Before I get serious: I put this joke out too late at night (?) on
alt.flame.rush-limbaugh etc. for anyone to notice yet, and Google Groups now
fascistically limits us to five (!) cross-groups, so here goes for the
entertainment and enlightenment of others across the fruited plains:
When Rush talks about his "favorite dope," does he mean:
A. Oxycontin?
or
B. His biggest fan (whoever that might be....you?)
(Actually, it must be "himself!")
Well, to be serious (because this is an opportunity to raise consciousness about
these issues, whatever Limbaugh's opinions are about this and that): Now that
one of their own (otherwise, they never care) is indulging, will conservatives
quit calling for, and jailing, people involved in the analogous case of sampling
medical marijuana? I notice, that's the new slant by Rush's right-dio shills:
Oh, poor guy, we can feel his pain, and mean Liberals quite picking on the poor
guy! Mike Savage blamed doctors for not being willing enough to pass out pain
pills to people who want them! We don't know if Rush really "needs" it anyway,
or maybe it's for those "anal cysts" that let him dodge the Vietnam era draft
and become a chickenhawk. (Well, Rush should know, that opiates cause
constipation anyway.....) Is there hypocrisy here?
For treatment: it would be cool to put Rush on ibogaine. That might not only
cure his pill addiction, it might open his mind to the narrow meanness of his
thinking and attitudes.

You! Well, I guess you're just kidding, in a bad mood. Some OxyContin would be
relaxing, but don't try Rush's dosage levels - he's an addict.

I've listened in on the Rush-ster off and on for quite a while, just to get
a sampling of his BS (and for that matter, have enjoyed sampling the even
more psychedlic BS of Xtian fundies scattered across the AM dial as well).
Seems to me that up to a year or two ago, Limboob was at least capable of
patching together a logical argument (falacious though it may have been),
and communicating it as per the requirements of his day job. But any more,
when I flip over to get a random sample, literally, more often than not it's
"I...I..I...uhhhhh....." "phhppphh, well, there's just, .... pppppppppp"
"eehhhheEEEHhhh", etc, i.e. markedly increasing percentage of random,
stuttering, stammering, whining vocalizations. Sometimes I even enjoy
flipping between stations and then back to Rush again a few seconds at a
time, just to see how many consecutive "uuu....eeh.. I, I, I"s I can get in
a row. And, they can last for a surprisingly long time! Apparently, his pain
pill uptake has indeed increased exponentially over the past year or so. Or
something! Anyway, watch for falling Limbaugh .....

Maybe, just maybe, you are right about Rush, but Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham,
Ann Coulter, David Limbaugh (the brother), and others take themselves very
seriously and grimly. (Mike Savage: God only knows what's going on in that
wire-ass's head. If he's taking drugs, it wouldn't be OxyContin, but Datura and
STP mixture at the least.) Some are quite bitter and not at all "entertaining."
Coulter called decorated Vietnam vet John Kerry a "traitor" for not agreeing
with her/Bush (heh heh) about foreign policy. Their talk about liberals is
getting to be like anti-Semitism in the 30's. (Find Richard Cohen's column about
Coulter and _Treason_ if you can.)
As for Bush: My mother, still quite sharp in her 70's, says that G III was
elected precisely because people thought he was "dumb like them, and they liked
that."
[note: yes, I drop e-prime several times during this post, adopting the
certainty of fools and fanatics, as Bertrand Russel might say. Ah
well.]

In fact, a profound humorlessness marks all such fanatics. They'll
claim to have a sense of humor but appear to have wholly and completely
lost the ability to laugh at themselves.
As for what drugs Mike Savage and for that matter the others may be on,
simple amphetamine psychosis and / or heavy stimulant-induced or enabled
paranoia satisfy me as an explanation (I have difficulty distinguishing
their rantings from those of the clinically paranoid, which those of
coke or speed heads can end up resembling).

Better yet, find the typical of their political projection style*
interview with Grover Norquist about the estate tax (spun as "the death
tax") and / or the whole concept of progressive taxation "is"
persecution of the monied minority just like persecution of the jewish
minority characterized the Nazis, or apartheid characterized South
Africa.
...I just looked this up. The interview was on NPR's Fresh Air:

>As for Bush: My mother, still quite sharp in her 70's, says that G III was
>elected precisely because people thought he was "dumb like them, and they
>liked that."
Sure. Part of that seemed pure spin on the media's part; I found
DailyHowler.com's live analysis of the repeated media distortions and
lies (specifically, how everything got slotted into prescripted stories:
Bush the Simplistic but Honest EveryMan, McCain the Straight Shooter,
Gore the Exaggerator / Condescending Smartypants) during election 2000
and find their subsequent summaries of same after invaluable in pinning
them down. [I've also made a related, more paranoid point re: the movie
_Armageddon_.]
* Remember Team Bush's 2000 claim that "they'll do anything to win".
Note also that the repeated implication that liberal criticism of the
president's policies is "treasonous" is not restricted at all to
Coulter. Many right wing columnists have recently repeated Ashcroft's
point outright: that such criticism aids and abets our enemies. It has
been updated to apply to recent criticism of the lack of pre-war
planning for occupation (as urged by the CIA and State Department, but
rejected by the inner neocon circle), of current U.S. policies in Iraq,
of the continued anti-UN policy, etc.
In that regard the following quote again holds a mirror up to certain
players on the Bush side -- in the Bush white house even (i.e. the
Veronica Plame leakers):
"Even though I'm a tranquil guy now at this stage of my life, I have
nothing but contempt and anger for those who betray the trust by
exposing the name of our sources. They are, in my view, the most
insidious of traitors."
The speaker? George H.W. Bush (in his speech at the dedication ceremony
for the George Bush Center for Intelligence -- see
http://www.cia.gov/cia/public_affairs/speeches/1999/bush_speech_042699.html
)

Your mother is dumber than a box of rocks.
Give us some good reasons, without lying or the intellectual fallacies and fraud
common to dittoheads and their ilk, to believe that George W. Bush has done a
good job manifesting his intelligence. Go ahead, look at the economy, the way
intelligence and the war turned out, the civil rights situation (Patriot acts,
that bother libertarians like Nat Hentoff and true conservatives like Judge
Andrew Napolitano of Fox, not the PC sideshow junk about gays and affirmative
action) , the issue of transparency of government, handling of critics, the
environment, the donor-reward tax scheme. If you can succeed, I'll put the old
girl out to pasture and become a Republican. I don't think you could even if you
weren't dumb like him, it would be hard enough for someone with a high IQ. (The
smarter conservatives like George Will have indeed stopped trying. You probably
don't read much, like your hero in the What?House, so you may never have heard
of him.)

If your mother thinks Alpha Gore is smarter than Bush

Are you really a plant from the Hillary campaign, designed to make dittoheads

Note that "Nada" appropriately means "nothing" in Spanish - is that a tip off? I

GWB is doing a great job, but just threw out the most pitiful pubescent insults
