Rush Limbaugh pays his respects

[LTR]

When you strip it all away, Jerry Garcia destroyed his life on drugs. And yet he's being honored, like some godlike figure. Our priorities are out of whack, folks.

"Kurt Cobain was, ladies and gentleman, I just--he was a worthless shred of human debris..."

"These are basically a bunch of miserable, angry people exploiting death. But that's actually a good analogy out there, . It is. This sort of has the same tone to it and the same hysteria that accompanied the Wellstone memorial -- which, of course, as we know, was not a memorial to Paul Wellstone. It was a campaign event, and it was "win one for Wellstone" and so forth."

"My friends, Senator Paul Wellstone's death was a tragedy; there's no question about it. But the Democrats are using it as a political rallying cry, politicizing it to nationalize the elections – as was reported in that great newspaper of record, the Des Moines Register. The Democrats are politicizing this death, because they see it as a chance to win a seat they might have lost. How's that for playing politics?"

Most likely didn't actually come out and say it ... but how many times have Repukes said ill about JFK, RFK, MLKjr, FDR, etc ...

I'd forgotten about the Jerry Garcia quote.

I'd like to see him make the same statement today.
