Not saying this is the likeliest by any means, but who knows. And, yes, I am aware that the concept of asexuality in the absence of an established or potential physiologic issue is controversial in western medicine. But, to assume it does not occur, I think may be equally "stretching," even if one attributes that to primary psychological issues.


But, that said, I tend to agree with Mike Pappantonio's assessment of him...
Tragically it would not be the first heterosexual man to take his insecurities re: his masculinity (or physiological or psychological impotence) out on women. He and his ilck have already shown a decades-long anger towards other races driven by their insecurities at losing their long standing white privilege. All part of the same sad psychological syndrome, IMO.

Angry, insecure, impotent, bullying, masochistic woman hater, is quite more the explanation.

Unlike Rush, I don't think it's any of my business who he screws, how many partners he has, what birth control is used or who's paying for it.

Sat Mar 3, 2012, 04:06 AM
Mar 2012

has made the health and sex lives of young women his business, and that is so offensive that it is perfectly fair to ask how he got through four marriages with no children and did not use birth control.

He seems to think that this is public business.

People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. When it comes to sex, Limbaugh's house is all glass. Something does not compute.

and if the table were turned his similar details are pretty much none of our business either --- although now that he's being such an ass about Fluke people WILL treat his private business as public in retaliation.

Yes Rush...which is it. Why doesn't someone ask that in an interview or call it in to him on his show? He's not going to be comfortable with any of the reasons!

Fri Mar 2, 2012, 11:30 PM
Mar 2012

It's very possible he's impotent...he DID get caught by customs coming back from the Dominican Republic with a half-used bottle of Viagra.

The other is, he's had four "loveless marriages"--they cook and clean for him, Limbaugh pays all their bills, and he doesn't have to endure the barrage of "Rush isn't a true conservative, he isn't married" that would inevitably result.

'Course, he didn't have the balls to go to Vietnam so there's always the possibility he really doesn't have any balls.

Sorry, I don't think it's any of what most want it to be.

I think he's a bastard enough to not want kids who he'd have no choice, but to support.

34. Childless by choice doesn't make someone a "bastard"
Sat Mar 3, 2012, 07:47 PM
Mar 2012

I seem to share three things in common with Limpberger: from Missouri; no children by choice and enjoyment of cats. He's still an asshole, but being childfree isn't why he's a dick. Being a hypocritical asshole about birth control (among so many other things) makes him a dick.

I should have worded it differently. I think he hates children and is so adamant about not supporting any, that he refuses to have any. One of the many reasons he is a bastard is because of this.

I'm not saying that being childless means someone is a bastard or anything like that.

I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.

There's lots of reasons people choose to be Childfree. I almost never say this, but he's an exception: for the sake of any children he might have had, he made a good decision.

In fact, that might have been the first time I've said that about someone who might be childless by choice!

Surely there are no hypocritical women hating straight men in this world.

Straight people need to butch up and take responsibility for their own assholes and cease foisting them on the gay community.

After some particularly cowardly remarks years ago it struck me that this guy's got no balls, and once I realized that it all fell into place: the corpulent physique, lack of facial hair, generally misanthropic attitude, particular hatred of women, jealousy of people who have sex, and repeated childless marriages ending in divorce court as soon as legally possible.

The vast majority of pedophiles are straight men in relationships with women and many of them have children.
