RUSH: "Not only am I God’s gift to Obama, I’m God’s gift to women.”

“Right now it really seems like we’ve got this godsend named Rush Limbaugh who has dropped this thing in our lap,” O’Neill said. “Which is just wonderful. But the road ahead is really not gonna be completely rosy. We’ve got to be very clear on what the challenges are, and very clear about how we can move our own agenda forward in the current political climate.”

Earlier this month, NOW called on Clear Channel to pull the plug on Limbaugh’s show in the wake of his derogatory comments about Fluke.

“I thought they were outraged,” Limbaugh said. “I thought they were offended. I thought it was the worst thing they ever heard anybody say. Now it’s ‘wonderful.’ What a political opportunity.”

Limbaugh, who refers to NOW members as “Nags” (an acronym for the “National Association of Gals”) continued: “A godsend! The Nags called me a godsend. So not only am I God’s gift to Obama, I’m God’s gift to women.”

He lost just about all his advertisers.... poor guy. I think I'm going to start a donation drive to help him out. I've got an old pair of boots I threw out, but before I did I cut the straps off and saved them, I think I'll send them to him, sounds like he could use them.

I'd suggest everybody else do likewise, let's help the poor guy out.

Everybody else prays to God, I am god. Obama must be really powerful, he made Rush say and act stupid and is now taking advantage of poor Rush.

Hubris. But yeah, Rush Limbaugh has dug himself into a hole so deep they have to pump sunlight and oxygen to him.

I hate it when my beautifully constructed quip is spoiled by a stupid typo and my general inability to proofread my own posts.

I guess one could call that unbrudled hibris.
