I was all, like, "Why the hell couldn't it have been lockjaw?"

One of few side effects of heavy opiate (4.00 / 5)

use, other than physical addiction, is damage to hearing.  By the way, I had a great uncle who had tetanus (lockjaw), a horrible infection.  He almost died, but the medical folks saved him.  I would not with that even on damned old Limbaugh.

Country first HIS ass... (4.00 / 2)

...is huge. In the days leading up to the 4th of July we get Glenn Beck wishing through a guest for a nuclear terrorist attack on our nation, now Rush wants a military coup. Fuck 'em. I want to see both of them hauled in for questioning about their links to nuclear terrorism and Honduras coup leaders. They've a right to spew all the crap they can think up, but that doesn't mean the FBI/HSD don't have cause to question. Pointedly.

But for the few that do, well, the truth hurts.

I never said one way or the other, but (4.00 / 1)

for the record, he was and still is the legally elected president of his country.  He was holding a referendum for something that the courts would have found unconstitutional, but we have a long legacy of presidents of our country that supported things that the Supreme Court finally found to be unconstitutional.

FDR tried to "pack" the court to get around it, and that was shot down as well.  Bush did many unconstitutional things, and probably never will have to answer for them.  Just because a leader does something unconstitutional does not mean that that leader should be purged.

unconstitutional, not nonbinding resolutions.

and these idiots (4.00 / 3)

call themselves "patriots"!?

8 years? (4.00 / 4)

Shit, I'm hoping they spend 40 years in the wilderness of irrelevance.  The way they keep shoveling to make that hole wider & deeper (are they trying to dig through to China?) makes their continued oblivion seem likely.

Of course, having GOP governorships imploding weekly will help their cause: It's good for McCain!

heh...couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch.

Limbaugh was never very stable, but now (4.00 / 2)

I think that he just does not care what he says anymore.  I wonder if that new contract of his has a "if you are found to be psychotic, sociopathic, or psychopathic you get paid anyway and can retire" clause.  It is sounding more and more like it.  He used to make a LITTLE sense, but now just spews bizarre ideas, sort of like Wiener (Savage).

After the US military coup (4.00 / 4)

We could have President-for-Life Limbaugh, ably assisted by Vice-Presidente Cheney.

Don't worry, Doc (4.00 / 3)

Cheney's heart will give out eventually...unless he succeeds in his attempt to become a cyborg...in which case, beware.

We know that the authortarian mind (4.00 / 5)

easily compartmentalizes very contradictory ideas but it's amazing that they can do it with such opposing viewpoints as patriotism and wishing for a coup.

I shouldn't be surprised and I'm not but I am always floored at the lemming qualities of those who actually think that Rush Limbaugh makes sense.

I listen to him often so that you do not (4.00 / 1)

have to do so.  He is very, very out there, and getting more bizarre.

I'd settle for a coup (4.00 / 2)

on Goldman Sachs and the Fed who are holding us hostage to the interests of the Banking Elite.

Heh.

How is limbaugh's comment not sedition? (0.00 / 0)

From Merriam-Webster On-Line the definition of sedition:

incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority

How is this not prosecuted?

A rhetorical question I suppose, sigh.
