Democrats' 'apology' Web site mocks Limbaugh
http://edition.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/03/04/limbaugh.mocked/



<snip>

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Democrats plan to launch a Web site Wednesday that mocks GOP leaders for apologizing to radio host Rush Limbaugh for criticizing or publicly disagreeing with him.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is hosting the Web site, which allows visitors to create an apology to Limbaugh on behalf of Rep. Phil Gingrey, R-Georgia; South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford; or Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele.

"You and I both know that in reality, you simply want President Obama to fail in this time of economic collapse," reads the fake letter of apology template. "How can I disagree with that? Please accept my sincere apologies, oh great leader of the Republican Party."

Democrats have sought to portray Limbaugh as the leader of the Republican Party and stepped up their efforts last weekend to promote the idea after the radio talk show host told a gathering of conservative political activists to stand strong for their principles.

1. I think the Republicans should start referring to Limbaugh as "Dear Leader".
It seems rather apropos.

4. I'm sorry, Rush . . .
I'm so sorry that when I worked in a bookstore I placed Al Franken's book Rush Limbaugh Is a Big, Fat Idiot in prominent sites throughout the store and often recommended to customers. I'm sorry for shouting loudly across the store, "What's the ISBN on Rush Limbaugh Is a Big, Fat Idiot?" even though I knew it by heart. And, finally, I apologize for referring to you over the years as: a Lying Gasbag, a Misogynist, Drug-Addicted Pervert and a Pimple-Butted Chicken Hawk.

Please accept my sincere apology for all these inexcusable disses.

Oh wait, I just laughed when my husband said you looked like Big Pussy from the Sopranos during that CPAC speech. Does that count? If it does, I'm sorry for that as well.

5. I'm sorry Rush.....
That I criticized you as racist when I heard you play "Barack the Magic Negro". I remember you were the first one to play it.

That I criticized your mockery of gays when you make fun of Barney Frank. - Gosh, now I think it's, it's, it's - darn - it's just cute.

That I criticized you when called upon our Commander and Chief to fail. Gosh, I'm sorry... Please forgive me.

:sarcasm:

that women don't like you. If they only knew how great in bed you are, and how much you tell yourself that every night, then they would just get it. Don't broads understand just how sexy it is being nearly bald, grey haired, obese, dressed like a 70s porn reject, and a pill-popping narco addict?

I'm sorry Rush, that only 27% of the country likes you, in a latest poll. That's even less than like President Bush*. If people only took the time to think about the things you say, I'm sure it would be closer to Dick Cheney level (17%).

I'm sorry Rush, that you look like the twin brother of that Moonlight Bunny Ranch owner Dennis Hof on HBO's "Cathouse" documentary series. He gets to have lots of sex with his female sex workers on a daily basis, while you are stuck popping Viagra and watching Cinemax After Dark movies.

I'm sorry Rush, that your core audience has the mental acquity of turnips and you have to use pop-up books on the radio to get them to understand.

I'm sorry Rush that you still got such large radio spectrum without any balance- but I hear that the fairness doctrine will change all that.
I'm sorry Rush that you pay so little in taxes and never had an audit, I believe you will pay more taxes under Obama and may even get audited.
I'm sorry Rush that your philosophy crashed the marked and killed capitalism as we know it, and by the way , how much money did you loose in the market?
I'm sorry Rush that you live in a democracy that lets you make tons of money as a demagogue, it also can make you pay as much taxes as the MAJORITY wants to tax you rich guy.
I'm glad that you kicked your drug habit, got your hearing back via technology, did not get a stroke or diabetes just goes to show- there is no justice in the world, Fatso.
