Democrats blast Leader Limbaugh for comment on Kennedy

[Contrary1]

:popcorn: This could get very interesting.

"WASHINGTON – A Democratic official rebuked conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh on Friday for suggesting a health care proposal will be named in memory of Sen. Edward Kennedy, who is battling brain cancer. On his radio show, Limbaugh said President Barack Obama's proposed health care revisions will be championed by "the liberal lion Teddy Kennedy."

"Before it's all over, it'll be called the Ted Kennedy Memorial Health Care bill," Limbaugh said.

Brian Wolff, executive director of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, called the remark outrageous and reprehensible.

Limbaugh has been at the center of a partisan dispute since telling a conservative group last month that he hoped Obama's economic policies would fail. Democrats have accused Republicans of letting Limbaugh be their de facto leader, which GOP officials deny.

Limbaugh did not respond immediately to a request for comment that was sent to the e-mail address provided on his Web site."

1. Quite frankly...

His lack of insight and impulse control, in his words, points off to something far more...important than just someone with a case of diarrhea of the mouth.

5 will get you 10 that he's knocking back the pills with his beloved wine and ghod know what else.

2. Why should we be surprised?

This is a man who callously made fun of an actor struck with Parkinson's Disease in 2006.
