R-Bag's in the news again

Limbaugh says "We all agree with the Taliban and Iran" about Obama's Nobel award.

He's also looking to buy the St. Louis Rams, story about black players who will not play if the team is owned by Limbaugh.

http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/fo..._louis_ra.html

The picture in that story was taken 5 minutes from my house, and I dive there all the time. I would've loved to picked his ball off the green and chuck it into the ocean. The man doesn't have any political background or training, he flunked out of college and bounced around as a music/sports jockey before catching a break into politics. Glenn Beck has more or less the same story. I have no problem with people expressing opinion, but R-bag is too incendiary to be taken seriously. And he's gonna die during a democratic presidency.

I'm off to the valley for the weekend,

Re: R-Bag's in the news again

He's definetly a bag, but what is scary to me is he is popular because there are people who agree with the BS he spouts. I just hope the folks in the middle of the spectrum continue to outweigh the two ends.

Re: R-Bag's in the news again

I am a right-leaning moderate. I sometimes listen to him, but even when I do agree with him, I still hate him. On the other end of the spectrum, that Randy Rhodes bitch is much worse.

As far as agree-ing with the Taliban, I guess I do. I don't think he deserves the award, just as they don't. I don't hold him winning it against him, I just view it as the NPP's incompitence/bias, not his fault. I actually like his speech where he admitted that he didn't deserve it. I saw it as very appropriate and humble..................not something I see often out of him or any politician these days...........

Re: R-Bag's in the news again

Rush is just comic relief, but those that call his show and agree with the crap he spews are the really scary ones and they vote.

If you think that's scary listen to Air America sometime.

Didnt know people in politics needed credentials other than being self serving douchebags? I think the rest is in their on the job training course Sooooo many political figures have shady backgrounds, its their charisma that get them to the top of the heap...and their connections.
