"The Winner: Rush Limbaugh"

OUTLAW…?

128 Replies to “"The Winner: Rush Limbaugh"”

  1. Jeff G. says:

    Limbaugh’s just lucky he’s too big to be successfully blackballed.

  2. serr8d says:

    Heh. He opened up with “The Witch is Dead” and the overarching theme “NO COMPROMISE”.

    A damned good man, Rush.

  3. Bob Reed says:

    Maybe you should send Limbaugh a portfolio of your stuff from over the years JeffG. Get him to incorporate your observations on the highjacking of intent into his show as a weekly regular feature, or on the spot when need be.

    Tell him how you were blackballed for saying the same things he did since day 1.

  4. SarahW says:

    But we all agreed with you.

  5. Diana says:

    Y’all are so f****d. Beenthere/donethat.

  6. Jeff G. says:

    But we all agreed with you.

    Uh huh.

    READER POLL!

  7. Jeff G. says:

    Incidentally, just got word that Frisch was released.

    You GO, Oregon!

  8. DarthRove says:

    Incidentally, just got word that Frisch was released.

    No. F’ing. Way.

    Any reasons given? Other than sunspots or overarching incompetence?

  9. Rush is like Cher. He’s been pronounced passe’ so often, yet he’s as ubiquitous as ever. I’d hate to be in a newsroom under orders to ignore him & his influence. It’d give me a killer tension headache.

  10. cranky-d says:

    Any reasons given? Other than sunspots or overarching incompetence?

    Good behavior.

  11. Joe says:

    Rush is an example of success being the best revenge.

    BTW–highlights of MSNBC madness last night have been compiled.

    Heh. He opened up with “The Witch is Dead” and the overarching theme “NO COMPROMISE”.

    A damned good man, Rush.

    I told you Christine O’Donnell was a mistake!

    And the Keynesian is a good man.

  13. AJB says:

    I hope you fail BTW.

  14. JD says:

    AJB hates America.

  15. Squid says:

    Just breaks your shriveled heart to think about ordinary Americans living their lives on their own terms, doesn’t it, AJB? You have so many good ideas for how to improve their lives, and not only don’t they listen to you, they don’t agree to let the State force your ideas on them.

    It’s all so depressing. Why won’t they let you help them?

  16. Slartibartfast says:

    I hope you fail BTW.

    Thank you, Captain Obvious.

  17. DarthRove says:

    That’s fine, AJB. We know you failed.

    Heh.

  18. Obstrperous Infidel says:

    Weel, Darth beat me to it. Darth, were you as surprised as I was in regards to the R’s taking the whole freaking state? My wife told me at about 10:00ish that somebody had called it for Strickland (the local Fox affiliate, Cleveland). I woke up this morning to a pleasant surprise. Not that I hated Strickland. He’s a rather bland man who doesn’t seem moonbattish, but I still voted for Kasich. As long as states are so in thrall to the feds, I’m not voting democrat at the state level. It’s hard enough anymore to vote republican.

  19. Obstreperous Infidel says:

    ruh-roh, I’m having spelling issues again.

  20. McGehee says:

    Any reasons given? Other than sunspots or overarching incompetence?

    Ron Wyden needed her vote.

  21. JD says:

    McGehee – I just read where write in ballots for Miller will not count as votes for Miller. I was joking earlier when I asked about that..

  22. DarthRove says:

    OI:

    – Not surprised about Kasich, though I thought it wouldn’t be as close.
    – Somewhat surprised about DeWine over Cordray for Atty. Gen., because Cordray is more likeable and DeWine was such a wuss Senator. I voted for the Constitution party guy just b/c I didn’t want either of them.
    – SecState, no surprise there because O’Shaughnessy has always been a scheming bint.
    – Portman over Fisher, no shock. Fisher had as much chance of winning as Tim Wise would have surviving a three-block walk on South Side Chicago.
    – Dems winning only 5 of 18 U.S. House districts, and none in SE Ohio? Shocking.

    First thing the new all-R Ohio legislature and administration had better fix is the abysmal personal and business tax rates in the state. Then they can go after foreclosing on widows and orphans, and oppressing teh wimminz and brown peepuls.

  23. JD says:

    AJB and nishit have some butthurt today.

  24. Joe says:

    Appropriate music. And no, it is not music for the guys going in, but going out.

  25. pdbuttons says:

    i can’t wait to see the line at Rush’s funeral
    it will make Reagan look like a piker
    God bless you Rush!

  26. McGehee says:

    I just read where write in ballots for Miller will not count as votes for Miller.

    Where did you read that?

    If they won’t count those as being for Miller, they damned well better be super anal about spelling where Mercowky is concerned.

  27. Who’s astroturf now?

  28. cranky-d says:

    I’m still hoping that most of the AK write-ins are for someone other than Murcowski. Bugs Bunny, for instance.

  29. JD says:

    Lt Gov of AK told that to Politico. He did not file to be a write-in, therefore those votes will not be counted towards his total.

  30. pdbuttons says:

    if Bugs Bunny was elected he wouldn’t serve
    but that bastard Daffy Duck..
    he’s drunk with power…
    Porky Pig for vice president!

  31. JD says:

    Mcgehee, below is the link. It got filtrated last time I tried, likely because I am an idiot. But not as big of an idiot as Barcky.

  32. Joe says:

    Ace needs to let go of his little David Frum, but but this image is not bad.

  33. Obstreperous Infidel says:

    First thing the new all-R Ohio legislature and administration had better fix is the abysmal personal and business tax rates in the state. Then they can go after foreclosing on widows and orphans, and oppressing teh wimminz and brown peepuls.

    Yes, really that is the absolute first priority. The oppressings of teh minorities will be set afoot asap, I presume.

    Portman was an absolute lock and he’s a bright youngish guy. I voted constitution and libertarian for a few of the state offices. Like I said, pleasant surprise in Kasich, though.

  34. pdbuttons says:

    got my cabinet all set up
    marvin martian-minister of defense
    tudor turtle-economic adviser
    tennesse tuxedo-state department
    richocet rabbit-[ping,ping,ping] chief of staff

  35. Rob Crawford says:

    Huckleberry Hound? Why not Droopy?

    Or maybe Droopy’s better off at the DoJ.

  36. McGehee says:

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Alaska desperately needs a sore-loser law.

  40. dicentra says:

    OK, EEs: I don’t get this. http://xkcd.com/814/

    Thanks in advance.

    Also, “Limbaugh’s just lucky he’s too big to be successfully blackballed.”

    Except by the NFL, right?

  41. dicentra says:

    I’m still hoping that most of the AK write-ins are for someone other than Murcowski. Bugs Bunny, for instance.

    I can totally see Alaskans do that.

  42. pdbuttons says:

    i was hungry/ starving- and got a big
    flinstone hunk of meat and cooked it on the grill
    yum yum
    and i took it inside and put it on the tv tray and
    put the clicker on ,to see what was on the tube
    and the flinstone movie was on so i clicked over to see
    and i saw rosie o’donnell as betty and i started vomiting-really vomiting!
    and i couldn’t eat the yummy steak
    so if anyone knows ms o’donnell- please tell her she owes me a meal
    and if she wants to buy me a mesl-tell her to put a bag over her head
    it’ll be good for my digestion

  44. dicentra says:

    A diode only allows current to flow in one direction.

    So she sets it up such that only the guy has to apologize.

    HA HA HA HA!

  45. cranky-d says:

    Even the xkcd guy isn’t going to hit the mark every time.

  46. Squid says:

    dicentra: It’s an apology diode. The apologies only go one way.

    OT: London Tube is FUBAR due to an “industrial action” by the transport unions. Question: why is it called an industrial action, when the workers are doing even less work than usual?

  47. dicentra says:

    It wasn’t that bad, except after you had to asplain it.

    I’m pretty stoked that I understand most of them.

  48. B Moe says:

    OK, EEs: I don’t get this.

    A diode only conducts in one direction.

    We’re all in this together, dude.

  51. Squid says:

    George Soros drinks some of the world’s best scotch, and I’m stuck with this rotgut. I nominate AJB to raid George’s liquor cabinet and share with the rest of us.

    Chop chop, AJB. BECAUSE OF TEH FAIRNESS!

  52. SarahW says:

    Released!? Judge was going to keep tabs, was she not, and use what influence she had to make sure that didn’t happen. Is she released to home?

  53. SarahW says:

    Oh. electronic bracelet. I feel kind of sweary right now. She must have been too obnoxious to keep.

  54. mush! says:

    A Miller write-in counts for Murkowski, because they both begin with M and “iller” is so clearly descriptive of Lisa.

  55. newrouter says:

    some intentionalism

    I can’t wait to see how Alaska’s going to justify tossing out otherwise valid ballots bearing his name when the legal standard in the state is to follow the intent of the voter. Whether he’s on a preapproved list or not shouldn’t matter; in fact, I’ve had friends in New York write in “Allahpundit” as a gag and it ended up in the official returns. Intent is what counts, not some list. If the election ends up turning on that, it’ll be a Category Five political and legal hurricane. Which, from a conservative standpoint, would be awful, but from a blog content standpoint would be awesome.

  56. Charlie Gibson talking to Les Nessman says:

    Rush Limbaugh? Never heard of him.

  57. guinsPen says:

    go direct to jail.

  58. Spiny Norman says:

    Too busy with work today myself, but did anyone listen to Rush today?

  59. serr8d says:

    Holy shit, we took Randy Moss off waivers? We’re freakin’ doomed, DOOMED I SAY!

  60. guinsPen says:

    here’s today’s someone’s sister story, seriously.

  61. JD says:

    That is an ominous sign, serr8d, and a pretty clear signal that Fischer is not entirely confident in his squad.

  62. McGehee says:

    When I ran as a write-in candidate in Alaska back in ’95, I still had to do the state public-offices commission paperwork, and would’ve had to submit financials if I’d been accepting any contributions.

    I think there could be cause to challenge the whole “official write-in candidate” business, but I would have thought someone would have tried it by now — but it’s still there.

  63. JD says:

    McGehee – they better hope that the margin of victory is much bigger than the miller write ins.

  64. winston smith says:

    There is of course a place for write in candidate, the point is the system was subverted, just like the ethics code, the confidentiality of personnel records, the integrity of legal safeguards, vis a vis, everything we have seen in the last three years

  65. newrouter says:

    go lisa m. go karl the rover!

  66. geoffb says:

    Did Murkowski certify that Alaskans Standing Together isn’t working with Murkowski?

    Not sure they have anything in this but…

  68. serr8d says:

    Rush: “Obama is a failure“. A bit of told-you-so and schadenfreude rolled up in a nice two-minute soundbite.

  69. Roddy Boyd says:

    Show me Peggy O and Ill be impressed…Breakdown Palace and Ill jump.
    Those Radio City shows were legendary. I wish I was more than 12 when they were done.
    Great band. I love Dire Straits more but the Dead are wonderful.

  70. Spiny Norman says:

    About 20 years ago, I was stranded out in the middle of nowhere along California 99 at 1:00 in the freaking morning, and got picked by a couple of Deadheads on their way to Dead concert – who not only took me into town to get gas, they drove me back to my car and waited to make sure I was good to go.

    Good people.

  71. Joe says:

    Spiny, I was stranded in Tok, Alaska and I started to thumb my way to Anchorage. The first care, a beat up VW bug with Jersey plates, pulled up. Turns out the driver was following the Dead in Minnesota and just decided to drive north to see what he could see. He drove his bug up the Alcan.

    He drove me to where I was heading in Anchorage then he continued on to Homeer or Stewart (I think).

  72. donald says:

    Last time I saw a bunch of dead heads they were calling me a cock sucker asshole for not buying one of their sodas.

    Just sayin.

  73. serr8d says:

    Ann Coulter is a big-time Grateful Dead fan. I just couldn’t, and wouldn’t. There were much better poets – artists to follow…

    I wrapped a newspaper ’round my head
    So I looked like I was deep
    I said some mumbo-jumbo, then
    I told him he was going to sleep
    I robbed his rings and pocketwatch
    And everything else I found
    I had that sucker hypnotized
    He couldn’t even make a sound
    I proceeded to tell him his future, then
    As long as he was hanging around
    I said “The price of meat has just gone up
    And your old lady has just gone down!”

  74. ThomasD says:

    All of my interactions with Deadheads have been at least neutral, many positive, one really, really positive. It was always sad to see them attempting to cling to RatDog though, you could tell that deep down they knew it was over.

    How do those scrota taste, Mr. Bacon?

  78. JD says:

    I pity you. I mock you. I have scorn for you. But, I am not angry at you, I just have this thing for not caring very much for dishonest little cowardly smegma eaters like yourself.

  79. Obstreperous Infidel says:

    Don’t be surprised 6 months from now when the deficit is all but forgotten

    Funny. Stupid, but funny. I will not forget, however, in six months that you’re still an impotent turd helplessly lashing out for attention. That’s funny, too.

    The deficit and the debt are still, and will still be, priorities of the highest order. It’s funny you mention Pakistan. How many more innocents has Obama killed lately?

  80. Obstreperous Infidel says:

    Who the fuck wants Jeb Bush?

  81. Abe Froman says:

    This is like watching a bug as its drawn to the zapper.

  82. JD says:

    When Ryan says something, it is dishonest. When ryan’s bacon says something’ it is mendoucheous. And, it is a coward. A lying fucking coward. I am off to shave my nut sack, as Ryan was whining about getting pubes in his teeth.

  83. cranky-d says:

    G-d you are a fucking moron, RB.

  84. cranky-d says:

    Oh well, he’s gone already.

    Bye bye!

  85. JD says:

    Was that one of Yelverton’s many personalities, or that little sewage cleaner elfie ?

  86. Abe Froman says:

    #93 sure don’t make sense no more.

  87. Abe Froman says:

    Uh, I meant #91.

  88. Ryan Baconface / William Yelverton says:

    Yes, I’ve been told that my plagiarizing, link-dumping dumb ass isn’t welcome here, but I keep coming back anyway.

    My “RyanBacon” moby was so convincing, in fact, that it took like, 2 comments before you idiotic mouthbreathing racist teabagging teabaggers (that’s right, you dip your balls in people’s mouths! HA!) caught on.

    I am smart and you are dumb. I am a professor of guitar with a PVP pipe nightstand, and you all are… TEABAGGING TEABAGGERS! HA!

  89. Pablo says:

    Here’s the rule: Talking points spewing mendacious racist hilljack douchbags will not be tolerated. Now git.

  90. JD says:

    How fucking big of a douchenozzle can you be?! You come here and call names, and then expect to be treated kindly. As to sucking dick, you said that, not me. Quit projecting. If someone asks you to leave their house, do you change your name, and try to sneak in the back door?

  91. Abe Froman says:

    If that’s true, JD, then I’m in good company. This website is a joke, and I’ll tell you why. I could respect the rules, if there was some sort of standard policy that “lewd language, insults, threats, or trash talk will not be tolerated.” But there isn’t. This is a place where idiots like you can spout off all day about twatwaffles and dicksucking with impunity, while anyone who doesn’t agree with your retarded ideology is banned, has their comments erased, etc. Total subjective horseshit, a den of morons not worth a shred of respect. Your only use is to amuse us. In that capacity, I admit, you excel.

    If you were even a quarter as smart as you think you are, it would be obvious to you how dimwitted that confessional is.

  92. cranky-d says:

    Since you’re still reading here, RB, let me add that you are so clueless that you will never find the clue you lack. You’re like a black hole of cluelessness, with all clue disappearing at your event horizon.

    The rules have been explained many times, and you have broken them many times. There are many trolls like yourself who don’t get banned, and they disagree strongly without our “retarded ideology.”

    Your only use is to amuse us.

    I assume the “us” is you and your cat. Unless you’re using the royal “us,” in which case, seek help.

  93. JD says:

    No, your first comment was where you threw out racist bullshit while pretending to be a conservative. And you got called on it, immediately. You were projecting then, as well as being dishonest, and you are doing the same thing now. Scurry on back to mediamatterz or thinkregress or manbearpig or whatever chess pool you crawled out of, and tell them how mean we were to you. They might give you a sticker. Or a star.

  94. JD says:

    You could not point our one single bigoted or racist comment if you tried.

  95. JD says:

    Now, i really have to run for a bit. Need to manscape the nutsack. I am nothing, if not thoughtful.

  96. Abe Froman says:

    You PRETENDED to be a conservative for days when you arrived here as “Ryan Bacon.” You were mocked from the get go because you’re stupid and grossly overmatched here. Try your puerile shtick at Free Republic or something.

  97. JD says:

    I am neither weak, nor a cum bucket, you foul mouthed coward. You would never, not for one moment, speak to me like that to my face.

  98. Bob Reed says:

    I guess the election really upset Willie. He’s on some kind of bender. I wonder if this has been going on for a few days now.

  99. JD says:

    It is not Yelverton, it is another one of the deranged fucks from TN, prolly elf boy, the sewage treatment graveyard kid.

  100. cranky-d says:

    Oh, please. I’m not going to dig it up, but the very first comment that I left here, many months ago, was a totally non-offensive and non confrontational post in which I gave my honest, balanced opinion on recent Congressional actions. Do you know what I got in response? Hoots and catcalls of “suck kelo dick progg” and “islamofascists fuck young boys in anus i guess that alright with you faggot.”

    I don’t know why I bother, but…

    My guess is, you were dishonest and claimed to be “one of us” while dishing out your cut and paste “opinions.” I recall quite well that your “Ryan Bacon” persona tried to pretend to be conservative, but was immediately outed as the moby it is. Or, you were as insulting as you usually are. Either way, you’re going to get a beatdown. It’s like you think you’re the first progressive who came by here spouting the same opinions that have been discussed and put to bed years ago.

    Your dishonesty is legendary, and that’s what ended any credibility you may have had here had you acted differently.

  101. maggie katzen says:

    I remember William’s first comments being about how we were all Krazy KKKristianists. good times… good times.

  102. LTC John says:

    They are probably really, really, really upset that the “D” folks went on the Endangered Species List in TN. So come and act that all out on someone’s blog…that is the high road, to be sure. Whatever happened to going to the gym and working out, or going out and maybe tying one on and getting over it (once the hangover goes away)?

  103. JD says:

    Or doing something like self reflection, introspection, or trying to learn something? Surely, you jest.

  104. cranky-d says:

    If it is elfie, then I remember his first comment. It was quite insulting. So, he’s a liar and a fraud. He fits right in with his fellow progressives.

  105. LTC John says:

    JD, Yes, you are correct. If one of them was to ask themselves “why am I doing this? Why am I going to a website I am not welcome, slinging insults and calling names – all when I have been told to go away? Is this a learning experience or a good use of my time? What do I get out of this?

    I come here to learn from Jeff, get caught up on some news, share a question or a joke… I wouldn’t go troll some hard left site and spend my time raging at them, using multiple names and IPs when told to leave….that is borderline medicable.

  106. Obstreperous Infidel says:

    The fact that everybody in this joint is more intelligent than RB as well as the knowledge that the majority could, without much effort, curb stomp the little peanut in a heartbeat has got to be weighing on the little guy.

    I’ll be wating for the “proof” of bigotry, though. That should be a pathetic attempt.

    RB, much like tim wise seems to conflate cutlure with race/religion. He’s stupid, so it’s not like that’s a surprise, but nobody here hates Muslims. Nobody. They hate islamists. Especially islamists who kill other people for their religion. But I know rb shares an MO with islamists, so he aggressively defends them. Forced religion isn’t his thing, but forced ideology sure is. Kindred spirits and all. But rb, again being a complete fucking idiot, thinks only in monolithic blocks. Any one Muslim is exactly like the next Muslim, so if I hate one, I have to hate all of them. Kind of like tim wise and blacks. No, there is no difference between black folks. They’re all ghetto dwelling gang bangers who love NWA. BTW, I love NWA. These people are beyond pathetic, which just absolutely underscores why they’re slaves to the collectivist ideology of failure. These people could not possibly make it on their own.

  107. Obstreperous Infidel says:

    I come here to learn from Jeff, get caught up on some news, share a question or a joke… I wouldn’t go troll some hard left site and spend my time raging at them, using multiple names and IPs when told to leave….that is borderline medicable.>/blockquote>

    It is weak, to be sure. But then again, they are weak.

    Elf Radio (see #20 and #23 in this thread).

    After we made fun of the sorry bastard he came back to moby. Thanks for clearing that up.

    Now draw yourself some sexy cartoons and imagine how maybe they’d have sex with you if they could just somehow come to life.

  109. cranky-d says:

    Okay, he did get insulted, by one commenter, who tends to insult everyone here.

    Whatevs.

  110. Jeff G. says:

    Thanks for that, bh.

    Yeah. How many of you have had problems with some of newrouter’s comments?

    Note that Elf Radio’s comments were answered, not deleted. It wasn’t until he became an insufferable prick that I told him to go away. Because I’m tired of dealing with people who pretend they are the smartest in the room — or that we haven’t answered their same points a thousand times before. That’s the problem with mouthing talking points: we’ve likely already heard them from someone else long before you drop them here.

    If you don’t like this place, don’t read it. Simple as that. And if you want to comment, use a single identity, don’t try to moby my site, and don’t act like an insufferable prick.

  111. cranky-d says:

  113. SDN says:

    Yeah, cranky, it’s not like we all weren’t agreeing about legalizing pot, or anything, lately. Nothing but the Party line, for sure….

    You know, I’m almost thinking that Yelverton is the micro of what that scheme to take our 401ks is: let’s keep seeing how hard we can push just to see what it would take for someone to show up at our address (which they know) and pound us into dogfood. Or put 2 in the 10 ring.

  114. SDN says:

    Then we can serve as glorious martyrs as the capstone to our miserable lives…..

  115. ThomasD says:

    I guess we’re all supposed to have the exact same personality.

    I’m usually good for about 24 hours, beyond that I really can’t guarantee much. Sorry.
