3. Origin of his name

Rush is called "rush" because he spends the vast majority of his waking hours high as a kite from using massive quantities of illegal narcotics.

[sulphurdunn]

4. It's a great name

for a druggie. :woohoo:

[KansDem]

5. He used to be known as "Jeff Christie"

DU thread from 2005

7. Christie

Are all repigs named Christie gravitationally challenged?

Cheap shot, but compared to the abhorrent slime & lies that ooze from the pieholes of those two losers, it's Wildean-level wit.

6. Nice dig at the tail end of the segment

'now go back to the Oxycontin.'

:rofl:

14. shinebox

reminds me of the dig from Goodfellas... "now go get your shinebox". :)

8. A junkie who's name is Rush....

.... should watch the name calling.

[alfredo]

18. Pill poppers were called "garbage can junkies."

9. I hope the TYT Army clogs Mush Bimbo's phone lines.

10. Listening to Rush Limbaugh........

Is like farting in the bathtub ; The sound is very funny, and it always stinks.:patriot:

[Plucketeer]

20. I try not to pass gas in a tub.

It's sorta like intentionally tuning to Rush's radio program - you KNOW it's gonna offend you!

[certainot]

11. problem is limbaugh is louder than 97% of scientists because the left ignores talk radio- the bigges

bigest political blunder in history, specifically because of the obstructio that limbaugh and sons and the radio monopoly have been able to effect on our politics and media, enabling the deniers.\

here's a petition to get universities out of endorsing RW radio climate change denial:

http://signon.org/sign/american-universities-1?source=c.url&r_by=241761

text:

American Universities: Stop broadcasting athletics on Rush Limbaugh radio stations.

To be delivered to: American Universities and Colleges

“We the undersigned demand that our state-funded universities and colleges immediately find alternative non-partisan radio stations to broadcast their athletics.

By broadcasting on Rush Limbaugh and other political talk radio stations they endorse partisan political propaganda, global warming denial, hate, racism, and attacks on our unions and teachers, and therefore contradict their own stated goals and mission statements.”

12. I've noticed older people like to show disrespect by pretending

to not be able to pronounce someone's name. They pronounce it in a ridiculous way thinking it's funny. I've actually enjoyed that from guys I like, sticking it to someone I don't have any respect for. Just a guy with a funny sounding foreign name we pretend is some kind of clown.

As if Rush couldn't ask someone real quick how to pronounce it? That is one that no one would get right on the first try though.

[NJCher]

13. I've seen that, too

And I think it's all an act. rush limbaugh was pretending he didn't know who Cenk is. He thinks stumbling over Cenk will make him look like an important guy who doesn't know the newer people in the business (relatively speaking).

I am sure he knows, and even if he didn't, someone on his staff surely knows and could have filled him in. Broadcasting is a small world, and the world of partisan broadcasters is even smaller.

This says more about limbaugh and his pitiful self-image than it does about anything. And Cenk handled himself professionally in his response. He looks more professional and acts more professional than the personality in the sloppy polo shirt.

15. You are correct.

Limbaugh knows exactly who Cenk is.

[TxVietVet]

16. Cenk is a good professional broadcaster and has a great sense of humor.

druggie limpballs did his little act for a couple of reason. Primarily to insult Cenk and to start his demonization act against Cenk.

druggie limpballs, champion conservanazi A-hole. ;^)

17. I think Rush has switched to shooting his downers by now.

The OXY-"Moran."

[alfredo]

19. He's too much of a wimp to mainline. Maybe he's a skin popper.

[Crowman1979]

21. He's using downers because the TYT Army is too strong and he can't handle it.
