Rush Limpballs and Rep. Issa are at it again with the craziness...

President Obama called up the hurricane center and told them to make it look like Isaac was making a beeline for Tampa.

According to Limpballs...

Walking his audience through the timeline of events leading to the Republicans delaying their convention by a day, Limbaugh launched into a conspiracy theory, all the while denying that he was suggesting anything by it: “And I noticed that the hurricane center’s track is — and I’m not alleging conspiracies here. The hurricane center is the regime; the hurricane center is the Commerce Department”:

It’s the government. It’s Obama.

And I’m noticing that that track stayed zeroed in on Tampa day after day after day. And the Republicans react to it accordingly over the weekend, canceling the first day of the convention. What could be better for the Democrats than the Republicans to cancel a day of this? [...]

Okay, 6:45 p.m. Saturday night the Republicans announce that they’re canceling Monday. At 6:45 p.m. Saturday night, everybody is still under the impression that Isaac is making a beeline for very close to Tampa. It was an hour and 15 minutes later that the eight p.m. model runs showed New Orleans. I’m alleging no conspiracy. I’m just telling you, folks, when you put this all together in this timeline, I’m telling you, it’s unbelievable.


Limbaugh’s not the only one playing politics with the weather; Rep. Darryl Issa (R-CA) said he’d be “fine” with a potentially devastating hurricane hitting New Orleans if it meant Republicans would win in November.

The Republican Jobs Bill:
It states they will never refuse to give anyone in their party or anyone who supports them jobs.

Just in....

Rush Limbaugh and Darryl Issa caught giving each other blow jobs.

His listeners are, though. A lot of them really believe this shit. The ones that don't believe it pretend they do. He knows his audience, is all this indicates.

was developed by a 12 year old Norquist, and was then expounding on the back of a napkin by Paul Ryan...thinking that President Obama can control the weather, or that the track of the storm was a conspiracy is the Republican epitome of SANITY.

I imagine that if just one girl had only given Grover the "time of day" when he was a pudgy, pimple-faced, pasty prepubescent, Cheetoe-Stained-Penis ASSHAT, he wouldn't have grown to be a pudgy, pimple-faced, pasty, adult Cheetoe-Stained-Penis ASSHAT!

and he tried to explain it as; (paraphrased) "he's (Akin) a idealog, and he was just making an argument...he believes so strongly that he's right about the abortion issue, that he only hears what he wants to hear, and says things that are designed to promote his agenda, even things that may not be accurate, but he does it to support his argument"

I almost shot my radio!!!!

I rarely play this game, but if Rush believes this, then POTUS IS a powerful wizard.

(And we all know POTUS has nothing better to do but to call the NWS and order them to manipulate data, and the hurricane chasers too)

"There really isn't a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico, they made all of that up to take attention away from our convention."

Yes, Rush, hurricanes obey the Obama administration, and we all battened down the hatches for absolutely no reason. There was no flooding whatsoever in Florida, Rush, and there was no reason at all for them to be concerned by the rising water. Here in on the MS gulf coast, I have no fucking reason whatsoever to be concerned, and Katrina was just a bad rainstorm.
