situation in Honduras

Sorry this is a day late, but I forgot to post it yesterday. El Rushbo keeps talking out of his rear. Yesterday I was woken up to his soothing voice saying, "Obama loves anti-American, authoritarian leaders. That's just a fact, folks!"

It cracks me up whenever Rush Limbaugh says something is a fact. He says it every time after something ludicrous, as if by saying it is fact it will magically become a fact.

Limbaugh was talking about the current situation in Honduras, in which a military led coup was completed removing President Zelaya from power. Zelaya was allowed to escape the country and go to Costa Rica. The coup took place because he had political enemies who: 1) hated him, and 2) believed he was being unconstitutional by issuing a non-binding survey of some sort that had something to do with him wanting to have another term of office as President, which isn't allowed under the Honduran constitution. As you can see, I am hazy on those details, but he had taken no actual step towards enabling himself to have another term, so I'm not sure if that is in violation of the constitution or not, but I know that a coup sure of hell is.

Now the United States, the neighboring Central American countries, and now the United Nations have all denounced the coup and only recognize Zelaya as the true leader of Honduras. Adding to the intensity is the news that Zelaya is promising to return to Honduras on Thursday. The Attorney General Luis Alberto Rubi said Zelaya will be arrested as soon as he takes a step in the country and will face 20 years in prison for "numerous charges."

So Limbaugh referred to Zelaya as an anti-American, authoritarian leader who Obama loves. Classic. Obviously he hadn't seen this picture of Zelaya wearing a cowboy hat, because nothing is more pro-American than a cowboy hat.

You stay classy US of A.

An Ode To Rush Limbaugh


So, el Rushbo is an idiot. I just heard him blame Mark Sanford's affair on Obama. Apparently Obama's leadership has caused Sanford to hate life and wonder "what's the point?" He even made a hint at Obama causing people to commit suicide. So, this is the post where I have some fun and show how incredibly ridiculous of a person Limbaugh really is. No need for my own words, however, I will just give you some examples of his:

"He is exaggerating the effects of the disease. He's moving all around and shaking and it's purely an act. ... This is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn't take his medication or he's acting."
--on an ad by Michael J. Fox endorsing Claire McCaskill for Senate for supporting embryonic stem cell research (Watch video)

"They're 12 percent of the population. Who the hell cares?"
--On African-Americans

"Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?"

"Hugo, Cesar — whatever. A Chavez is a Chavez. We've always had problems with them."

"I love hugging myself; I love human contact."

"I'm just watching Sen. 'Dick Turban,' ah, Dick Turban is doing his — from Illinois — he of Club G'itmo fame. Ha! I wish Roberts would have shown up in the Club G'itmo T-shirt today. Maybe, maybe a Club G'itmo java coffee cup, just for Dick Turban. Ah, but anyway, Dick Turban."
--On Dick Durbin

"And don't forget, Sherrod Brown is black. There's a racial component here, too. And now, the newspaper that I'm reading all this from is The New York Times, and they, of course, don't mention that."
--on the 2006 Ohio Senate primary race involving then-Rep. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), who is white

"This is no different than what happens at the Skull and Bones initiation...I'm talking about people having a good time, these people, you ever heard of emotional release? You ever heard of the need to blow some steam off?"
--on the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal


"Too many whites are getting away with drug use...Too many whites are getting away with drug sales...The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them, and send them up the river, too."
--in 1995

"I am addicted to prescription pain medication."
--in 2003

"Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society."

"We're not sexists, we're chauvinists -- we're male chauvinist pigs, and we're happy to be because we think that's what men were destined to be. We think that's what women want."

"She comes to me when she wants to be fed. And after I feed her -- guess what -- she's off to wherever she wants to be in the house, until the next time she gets hungry. She's smart enough to know she can't feed herself. She's actually a very smart cat. She gets loved. She gets adoration. She gets petted. She gets fed. And she doesn't have to do anything for it, which is why I say this cat's taught me more about women, than anything my whole life."
--on his cat

"The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies."

"There are more acres of forestland in America today than when Columbus discovered the continent in 1492."

"I know these people like I know every square inch of my glorious naked body."
--on Democrats


"RAWR! HAVE A NICE DAY!"
