Let's file this under compassionate conservative fatigue:

LIMBAUGH: All right, well, let's just have them [the possibility of three civil wars in the Middle East]. Let's just have the civil wars and let the crumbs crumble and the cookie crumble where -- because I'm fed up with this...

...I mean, everybody comes to us: "You got to fix this and you got to fix that." So we go and try to fix it, and our own people, Democrats and the left in our country do their best to sabotage our efforts, and then we get blamed for trying to clean up the messes that these people start...

Hmm, I love the idea that the American Left trying to sabotage the resounding policy failures is a bad thing. Of course, that's not really what Rushbo's trying to say; he's trying to say that if the Left just shut their stinking traps and supported the team for which he cheerleads, they might be able to score a touchdown -- but they'll never find their way to the goalposts with all that distracting booing! So he's just giving up.

Fine, just blow the place up.

"Wait, wait -- let me get my ball first!"

Just let these natural forces take place over there instead of trying to stop them, instead of trying to use -- I just -- sometimes natural force is going to happen. You're going to have to let it take place. You can spend all the time you like with diplomacy, and you can spend all the time you want massaging these things with diplomatic -- you're just -- you're just delaying the inevitable.

Wow, get me a buttload of Oxycontin stat so I, too, can medicate myself into believing that Bush is a great statesman and what we've been doing in the Middle East for the past three years is diplomatic massage.

What more do you expect??? [Report this comment] Posted by: JoshuaLudd on Nov 28, 2006 7:36 AM Current rating: 5 [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] ... from a former wellfare recipient, criminal drug addict who is "tired" of this whole conflict... he's had enough of sitting on his rear flapping his gums for a huge paycheck while this goes on. It is no surprise because. A. he has no respect for human life. B. he has no investment in this conflict... won't serve himself, no kids to have serve... etc... As usual, Rush doesn't think for one second before he says anything... and sadly, he has the maturity of a rowdy teen. I always hear about how "intelligent" he is. Well, if he has intellect, he surely lacks any real wisdom. [« Reply to this comment] [Post a new comment »] [Rate this comment: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5] save this Rush quote...

Since Dubya didn't listen to anybody but Cheney and Rumsfeld, I guess we went over to Iraq all by our lonesomes and organized them ourselves, under cover. Funny, considering that most Iraqis don't even know what the heck the left in the U.S. even is. This guy comes from a place of total powerlessness and fear. Reality is creeping in and he's so frantic. Question, why are people still listening to this guy? He's got so many deep seated psychological problems that he projects onto the issue of the day, it's just pathetic.

Let's cut to the quick: Should anyone besides us be allowed to live? Pat: Well, Rush, I'm happy to be here. Let me make one thing perfectly clear: GENOCIDE! GENOCIDE! Rush: Well! Huh! Ah! I'm sure we all know what that means! Psst... wanna buy some ice? I know where you can get some cheap male hookers...

It was a Republican president who lied about WMD. Why doesn't this gasbag explode from hot air? Ooooh wait a minute....for the last 3 1/2 years Bush has denied there is any civil war..........Iraq is just "on the verge" of civil war..........and now we should just blow up Iraq.....how about a nuclear bomb? Or Rush could send al the Iraquis an overdoes prescription of Oxycotin and they could commit suicide - lets just annihilate the entire population of Iraq, sort of like what we did to Native Americans and exterminate. Like Hitlers "Final Solution" with the Jews.....I know Rush would agree with that [« Reply to this comment] [Post a new comment »] [Rate this comment: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5] Bloated gasbag [Report this comment] Posted by: outlander55 on Nov 28, 2006 6:12 PM Current rating: Not yet rated [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] Nothing that bloated gasbag drug addict says anymore surprises me. One thing we can all agree on is Rush Limpbag is a misled, lying, bigoted, racist asshole. There used to be standards in broadcasting, but alas, no more. They will let anyone spout anything as long as they don't use the "N" word (God Forbid!!!). But they have forsaken the "I" word: Integrity....

[Report this comment] Posted by: monkeywrench on Nov 28, 2006 9:09 PM Current rating: Not yet rated [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] Here's a thought that too many people ignore: why does anybody give a crap what Limbaugh, a hillbilly-heroin addicted talk show loudmouth, thinks? If, like Joseph McCarthy, people stopped giving this guy influence that he does not possess on his own, he'd blow away like two lines of coke in a hurricane. Simply put, his "power" is solely and completely derived from our weakness. [« Reply to this comment] [Post a new comment »] [Rate this comment: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5] Makes good sense! [Report this comment] Posted by: slydad on Nov 30, 2006 5:25 AM Current rating: Not yet rated [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] The Democrats took both houses of Congress and all the talk is about us getting out of there. Then they want to let Syria and Iran in to fix the Iraq problem. That’s real smart, isn’t it? Why don’t we just let the Cryps and the Bloods solve the drug problem in the inner cities too? If we’re going to do these things, we might as well just pull out, let the civil war begin and see where the chips fall.
