Whenever Limbaugh Gets The National Spotlight, He Blows It
Like he did when he blew his TV sports job.

Give him a lead role and he buries himself in the part.

He doesn't have the ability to move out of the shadows thrown by the dittoheads (sort of like a cockroach). He's like the kid who gets a speeding ticket every time he's trusted with the car. He's like the jerk at the office who made life miserable for everybody else the one day the boss put him in charge. He can't perform under pressure, which is why he can't have live guests in his studio and has all of his calls screened like crazy.

He's a putz. Throwing a national spotlight on him is the worst thing that could happen to him.

Ha!

Cow ass or pig ass. It is still an insult to asses everywhere and of every kind to be compared to that piece of flesh known as Rush

12. No, because he doesn't know the meaning of the word.
He markets himself as somebody who provokes food fights rather than thought provoking debates. This has gone on for two decades.

3.  Like that ‘phony soldier’ letter that Reid owned him on.
I heard that they listed it on ebay and he actually "bought" it himself. I don't remember ever hearing that the supposed charity ever got any money.

What a lying lard ass.

5. He is diminished when he's out of his element.
Forgetting his forgettable speech at CPAC, what struck me as really odd was his physical mannerisms. Jumping up and down with that strange look in his eyes and the weird arm flailing..I guess he was trying to get some excitement generated, but it looked like quite pathetic. Take away the microphone and he's really just another putz.

7. Can you believe he dissed Obama for using a TelePrompter
and then rattled on for 90 minutes like that? Quoted the Declaration and called it the Constitution, etc. What a celebration of ignorance that whole CPAC was.

8. The thing is, he's popular in that crowd specifically *because of* the
things he says that would be unpopular with the majority of the country. He appeals to a radical hate fringe.

When he has a national spotlight, he turns people against him in minutes-- but that's *why* his supporters love him. Any of his fans would turn the country against themselves in minutes as well, were they to be given a national voice.

10. RW extremist Pat Sajak let the junkie pedophile host his late-night talk show for one night
The studio audience hated him so much the studio had to be emptied during a commercial break. I watched it on TV live. Yes, when exposed to the general public, the general public rejects him.

14. What an incredible fraud! He had his ass handed to him.



So this is how it really turns out when he doesn't have the call screeners that he has on his Hatefest Show.

:rofl: :rofl:

21. There it is.
Ahh, the smell of it. The worst of humanity. The foulest of intentions. The audacity of mendacity.

Change the name, change the era, change the uniform, change the medium. It is all the same.

I am born of sociopathy. One half of my parentage is of sociopathy. My family history is known, and it is notorious. Just this week I had to recount my family history to strangers, this time to a judge, a DA and a defense attorney during voir dire for my civic duty as a juror. Fortunately, I was given the option of doing so in private.

I tell you now there is no cure for it, but one.

The founders knew this.

That is all I can say.

18. No, he does exactly what he's supposed to do. So does Ann Coulter.
They are in th business of generating sales and ad revenue.

Saying stupid things sells tickets and attracts low IQ "buyers".

He's a huge success at being an idiot.
