Fear Of A Clown

Fears of a Clown

Once upon a time, you could drive to the most remote reaches of the United States and escape Rush Limbaugh. But from the Mogollon Mountains of New Mexico to the Badlands of South Dakota, where only the delicious twang of a country tune or the high-pitched pleadings of a lone lunatic came over the AM dial, there is now the Mighty El Rushbo.

As someone who spends a lot of time on the road, I used to find Limbaugh to be an obnoxious but entertaining companion, his eruptions more reliable than Old Faithful. But now that Limbaugh has become something else — the face of the Republican Party, by a White House that has played him brilliantly — he has been transformed into car-wreck-quality spectacle, at once scary and sad.

Behold:

The sweaty, swollen man in the black, half-buttoned shirt who ranted for nearly 90 minutes Saturday at the Conservative Political Action Conference. He reiterated his desire to see the president of his country fail. He misstated the Constitution’s intent while accusing President Obama of “bastardizing” the document. He made fun of one man’s service in Vietnam, to laughter.


David Letterman compared him to an Eastern European gangster. But he looked more like a bouncer at a strip club who spent all his tips on one bad outfit. And for the Republican Party, Limbaugh has become very much a vice.

1. did you notice during that clip

That Rushbo was breathing hard? If you watch carefully you can see he is clearly out of breath. Talk about some one in bad shape. He needs to lay off the chicken fried twinkies with oxy-contin sprinkles.

2. The hell he does. We should have fried chicken, french fries,

cheesecake, and beer catered in to that man every day he has left on this Earth. Maybe we can shorten our misery.

4. All we can hope is that

When that chicken fat finally clogs his aorta shut, it happens on the air, so we'll all be able to enjoy it.
