My painful duty: listening to Limbaugh

He's gone on for 35 minutes with mindnumbing polls--all put in a favorable-to-Repubs framework. Of course he says the Dems are scared.

Drudge is stuck on the "polls tightening, Emmanuel nervous and big color picture of Pelosi.

Folks, I'm very reassured. They got nothin', just filling time now.

Agent JL2, signing off.

1. I caught a bit of that
I really liked his explanation that if the Democrats lose or if they don't win as big as they think they should, it just proves how unpopular their message is. That's some pretty steep handicapping.

No matter how much we win, it won't be as big as some of the wildest prognistications, so Rush is ready to come on Wednesday saying how this defeat is really a mandate for President Bush to continue what he his doing.

2. what a tough assignment
I used to try to listen to him occasionally - just to hear the talking points while they're still fresh - and I had to stop when I heard the following last year: a rightwing caller was complaining that his moderate wife was getting more educated and thus more liberal and Rush told the guy it was his fault for allowing her to go to college where she could be brainwashed by her liberal professors.

Seriously. I know he would say he was joking, but that shit's not really very funny. I couldn't bring myself to listen to him since then, not that I normally made it past about 10-20 minutes before that.

4. Commentary from a man who doesn't believe in Polls?

No doubt limbaugh and his bought "friends" will have to take a long weekend to the dominican republic to fuck little boys and spread other conservative values. His mother and father were obviously total failures as parents.

P. S. - Thanks for the report.

5. Thanks for taking one for the team
I tried, I really did many years ago, but when he said some stupid shit about how those ungreatful Wal-Mart workers were just lucky to have jobs and should quit demanding overtime pay, I had to stop listening. I damn near ran my car off the road. So he's unsafe as well.

6. For my part, I relieve you of your duty
Edited on Mon Nov-06-06 01:22 PM by Jack Rabbit
To mix a metaphor, Limbaugh's fifteen minutes have been on life support for a long time. It's time to ignore him and Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity and the others who preach to the vile, racist right wing choir.

Do you really think they are capable of persuading anybody to vote Republican? No. The people who listen to them or read their droppings from day-to-day are voting Republican anyway. Their listeners do not want to be informed. They want their faith in a brutal, imperial America validated. Its become an enclosed universe, isolated in its own alternate reality.

Mission accomplished, Agent JL2. Now go read Rousseau and Whitman.
