Can somebody please explain this Rush "I'm tired of carrying water" thing?

[mac56]

Honest to God, I don't understand what he's getting at.

Is he admitting he feels betrayed by the RWers he's been shilling for all this time?

Sorry to be dense, but idoan geddit.

[valerief]

1. He's a junkie. He doesn't have to make sense all the time. nt

[ChoralScholar]

2. It's not water you're carrying, fatass, lay off the donuts. EOM

[laheina]

31. LOL!

That's damn funny! :D

[Marr]

3. He's retaining water.

Maybe?

[two gun sid]

4. The oxycontin and viagra flakes in his throat when he swallows...

them without water.

[MichiganVote]

5. He's having a pity party making millions by whoring for republicans

who don't glorify him, and by proxy, his listeners. Ego problems? Yeah, just a few.

[bemildred]

6. He is doing the rat backstroke, like a lot of other blowhards. nt

[mtnester]

7. Dope...pick your definition

[txindy]

8. He's distancing himself from the losers. They weren't worthy of him, in his opinion.

:eyes: He'll concentrate on others now - until they lose, anyway. Flush is an opportunist and any failure is the other guy's fault.

[JohnnyLib2]

10. I vote with you -- distancing.

His whole schtick is "us against them," he's just changing the "them."

[shadowknows69]

12. Well his ratings should tank in about 6 months then

It would be nice to finally see Mr. Limbaugh in the unemployment line.

[txindy]

15. I don't think so. He's still against us, but he'll find different wingnuts to endorse

Nothing else has changed.

[radfringe]

36. around 11 years ago or so

I had to drive with my dad to Florida - round trip from MA to FL

24 hours in a car with my dad who thinks Rush is Right... so guess what we listened to on the radio???? arrrrggghhhh

ok - so after about the 5 hour of this - I say to to my dad "You know rush should be on his knees thanking the Clintons instead of bashing them"

dad: Huh? whaaa??

me: because without the Clintons to bash - he has nothing to say

----

it was true 11 years ago, still true today. His shows are all the same - it's either the Clintons fault the Democrats fault or the the Liberals fault PERIOD (ummm no comma here)

[txindy]

20. He still hates Dems, but he's going to find crazier wingnuts to back.

Every repub who lost is unworthy of his efforts, in Flush's tiny mind. He'll go even farther to the right to find his new candidates.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

28. The extreme right wing can't believe America rejects them

So Tuesday's results must be due to something else. It's ChimpCo that failed them and made mistakes. That's how I interpret Limbaugh's latest ravings.

[Rockstone]

32. He's tired of being just the water boy

now it's time to show them how its done.

[slaveplanet]

9. I think it has something to do with

throwing swine before earls.

[skooooo]

11. He can't hold his water anymore.

[Spangle]

13. Tired of carrying their piss?

I don't know? I've been wondering about that myself.

[elehhhhna]

14. They won't actually let him waterboard detainees. He's the slob on the sidelines

who just does the fetching. Being a sadist, this annoys him.

Mystery solved.

[beyurslf]

16. Was he referring to Rumsfield?

[Quixote1818]

17. I think he is upset with the Republicans who don't always drink his cool aid

but I am confused as well.

[LTR]

18. From now on, he'll spit instead of swallow

That's a start.

[Salviati]

19. He's probably trying to pull the oldest whiney republican trick in the book...

Whenever republican policies fail, or politicians lose elections, it's because they aren't 'True Republicans™'.

This way any failure on their part isn't really a failiure of their ideals or philosophy, merely a failure of the people that they put their trust in to live up to the 'True Republican Philisophy™'.

[Metta]

21. He's covering his ass, hoping he won't get bounced off the air.

Or wind up in jail for his long term dishonesty and treason to reason and our country.

[Swede]

22. He's having a hard time washing pills down his big fat gullet.

He's getting tired.

[bluedogyellowdog]

23. My first thought was

he thinks the Repug Party isn't extremist enough. He was tired of carrying water for Chafee, DeWine, Leach, Johnson and so on. He wants only extreme righties in the party. Or else spinning things to make it seem like this was really a victory for him - spinning it like Allen and Santorum and their ilk weren't real conservatives. He's trying to justify his continued viability on the radio - which is in question.

He's also probably just zonked out of his mind on oxycontin..

[uppityperson]

24. I love you people and am laughing so hard. Thanks for clearing this up!

:rofl: times a whole bunch

[UTUSN]

25. #s 10 & 23 -----Ding ding DING!!!!1

LIMBOsevic is the SINGLE most polarizing, hateful, "human" in this country for 18 years. He's relived because he's BLAMING the "moderate, Country Club (Rethugs)." He's the ultimate extremist, burnt earth a-hole. He hates Dems MORE than terrorists. That's all.

[damntexdem]

26. Maybe it has something to do with an enlarged prostate.

Does oxycontin do that?

[THUNDER HANDS]

27. he's better when he's railing against Democrats than supporting Republicans

his stock and trade is hate and bile, and when he can direct that at Dems in power, he's happy. When he has to spend all day defending the GOP, he's not.

He was probably as happy as us that the GOP lost, it gives him something to scream at for the next two years.

[mac56]

29. He's not happy unless he's NOT happy.

[ellacott]

30. Rush needs to look in the mirror

and realize he played a part in this "thumpin". It's true he carried the water for the republicans but he messed up when he threw water in Micheal J. Fox's face. Rush was probably the deciding factor in that election.

[SiouxJ]

39. Exactly. I'm sure he's feeling heat for the whole MJ Fox thing

I'm sure Rove et al are putting some of the blame on him and he's pointing fingers back in their faces. I think there's a lot of infighting going on that we're not seeing (about who's to blame).

[sendero]

33. He's trying..

... to distance himself from the loss, as though he had to be persuaded to carry their water.

He is as delusional and narcissistic as Bush himself.

[Skidmore]

34. If by "carrying water," he means following the RW elite around

and carrying their pisspots, then I'd say he's still doing the job. That's what he signed on for...that and all those beautiful hillbilly heroin pills and freedom from indictment. They own his ass. He's stuck being the Johnny-one-note that he is.

[dogday]

35. He has been lying to his listeners

If he had woke up Nov 8 and America had voted for republicans, old Rush would still be carrying water for them.... Whatever way the wind blows

[treestar]

37. He actually thinks he is important!

He thinks he has power. He actually thinks he has been helping them, but they lost, and now he's tired of working for those losers! LOL, if he was so important, they'd have won, right? So he is dodging responsibility. His ego is too much, man!

[watercolors]

38. Thats his problem

he won't be important anymore. his voice has been silenced somewhat!

[pdxmom]

40. Rush is admitting that this is a lame duck presidency and he's not

going to "stay the course". When the Repukes took control, Rush took total credit for it. Now he realizes that the winds have changed and he's going to have to find new boogey men to revile and new conservatives to support.

They're eating their own.

[DemonFighterLives]

41. He's just unhappy that thinking people will be running things now

No nukes going off and Muslims/ women/ environmentalists in danger.
The racist/sexist pig will need to hide in his bunker- the feminazi's and environazi's and whoevernazi else will be coming for him.
Anal cyst be damned- run fat boy!
