Limbaugh Defends Jindal, Warns Conservatives They Are ‘Making A Real Mistake If They Go After’ Him
Limbaugh Defends Jindal, Warns Conservatives They Are ‘Making A Real Mistake If They Go After’ Him
The response across the political spectrum to Gov. Bobby Jindal’s (R-LA) speech last night has been overwhelmingly negative. Even the most enthusiastic conservative talkers had harsh words for Jindal’s speech, calling it “cheesy,” “insane,” and “not his greatest oratorical moment.”
But Jindal still maintains one key supporter — Rush Limbaugh. On his radio show this afternoon, Limbaugh leaped to Jindal’s defense. “I love Bobby Jindal, and that did not change after last night,” he said. Limbaugh then directed this admonition at his fellow conservatives:
LIMBAUGH: [T]he people on our side are really making a mistake if they go after Bobby Jindal on the basis of style. Because if you think — people on our side I’m talking to you — those of you who think Jindal was horrible, you think — in fact, I don’t ever want to hear from you ever again. … I’ve spoken to him numerous times, he’s brilliant. He’s the real deal.
Watch it:
It should come as no surprise that Limbaugh would try desperately to shield Jindal from any criticism. Limbaugh repeatedly refers to the Louisiana governor as the “next Ronald Reagan.” During his Feb. 28, 2008 radio show, Limbaugh explained that Jindal is among the small group of conservative leaders with the “guts to articulate” right-wing “Rushism” principles.
The affection between the two is growing stronger over time. Limbaugh recently praised Jindal for rejecting unemployment benefits in the stimulus package. In an interview with Limbaugh in 2007, Jindal gushed that he reads Limbaugh’s books and that he is a “huge fan” of Limbaugh’s program. In addition, Jindal proudly displays Limbaugh’s kind words for him on his campaign website, where there are links to Limbaugh transcripts and articles.

Limpballs obviously thinks Jindal is “brilliant” and “the real deal” because Jindal spent so much time spewing Limpballs’s talking points during his so-called speech last night.
Keep going, rethuglicans — yer doin’ a heckuva job!!
February 25th, 2009 at 2:32 pmC’mon Rush, put your money where your mouth is… bring him on your show… we can hardly wait!
February 25th, 2009 at 2:32 pmBecause if you think — people on our side I’m talking to you — those of you who think Jindal was horrible, you think — in fact, I don’t ever want to hear from you ever again.
If I read this correctly, Limbaugh doesn’t want to hear from anyone who thinks.
February 25th, 2009 at 2:33 pmLEE: I fully believe that when then matter is looked into, we tried to get some boats in the water early on … Those boats where not allowed to get into the water when they were needed and I just found out about seven days later one of the reason boats couldn’t get in was they didn’t have enough life preservers and some of them didn’t have proof of insurance.
Perhaps Mr. Jindal can explain how he learned that lesson during Katrina, when Harry Lee didn’t learn about it until a week later?
February 25th, 2009 at 2:34 pmBobby Jinglehead..just another lying repuglican
February 25th, 2009 at 2:34 pmSorry, off-topic, but this is too good…
George W. Bush can only muster up $150K from those interested in having him give a speech to their organizations?
Red-Ink Ronnie and Poppy Bush commanded figures of $1 and $2 MILLION for a single speech–in late ’80s and mid-90s dollars, yet. I think Bill Clinton gets about $500K for giving a speech.
Only one thing to conclude…
That’s the beauty of the free market!
ha ha
Sorry for the interruption. Please feel free to resume any Rush-bashing at any time…
February 25th, 2009 at 2:34 pm“I love Bobby Jindal, and that did not change after last night,”
Then why don’t you come out in favor of gay marriage, Rush?
February 25th, 2009 at 2:35 pmOh Lawwwwwwwwdy – it’s the drug addict Limbaugh and Bobby Jindal vs. THE WORLD!
Throw in Michael Steele and what do you get?
Hell if I know, but it’s gotta be one huge clusterf***. Man, is the GOP in trouble or what?
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
February 25th, 2009 at 2:35 pmRushbo will make a great chief-of-staff for Jindal in his new gig as a precinct captain in the suburbs of Mumbai.
Pat Buchanan just said basically Jindal was a ‘rookie’ for giving his ‘fine little speech’…What morons…
February 25th, 2009 at 2:35 pmRonnie Reagan = modest IQ but matinee idol looks and good command of public speaking, allergic to truth.
“Bobby” Jindal = Rhodes scholar, looks like Bilbo Baggins’ other nephew, wretched public speaker, allergic to truth.
I guess they match up on the only important factor Rush.
February 25th, 2009 at 2:36 pm“Rush is just playin him up – just giving him all this credit, because he’s a minority. Reminds me of the delerium of sportscasters who just talk about McNabb all the time, because you know, come on, we all know, don’t we….”
what a maroon — i love that guy — Righties wouldn’t be half as dumb as they are without his daily aid.
February 25th, 2009 at 2:37 pmAnd Bobby, upon hearing Rush stick up for him, replied by saying “And Republicans are making a big mistake if they go after Limbaugh just because he’s a big, fat, loud, drug-addicted, Dominican boy-loving, kitten-eating shitheaded liar who incites fear, hatred and bigotry whenever he speaks.”
PEACE
February 25th, 2009 at 2:37 pmHmmmm,
Looks like ‘ol Rushbowl is up to about 375#’s now. Careful with those boys, Lush, you don’t want to squash them, yaknow.
We all know his mouth is as big as his ass, but tying yourself to Bobby Jingo right now just proves you’re in this to inject chaos into the stimulus debate.
Piyush & Rush / 2012
February 25th, 2009 at 2:37 pmWhen the overweight, drug addled, gas bag, who pimps around with teenage hookers in the Dominican Republic, while hopped up on the little blue pill, speaks, the wingnuts listen!
February 25th, 2009 at 2:38 pmBut Jindal still maintains one key supporter — Rush Limbaugh. “I love Bobby Jindal, and that did not change after last night. I am going to load up a suitcase with oxycontin and Viagra and take Bobby on a trip to Dominican Republic.”
February 25th, 2009 at 2:40 pmRush: “Because if you think — people on our side I’m talking to you — those of you who think Jindal was horrible, you think — in fact, I don’t ever want to hear from you ever again.”
February 25th, 2009 at 2:41 pmUh oh, you’ve done it now, Flush…
Maybe George will still have you over for a birthday party next year, you can commiserate your mutual unemployment.
You tell them Rush, don’t let them dis your boy. Jindal/Palin 2012.
February 25th, 2009 at 2:42 pmUTTERLY hysterical. Rush “Party Before Country” Limbaugh has spoken! The Republican civil war is a joy to behold.
February 25th, 2009 at 2:42 pmRush Limbaugh – leading the GOP right off the cliff.
February 25th, 2009 at 2:42 pmLimbaugh leaped to Jindal’s defense. “I love Bobby Jindal”
Yeah, he reminds you of those underage Dominican boy prostitutes you frequent, right, Rush?
Rush dreams of a little cocktail wiener in his mouth.
February 25th, 2009 at 2:44 pmOT (I tried the TP tip line, but it doesn’t work.)
More on hypocritical repugs:
February 25th, 2009 at 2:46 pm
Lardass Lintball once said he was through carrying water for the repugs — now he is carrying water for the water boy himself.
February 25th, 2009 at 2:48 pmWhere is the Fairness Doctrine when we really need it?????
February 25th, 2009 at 2:48 pmDidn’t Rush also think that Sarah Palin was “the real deal”?
February 25th, 2009 at 2:48 pmRush just climaxed.
February 25th, 2009 at 2:49 pmAny reasonable person, conservative or liberal knows that Jindal was completely outclassed in tone, style, and substance last night. Not even Fox News could save him. Newt Gingrich didn’t even have a response to his speech. I guess he was just as speechless as Rachel Maddow and I was last night. It was just creepy and bizzare. BTW maybe the reason why people who don’t believe in god like Obama because Obama will acknowledge and respect their opinions. Unlike Limbaugh!
February 25th, 2009 at 2:49 pmWhy does a person with a face and body made for radio, want to be on TV?
February 25th, 2009 at 2:50 pmJust out…Limbaugh denies having an affair with Jindal!
February 25th, 2009 at 2:51 pmSorry to continue off topic, but I didn’t remember this during the proper speaking fees thread.
Hilary Clinton wanted $100k to speak at my college in 01 (or 02)… I went to a SUNY…and she was our Senator… Im soo glad she’s at the state department now.
Chuck showed up for graduation like he does practically every year. Schumer is the man.
February 25th, 2009 at 2:51 pmLet’s just keep making sure that Rush and his ilk are the face of the Republican Party…
February 25th, 2009 at 2:52 pmShhhh….we don’t want them to realize that they’re tying themselves to an ideological anchor.
February 25th, 2009 at 2:53 pmGetting a heartfelt endorsement from Limbaugh while the rest of your party finds you lacking must be a little like having Donald Trump defend your haircut when everybody else is laughing and pointing.
Yep — I bet with Limbaugh on his side, Jindal will get approval from a LOT of the middle-of-the-roaders he’s going to need if he’s serious about national office. (snark)
February 25th, 2009 at 2:53 pmJindal is scraping the bottom of the barrel for supporters: Limbaugh on the radio and the trolls at ThinkProgress…
February 25th, 2009 at 2:53 pmAs King of the GOP party, Limbaugh proclaims his marching orders to the rank and file…
February 25th, 2009 at 2:53 pmThe only reason Rush talks him up is he is the ONLY thing on the far right with the semblance of a brain. I think Rush has clued in on the fact America has had it with electing the moron you want to have a beer with as President.
February 25th, 2009 at 2:53 pmI was unaware that Mr. Jindal formerly resided in the Bahamas..?

“…I don’t ever want to hear from you ever again.”
Bwahhhhh! no Rush!!!! – Nothing worst than a jaded lover.
I guess his head really IS that fat!
And he still burns on Matthews for his “tingle up my leg” remark? I’m surprised he didn’t have to excuse himself here to go clean up.
February 25th, 2009 at 3:05 pmRush Limbaugh may have a ton of money, but he has nobody’s respect – at least nobody with any credibility. The GOP is being marginalized down to a few nutcases. They are disappearing before our eyes….
February 25th, 2009 at 3:06 pmAs for Rush’s commentary, Personally, before I ever take off in an airplane, I pray to the mechanics that take care of the plane so that the engines don’t quit over the ocean. AND I pray that the pilot is as skilled as the pilot that landed in the river in New York.
February 25th, 2009 at 3:08 pmOh yes, please, more of this. Endorse them ALL Rush!
That will be great for their future chances of re-election…

UTTERLY hysterical. Rush “Party Before Country” Limbaugh has spoken! The Republican civil war is a joy to behold.
That’s also “me before anyone else,” “my way or the highway,” and “my s**t don’t stink” Limpballs.
February 25th, 2009 at 3:09 pmLimpballs is generally uncritical when it comes to playing up a political mouthpiece. He carried water for Ronnie RayGun, Poppy Bu$h and GDumbya. Jindal is only his latest obsession. Meanwhile, Limpballs can overlook Jindal’s embarrassing performance from last night . . . including his smirking reference to “volcano monitoring”.
On that point, Paul Krugman concluded, “The intellectual incoherence is stunning. Basically, the political philosophy of the GOP right now seems to consist of snickering at stuff that they think sounds funny. The party of ideas has become the party of Beavis and Butthead.”
Beavis and Butthead . . . so many famous duos come to mind . . . GDumbya and Darth Cheney . . . Limpballs and Little Seanie Vanity . . . Jindal and Failin’ Palin . . . the list could go on and on.
February 25th, 2009 at 3:10 pmIf this economic crisis is the greatest threat to America’s security and Limbaugh wants President Obama to fail then President Obama should do something about Rush Limbaugh. Obama has the duty to protect and defend America and its citizens.
Rush Limbaugh is a domestic terrorist.
February 25th, 2009 at 3:10 pmOOPs. The next big thing, the messiah, the MAN…instead of making a big splash in his first nationwide shot he makes a big THUD. His delivery was so bad it was actually funny. My, oh my, how the mighty have fallen. And Rush has to resort to threats to try and get people to stay behind this guy. Simply pathetic.
February 25th, 2009 at 3:13 pmFor you tom.
February 25th, 2009 at 3:13 pmNothing like a Rush thread,

Gee, Mr. “Excellence In Broadcasting”, if you really care about Jindal’s career, why didn’t you volunteer to be his media consultant and help him with his public speaking?….Oh, you did. Hhhmm.

February 25th, 2009 at 3:17 pmLIMBAUGH: [T]he people on our side are really making a mistake if they go after Bobby Jindal on the basis of style.
He should actually read the comments of his fellow conservatives. The brightest of them (e.g. David Brooks) are criticizing Jindal based on the substance. The “style” or lack of, is only the frosting on the cake of a very poor presentation.
February 25th, 2009 at 3:19 pmRush Limbaugh is a ‘pre-existing condition’.

Folks, that is the hollow sound of JK’s only brain cell bumping into his skull.
February 25th, 2009 at 3:22 pmThese right wingnuts are barking up the wrong nut with Jindal. First of all, the guy is just butt-ugly. Okay, that’s one thing. Second of all, the guy performed exorcisms, that’s going to get play if he ever tries to go national. But here’s the most important thing that they don’t get. They have created a frankenstein in their base. And they can’t just turn that off.
If they think for one moment that the Rush and Hannity base of blue-collar racist, sexist whites, are going to want to send a FIRST generation Indian guy to the White house, they are dreaming. These guys are all hurting. The only way they know how to react to economic hurt is to blame darkie and the foreigners.
I love watching this – but Jindal is going nowhere. Book it.
February 25th, 2009 at 3:22 pm“Rush rules a group of tools!”
February 25th, 2009 at 3:23 pmJindal’s sing-song delivery and sophomoric biography made me imagine what a “Mickey Mouse Club” AA meeting might sound like: “Good evening. I’m Bobby Jindal, Governor of Louisiana…” and I’m addicted to Rush.
February 25th, 2009 at 3:24 pmI thought that (attempted) haiku might flush one out… it’s only Jerky Jonny… better than nothing though…

Jindal is shameless. To the best of my knowledge he is Catholic. The last Pope said that evolution was established scientific fact. Yet, to pander to the Evangelicals he put ID into the schools to offer “a different point of view.”
Among the 30 largest industrialized nations our 15 year olds score in the bottom 25% in math and science. So while Obama is calling post-secondary education a patriotic duty, Jindal is advocating for superstition over science.
Dumbing down our children is inexcusable. Home schooling should be illegal. It’s just nitwits crafting more nitwits.

February 25th, 2009 at 3:28 pmRush rules every ‘pharmacy’ in Tiajuana!
February 25th, 2009 at 3:28 pmThe only reason I would bother listening to Jindal’s rebuttal is a vague sense of disbelief that he actually presented the drowning of New Orleans as something the state could handle itself. They haven’t even been able to get an accurate death toll—1000 minimum. Un-flipping-believable.

Now, coward that you are its back to hit and run moronity. What can I say. Since all you can do is show how stupid you are and how the things Rush has TOLD you to belive are demonstrably stupid LIES you may as well show your stupidity in fewer words.

February 25th, 2009 at 3:45 pmTrying to defend the indefensible is something Republicans have become very familiar with. Voodoo exorcist Bobby Jindahl looked like an inept, out of touch wannabe last night and made a fool of himself and his political backers. And how does Limbaugh respond? He threatens his listeners not to call him with criticisms of the man because he still loves him? If Obama had come across as poorly as Jindahl did last night, Limbaugh would have been all over Obama and encouraging his listeners to voice their criticisms, despite the fact that Obama truly is the “real deal” in practice rather than in a fantasyland. In essence, Limbaugh can’t handle the criticisms of those who disagree with him, even when it is in the best interests of the Republican Party to do so. Hanging their hopes on the electability of Bobby Jindahl is like betting that George W. Bush will be hired as a spokesman for the ACLU. Perhaps Limbaugh’s brain should try and have a conversation with his ego and tell it to stop promoting an awkwardly miscast pretender like Bobby Jindahl. As a liberal Democrat, I have no allusions that Limbaugh has a brain let alone one with enough firing synapses to produce a rational thought. But his promotion of voodoo Bobby Jindahl to the point that he would threaten his listeners to prevent them from criticizing his unanimously panned performance last night is wholly and utterly insane.
February 25th, 2009 at 3:46 pmPoor JK he tried to actually talk to us. The problem is he is a brainwashed moron who just regurgitated Rush talking points and they were lies. Lies that we EASILY showed with FACTS to BE lies. He embarased himself now he is back to hit and run cowardice. Cant bring it if you dont have it

Yup – I recognized it as Matthews right away – and found it funny that many bloggs this morning were questioning who it was. Duhhh
I think that what caught Matthews was Jindal’s goofy crooked smile as he emerged from the shadows. Sort of like what you see when someone has brain damage on one side – or maybe the devil took over that side during one of his excorcisms? Anyhow it was laughingly creepy from the start.
Then 10 seconds into his speech I was questioning if he was auditioning for Mr. Rogers’ replacement. The unnatural fluctuations in his voice as he read sounded like someone reading to group of 1st graders – REALLY. I was shaking my head in disbelieve the whole time.
If this is the future of the Republican Party – they’re in worse trouble than I thought.
February 25th, 2009 at 4:01 pmO/T, but Had to post this. Today, after his memorable remarks on the Las Vegas/Disney train, Governor Jindal and family decided to go on vacation; And they All Went To Disney! Reality, what a Concept!
February 25th, 2009 at 4:01 pmI listened to gasbag boy for awhile today. He seemed very frustrated but almost resigned to the approval ratings the Presidents speech got last night. He sounded like he was sedated, perhaps the oxy’s? I don’t care how much he and hannity spew, I think they see the writing on the wall for the right wing nuts.
February 25th, 2009 at 4:01 pmOT…Best thing about last night was watching the fox talking parrots, they even panned jindal and their collective stammering was priceless.
February 25th, 2009 at 4:04 pm“Rush Limbaugh may have a ton of money, but he has nobody’s respect – at least nobody with any credibility. The GOP is being marginalized down to a few nutcases. They are disappearing before our eyes….”
And what is wrong with that????? I very happy aren’t YOU????
February 25th, 2009 at 4:06 pmYeeeaah even JK could not get it up for some serious a$$holery on this post. I guess Jindal’s lame speech left JK speechless. When Rush said that he would not speak to those who spoke out about Jindal, he was doing moderate republicans a favor. At least a few of the smarter less ideology driven republicans can pass the stink test.
February 25th, 2009 at 4:12 pmI remember an episode of WKRP in Cincinnati that had a Rush-like character who bloviated on radio and tv and everyone hated him (I think except for Les, perhaps). It turned out he wasn’t that bad a guy in real life.
Except we know that represented wishful thinking from fair-minded people hoping such a horrible waste of air was really just an act.
No, in reality, I expect this real life waste of air-time will soon go the way of Walter Winchell.
February 25th, 2009 at 4:17 pmThe point of Republicans rebutting Obama’s speech is to convince voters that Republicans offer a better alternative. Based on the polling numbers after last night’s speeches, the Republican rebuttal was a dismally ineffective failure. The reality is, Bobby Jindahl and the Republican Party failed to promote their agenda and in fact convinced voters that Republicans did not offer a better alternative. It makes no difference that Rush Limbaugh loves Bobby Jindahl. Bobby Jindahl’s performance last night damaged rather than advanced Republican popularity/electability. And Rush Limbaugh is only perpetuating that failure by threatening those listeners who recognize that Republicans have to offer better alternatives than the woefully over matched and inadequate voodoo exorcist Bobby Jindahl. Perhaps some of Limbaugh’s listeners actually are smarter and more loyal to their party than Mr. Limbaugh is, but as a Democrat, I’m hoping they’re not.
February 25th, 2009 at 4:23 pmWhy do you want to be ruled?
February 25th, 2009 at 4:25 pmActually, Limbaugh told his minions that they weren’t allowed to even think anything bad about Jindal!
February 25th, 2009 at 4:28 pmJindal may not be the next Ronald Reagan. He could though be the next Nancy Reagan.
February 25th, 2009 at 4:31 pmHere’s what I think…
Jindal’s poor performance was a result of pin’s being stuck into dolls by unemployed voodoo practitioners in New Orleans.
Rush should have Bobby exorcise the city right away!

There, fixed it for you.
February 25th, 2009 at 4:43 pmI sort of like the idea of Rush telling people not to talk to him. It would be too much to ask that they would actually do it. Trolls would be down to being empty Pez dispensers with an occasional spit bubble.
February 25th, 2009 at 4:46 pmJindal’s speech was horrible. But, there’s more to leadership than giving a speech. And one poor performance won’t make or break someone.
But, you have to call it what it was. A poor performance.
To be fair, it was a very tough act to follow.
February 25th, 2009 at 4:47 pmHere’s something else to ponder. If Rush is a racist, maybe he’s losing his vision, too. Someone should tell Rush: Jindal’s brown.
February 25th, 2009 at 4:50 pmI guess after 8 years of defending Bush’s awful speeches, you just can’t break the habit.
February 25th, 2009 at 4:51 pmRush must be having flashbacks to karaoke night at the Boom Boom Club in Puerto Plata.
February 25th, 2009 at 4:55 pmWow! Rush defending something thats in-defensible…shocker…
February 25th, 2009 at 5:13 pmAfter listening to the Obama speech again and the Governor Bobby Jindal response and discussions with Governor Bobby Jindal today, Governor Jindal made a lot more economic sense then the long winded rhetoric coming out of Washington last night.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:24 pmI don’t see why it’s news every time Limbaugh opens his mouth. The crap that spews out is so predictable you could write a program to replace him. Please, no more Rush stories. Every story, every blog, every mention just helps his cause.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:30 pmI think every time a Republican opens his mouth another percent or two of the population becomes either Democratic or Independent. They are so sad. By this time next year there might not even be a Republican party anymore.
I’d almost bet that they move to suspend the 2010 general election until they can figure out a way to get somebody to vote for them.
I’m predicting probably another 4-6 Democratic Senators after 2010.

February 25th, 2009 at 5:38 pmHey Republicans, need some more rope?
February 25th, 2009 at 5:46 pmWhat more proof do you need that the the Limbaugh wing of the GOP has no interest in honest debate and discussion. Jindal tanks, but Rush forbids fellow Republicans from saying so.
In all seriousness, this is a real problem for the GOP. Republican leaders need to meet with Rush privately and tell him in no uncertain terms to shut the f— up. He doesn’t speak for the Republican party, and stop pretending that he is the party’s spokesperson. He is doing incalculable damage to the party right now. Which is fine with me, since I’m a Democrat. I had always hoped for the day when the GOP would see Rush as more of a liability than an asset, and that day appears to be coming very soon.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:48 pmOK, you did your duty by thinking only good things about Bobby Jindal, just as your master, Rush Limbaugh, commanded. Be sure to give him a call to let him know that you are still one of his unthinking minions. Maybe he will reward you with some oxycontin and a reach around.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:48 pmRush looks and sounds horrible…getting obese and you can hear how windy just being excited makes him…he may be eating himself into the grave…
February 25th, 2009 at 5:50 pmYou don’t understand. With pathetic leaders like Boehner and McConnell, Rush Limbaugh has become the leader and the spokesman of the Republican Party by default. They tried to pump up Bobby Jindal as spokesperson and you saw what a disaster that was. No, Rush Limbaugh is the unchallenged voice of the Republican Party.

February 25th, 2009 at 6:07 pmRush loves Jindal because he wants to turn the rest of the USA into the deep south. Thus, the antebellum staircase, etc. I just don’t get why he was wearing that tie that looked like a candy cane.
February 25th, 2009 at 6:40 pmJindal reminded me of a dumbed down cross between howdy doody and mr rogers .what an embaqrrasment to my home state of louisiana cant wait till he runs and loses the 2012 race for president
February 25th, 2009 at 6:46 pmLimbaugh is a stupid moron who lives in his hateful past & believes he can tell the world how to behave. He will apparently never move into the present, let alone look to the future. He has become a laughable, fat, hate-filled, racist, bigoted buffoon, and everyone except his blind followers knows it.
February 25th, 2009 at 6:57 pmRush and Bobby should go on 30 rock to visit Baldwin, they are Kenniths brothers from the repugblican backwater, You show have a purty mouth rush.
February 25th, 2009 at 7:14 pmWhen will this porcine ass have a storke or a coronary and do us all a huge favor?
February 25th, 2009 at 7:19 pmThere’s a reason why the media dumped on Jindal: He’s hyping your tired, used a## ideas
February 25th, 2009 at 7:35 pmJuly 7, 2006 – 13:55 ET
On Thursday, “The Smoking Gun” website published the Homeland Security manifest, including the June 29 affidavit signed by Rush Limbaugh, concerning the conservative radio host’s customs detention in Palm Beach, Florida, last month (hat tip to Radio Equalizer).
With the headline, “Rush Limbaugh’s Dominican Stag Party,” and a sub-headline, “29 Viagra pills, two ‘24’ producers among radio star’s all-male crew,” it seems that this is likely to incite more lurid media speculation concerning why Limbaugh had Viagra on an “all boys” trip to the Dominican Republic:
February 25th, 2009 at 7:55 pmRush Limbaugh was traveling with four other men–including the producers of the hit show “24″–when he was detained over a mislabeled bottle of Viagra found in his luggage during a Customs search. A Department of Homeland security passenger manifest shows that Limbaugh and his four buddies flew from the Dominican Republic on a Gulfstream IV jet owned by Premiere Radio Networks, which syndicates his radio program. Limbaugh returned to Palm Beach, Florida on June 26 with Joel Surnow, “24″’s co-creator and executive producer and Howard Gordon, another of the Fox hit’s executive producers (Hollywood agent Jeffrey Benson was also part of the Limbaugh quintet).
The lurid implication: “With all those guys in tow, it is unclear what Limbaugh needed with those 29 100mg Viagra pills.”
Only time will tell how the media will respond to these documents. Anybody want to guess?
So according to Rush, if you don’t think as he thinks, and if you don’t say what he says, then you cease to have a valid reason for publicly expressing your opinions and ideas.
February 25th, 2009 at 8:19 pmI think the guy has read “Mein Kampf” too many times.
Jindal is Apu
Rush loves him that hired help.

Flat-out crackpot lie fabricated to push a Republican lunacy-point.

There’s nothing better for the country — and worse for the Republican party — than for Limbaugh to continue to speak as he does, while presenting himself as head of the Republican party.
He SHOULDN’T STFU!

He’s also an “unbelievable” head of the Republican Party. I can’t believe he has so much influence.
February 26th, 2009 at 1:33 pmHey Rush:
Did you know that Piyush Jindal is not a native born US citizen and cannot be president. Oh, his mother was delivered of him in a US hospital in Baton Rouge, but that doesn’t matter.
If Rush’s devotees are correct and life begins at conception, then Piyush Jindal, who was conceived in the Punjab is not a real American citizen and cannot ever be president or vice-president.
Too bad for Bobby! Too bad for Rush.
February 26th, 2009 at 3:55 pmThere’s a nice little behind-the-scenes story to Limpballs rantings here that shouldn’t be overlooked. He’s pushing hard for Jindal to be the next presidential candidate, yes. But that also means that Palin is out of the picture.
News flash to the right wingnuts: Obama’s plans will work. It will be refreshing to have a president not talk down to us and who will let us know exactly how bad things are and not hide them. Because of his honesty, he will be respected. Because of this respect, our country’s stature will grow in the world. Is it going to be difficult to overcome the total, absolute disaster the f–g repubs and Bush left us? You’d better believe it. But it will happen, despite you repubs trying to stand in the way. So nominate any token minority you want, but the presidency is Obama’s for 8 years.
February 26th, 2009 at 9:18 pmWow, Jindal, Rush and Palin are the future of the GOP???? The three muskateers almost make Bush look intelligent.
February 27th, 2009 at 9:47 amRush Limbaugh is a fat old goat ,his mouth over rides his butt,he is so fat and is begging to get and find a woman.who want a fatJERK like that .Finally people know Limbaugh is fll of bean to be nice ,he talks no sence and is realy almost set with mental problems plus to fat,his heart will give out being so fat before his mouth does hehe JERK is all i can say his ratings is only 14 milliom a week and there is 300 milllion people in usa and president had afte his speech 780 %approval rating good for Obama the hell with lard ass .
February 27th, 2009 at 11:19 amAhh… Rush Limbaugh…another Republican genius deeming himself the arbiter of intellectual superiority. He says of Lil Bobby: “I’ve spoken to him numerous times, he’s brilliant.” From Limbaugh’s Wikipedia entry: “He dropped out after two semesters and one summer; according to his mother, “he flunked everything”, even a modern ballroom dancing class.” Limbaugh…the gift that keeps on giving…
February 27th, 2009 at 12:02 pmHuff Post refused to print the following…
Hey, Piyush (call me “Bobby”, or “Billy Bob”, or “John Boy”, whatever) Jindal, why don’t we also discontinue several other kinds of monitoring, such as hurricane monitoring. That should play well in your home state, shouldn’t it?
Some of the other governors considering turning down at least part of the stimulus package — James Richard (just call me “Rick”) Perry-TX (aka Goodhair), Haley Reeves Barbour-MS, Marshall Clement (call me “Mark”) Sandford, Jr.-SC, Clement Leroy (just call me C. L. or “Butch”) Otter-ID, and Sarah Louise Palin-AK. Four of six refuse to use their first names and four of six are from hurricane-prone states.
While we’re at it, why not discontinue drought monitoring? Seems that the faith of those in the Bible Belt is being tested.
With regard to the nation’s food supply, the drought map for California looks worrisome. If the dust bowl occurs again, doesn’t look like California will be an option for the Okies this time. For a look at the current U. S. drought map, go to and look for the above-referenced states: http://www.drought.unl.edu/dm/monitor.html
And we certainly don’t need flood monitoring, do we?
The six states above represent areas where the Republican religion will surely survive floods, vermin, famine, locusts, wildfires, loose morals and the plague.
So, here’s how we can save millions in taxes for various forms of monitoring — elect a Republican governor who can pray for the “deserving” in his/her state.
February 27th, 2009 at 12:41 pmHuff Post also refused to print the following…
How’s this for a theme song for Piyush Jindal’s presidential run in 2012?
“Volcano” by Jimmy Buffett — which would likely convey the intended upbeat, “What, me worry?” vibe.
Speaking of “What, Me Worry” — take a photo of Jindal, darken his hair, put a slight space between his middle two upper incisors, and voila — you’ve got Alfred E. Neuman with tan.
To hear it for yourself, go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxuaUaS4rU0
February 27th, 2009 at 12:43 pmthose of you who think Jindal was horrible, you think — in fact, I don’t ever want to hear from you ever again.
That should really put a stop to all the bad-mouthing rush.
February 27th, 2009 at 5:41 pmI know it’s changed my mind, cause I just wanna be your friend.
In his speech at the CPAC Conference in Washington D.C, Mr. Limbaugh exhibited several telltale signs of chronic drug use including, a marble mouth delivery, a severely bloated appearance, and profuse sweating.
I hope he gets the help he needs. In the meantime we shouldn’t take him seriously.
March 2nd, 2009 at 11:24 amI hope Rush and Bobby remain so close! What better endorsement for another Big, FAT LIAR on the right?
