Bwah! LIMBAUGH said he never mocks "the appearance of how people come across" as witnesses!1

In all of hearings like this, where there have been witnesses against wingnut nominees or otherwise wingnut interests, LIMBOsevic has gone full-out *impersonator* - particularly when the witnesses have been female - of him lisping or being nasal or doing some kind of Valley Girl dialect - expressly mocking them.

Think back to Christine Blasey FORD. All he did for days was to mock by impersonation. And I have monitored him from Day 1 of when he went national through syndication, and there have been multiple such witnesses whose "appearance how they come across" he has mocked this way.

He hasn't been able to do it with this Ambassador because of her gravitas, so has been focusing on what he calls her appealing to "sympathy."

*********It has been often been said of him that he is performing a character for cash, that he really doesn't mean what he says, and that he knows exactly what he is doing. So while most other wingnuts are tone deaf and dead-to-irony, it is hard to believe he was oblivious to the irony (and falsity) of what he said about not mocking people by how they come across in appearance on (tv).

1. He prepared his listeners for the disgusting type of president we have now.

Mocking, character assassination, misogyny, name calling--the works.

the driving force of Scorched Earth division of the country. I have put off for years writing up a condensed profile of him about this.

2. I try to remember he's deaf, hearing only with a cochlear implant. His Obama is deep-south n****.

I try to remember he’s never really heard Obama. But mostly I remember he ‘s a racist a-hole and a big fat liar.

It would be easier to find instances where he hasn’t mocked or done his best to destroy the opposition. Easy, because that number is zero.

5. So when Rush calls Loretta Lynch "Aunt Jemimah" he is not referring to her skin color?

Is it because she makes pancakes? Because she is sweet as syrup?

Gimme a break.

FemaNazis.

He tells the dashboard believers that feminism is only to let ugly women find a role, to find work.

This coming from a bloated bag of shit.

This is opening up for the American people to see exactly what this deep state is, whatever you want to call it. We have here a bunch of professional nerds who wear their bow ties and they have their proper diplospeak. And what are they upset about? They’re upset that Donald Trump used irregular channels ....

12. Limbaugh was the first to come up with the nickname, Pencil Neck, for Adam Schiff.

Sometimes the lack of self-awareness is simply shocking. Especially with photos of Mr Trump with his elongated tie drawn too tightly, displaying a "camel toe" of immense proportion...
