Rush Limbaugh took at jab at all same-sex marriages after hearing the news that the lesbian couple who was among the first to marry in California is now getting a divorce. But they're perfectly capable of jabbing back, just not with a built-in national audience.
Limbaugh, who is on his fourth marriage, criticized Robin Tyler and Diane Olson for how long they were married.
"Did you see that the poster couple for gay marriage in California are getting a divorce? You see that? It's true," he said on his radio show in February. "It's two women, they were among the first 14 same-sex couples who got married on the day the ban was lifted in California back in June of 2008. I guess the national average, three-and-a-half years, is what their marriage lasted, maybe it's the California average. I'm not sure."
What he leaves out is that Tyler and Olson were a couple for 18 years, applying for a marriage license every year since 2001. They were the first couple to legally marry in Los Angeles County, where they sued for the right. Tyler, an activist and a comedian for 40 years, wasn't amused but kept her sense of humor.

PRICELESS!
""I will give him one thing," she said. "I believe that Rush Limbaugh is great for birth control. I mean, who the hell would want to sleep with him?""

Rush is just a fatass.

We have to establish a specific biological classification for the Rushus Limbaughnicus. At the very bottom of the evolutionary scale.

(11,366 posts)Whales are also smart. Smarter than Limbaugh, I'd wager.
The Rushus Limbaughnicus gives the missing link a bad name.

You well heeled big wheel, ha ha charade you are.
And when your hand is on your heart,
You're nearly a good laugh,
Almost a joker,
With your head down in the pig bin,
Saying "Keep on digging."
Pig stain on your fat chin.
What do you hope to find.
When you're down in the pig mine.
You're nearly a laugh,
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry.

(14,863 posts)He knows his audience. His listeners know he's a hypocrite. They know he lies. They know he makes shit up. They don't care. In fact, they'd probably turn him right off if he started telling the truth, because that isn't what they want to hear.
