Last week, big fat drug addict and radio host Rush Limbaugh said on his show that he hopes President Obama "fails" and went on to sharply criticize Republicans who've said they hope Obama succeeds. Pretending to not be one of them, Limbaugh said, "If I wanted Obama to succeed, I'd be happy the Republicans have laid down. I hope he fails."
His comments brought angry responses from Democrats and Republicans alike. And rightly so: With America teetering on the brink of collapse, there's perhaps never been a time when it was more important for our president to succeed. Republican lawmakers realize that in order to fix the country, we need to put partisan bickering aside and get things done. But without partisan bickering, Rush Limbaugh is left with nothing but empty prescription bottles and empty KFC buckets. Thus, his idiotic comments.
In repudiating Limbaugh, Republican Rep. Phil Gingrey of Georgia told Politico, "It's easy if you're Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh or even sometimes Newt Gingrich to stand back and throw bricks. You don't have to try to do what's best for your people and your party." Then Gingrey got a backlash of his own: Conservatives flooded his office with phone calls, forcing him to, as school children say, "take it back."
What his mouth giveth, his vagina taketh away. His lady parts released a statement which included: "I regret and apologize for the fact that my comments have offended and upset my fellow conservatives. That was not my intent. As long as I am in the Congress, I will continue to fight for and defend our sacred values. I have actively opposed every bailout, every rebate check, every so-called 'stimulus.' And on so many of these things, I see eye-to-eye with Rush Limbaugh."
And his sheeplike constituents ate it all up.
