Limbaugh jokes: ‘Would a white male judge have fractured his ankle’ in the same way Sotomayor did?

Supreme Court nominee Judge Sonia Sotomayor broke her right ankle today after stumbling at La Guardia airport in New York. According to a spokesperson, she was treated at George Washington University Hospital and released to attend “her full schedule of meetings on Capitol Hill this afternoon.” Conservative talker Rush Limbaugh couldn’t resist making a joke in response to the news of her injury. Noting the incident on his radio show today, Limbaugh wondered aloud whether a “white male” would have broken his ankle under similar circumstances:

LIMBAUGH: She fractured her ankle in an airport. She stumbled in the airport on her way to senate meetings. Now, the question is, would a white male judge have fractured his ankle in the same circumstances in the same airport on the way to Senate meetings?

Watch it:

Rush’s “joke” was an apparent reference to a comment Sotomayor made in a speech on diversity in 2001.

    Why are we still commenting on what he said?

    He is irrelevant.


  2. makete says:

    No but an old white male would like more oxy-cottin.


  3. JohnM says:

    No she obviously would have broken her ankle better than a white male would.


  4. spearNmagicHelmet says:

    I agree with # 1. Same thing every day, Rush says something stupid, we parrot it and say how dumb he is.

    Over and over again.

    I want off this ride.


  5. hellinabucket says:

    not if the judge was William Rehnquist. He’d be so stoned he wouldn’t know it was broken.

    – - I knew the Krill Master would pounce. But hey Rush, I bet she doesn’t resort to the oxycontin for relief.


  10. spencers mom says:

    All I know is that ,if Rush were to stumble, I’d hope to be far out of the way. Being landed on by that 2-ton tub of lard has gotta hurt.

    Seriously, what percent of his listeners tune in just to laugh at how ridiculous he is?

  40. ralph the wonder locust says:

    barfly, I don’t want to underestimate C4Pee’s powers of self-delusion, but I suspect that he doesn’t really think he and his ilk have the moral high ground.

    I suspect he’s just content to drag everyone else down to share his mud puddle.


  41. backup says:

    I think the bigger story today on Limbaugh is this:

    Limbaugh was commenting on Evan Thomas’s (newsweek editor) comment that Obama is ’sort of God’ on Matthews:

    http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=95a_1244258652

    To counter that notion, Limbaugh remarked (in part) that Obama is ‘part black, part white…’; in order to in prove Obama’s humanity.

    The question is this: Does Obama’s race more clearly indicate his humanity? If Obama were all white, would the characterization of ‘God’ be more difficult to refute?

    How does noting Obama’s race make the case for his humanity more convincing?

    The Sotomayor comment is a sarcastic response to her ‘Latino woman’ remark.

    The ‘part black, part white’ remark is more indicative of prejudice.

    Said Limbaugh: “It is offensive to the sensibilities of millions of people to hear a member of the state-run media refer to a half-black, half-white human being with no experience running anything of substance referred to as a god. He may be president of the United States, but he’s not a god.”

    No, you again miss the point. For some reason you asked of a progressive, “You seem to be quite interested in his sexual habits! What does that say about you!”

    This implies that you pay attention when someone notes another’s sexual habits, and you connect that with some undeclared psychological diagnosis.

    I wondered if, when your conservative brethren note the sexual habits of others (i. e., the homosexual “lifestyles” of those who wish to marry their same sex partners) those same standards applied.

    As far as I know, neither the President nor the Vice-President has made any statement regarding the sexual habits of gay people, so your attempt to distract from the subject at hand is not only lame, but transparent as well.

    Two very good examples of liberals who just can’t help insulting anyone they disagree with.

    Don’t you know when you start calling someone fat or talking about murdering their friends you’ve pretty much lost any argument?

    So Romartin is on the record as believing that insulting another poster means “you’ve pretty much lost any argument”.

    Good to know.

    Romartin, I was being sarcastic. calling someone meaningless is not a very harsh insult, its more of a statement of opinion. Although calling someone a racist when they are not, is an insult. but calling someone a racist when they ARE is not an insult, it is a call for shame. Race card, I think is the only thing rush can play now-a-days. Although listening to radio? who does that? we don;t even get talk radio in my state. except 1 station about sports.

    Of course, Bush has an excuse for stumbling.

    He was plastered.

    Romart, you think Rusty is enviable because he makes millions. I’m pointing out that he’s a pathetic loser who has to use that money for sex and companionship. Love and friendship is a better measure of humanity than a paycheck.


  117. micalpeace says:

    Would someone please explain to me why this embarrassment is allowed to be on a public forum? Everything that comes out of his mouth is hateful and vengeful. This man is just like the Billo’s and the rest at Fox. He is dangerous and not in a cool way. he is dangerous because there are dangerous people who listen to him and believe what he says. there is a solution. Stop listening to him. When did it become ok again for fat white men to spew racists and prejudice comments publically again?


  118. Zooey says:

    Limbaugh is a pathetic blob of goo.


  119. Rodeskawler says:

    Lol, Mary Lacewing

    Regarding Limbaugh’s white male comment, if the white male judge is a Republican, he would have a greater chance, than average white males, of breaking his ankle at an airport for two possible reasons:

    1) He is wearing high heels.

    2) His shoes are slicker, because he spent an excessive amount of time in the airport bathroom.

    Funny stuff Rodeskawler…

    COProgressive Says:

    Why are we still commenting on what he said?

    He is irrelevant.

    And I concur. El Rushbo has nothing better else to do but to continue his nonsense racist rhetoric on Sotomayor. Instead of the gas bag joking about Sotomayor’s broken ankle, he should be worrying about his 365 day, all around, and trimester winter weight that he has been carrying around.


  122. pax says:

    I don’t understand along with many posters why we continue to report on this guy!
    Please please ignore him!


  123. OutstandingInAPlagueOfLocusts says:

    would a white male judge have fractured his ankle in the same circumstances in the same airport on the way to Senate meetings?

    Well sure, the laws of physics apply to everyone. I do admire anyone who can shrug off a fractured ankle and get back to business. I suspect R. L. could not do so, but then the laws of gravity probably do affect him more.

    Uhhh, you can’t fix stupid.

    You can beat it into unconsciousness though.

    Fcuk off, verminous traitor.


  125. neoconsrscum says:

    C’mon, FATASS! All you can think about is another excuse to get your sweaty chubby d*ck- beaters on some OxyContin!


  126. wiley says:

    For whatever it’s worth, Rush Limbaugh is the voice of the Republican party. TP also reports elected officials saying things that are no less asinine.


  127. Romartin16985 says:

    yes locust, continue as hall monitor as thats about all you will probably get right.



  128. cdwriteme says:

    I hate Rush, but I must admit this would be a perfect time for him/it to try to get Sotomayor in for an interview by offering some Oxycontin.


  129. Marnie says:

    A wise latina, and anybody else with compassion an empathy would, however have shown some sympathy.

    On the other hand there are white make druggies who can’t keep their back sides corked up.

    And all the rest of us normal people would read the article, think “Gee, Too bad. Yeah I stumble sometimes too.” And get go on with their lives.


  130. eyeswideopen says:

    Why don’t one of you young kids, get organized and send complaints about limbaugh to the damn station that pays him 400 million? I so want to see you guys use the power of the internet to stop idiots like him.


  131. SpoxLogic says:

    Only if his foot got stuck while he was trying to kick you in the a**, Rush. Only if his foot got stuck.
