Put in your earplugs, put on your eyeshades, you know where to put the cork: Limbaugh on Twitter

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Rush Limbaugh sent his first tweets on Thursday, announcing that he wanted to "mobilize" his "army" of listeners in a new way.

Limbaugh said he has had an account for a while, but had never used it. However, he has been more under siege than ever in the wake of his attacks on Sandra Fluke. Possibly, he has also seen how crucial Twitter has been in fueling the advertiser boycott of his show. Whatever the reason, Limbaugh told his listeners on Thursday that he would henceforth be sending them information about how they could help him via Twitter.

"Everybody has been asking me what they can do to help in all of this, and I've been saying, nah, just do what you've been doing just, if you listen, keep listening, that's fine, but there's an army out there that wants to be mobilized, and so, I figured, use Twitter for it," he said. "I'm just going to put some things on Twitter that you can help us circulate. It's that simple -- you just retweet them."

Limbaugh even assured his listeners that "you don't have to follow anyone but me."

Welcome to the Camp,
I guess you all know why we're here.
My name is Tommy
And I became aware this year

If you want to follow me,
You've got to play pinball.
And put in your earplugs
Put on your eyeshades
You know where to put the cork

Hey you getting drunk, so sorry!
I've got you sussed.
Hey you smoking Mother Nature!
This is a bust!
Hey hung up old Mr. Normal,
Don't try to gain my trust!
'Cause you ain't gonna follow me any of those ways
Although you think you must

Guests:
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it

We're not gonna take it
Never did and never will
We're not gonna take it
Gonna break it, gonna shake it,
let's forget it better still

Tommy: Now you can't hear me,
your ears are truly sealed.
You can't speak either,
your mouth is filled.
You can't see nothing,
and pinball completes the scene.
Here comes Uncle Ernie to guide you to
Your very own machine.

Guests:
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it

We're not gonna take it
Never did and never will
Don't want no religion
And as far as we can tell
We ain't gonna take you
Never did and never will
We're not gonna take you
We forsake you
Gonna rape you
Let's forget you better still.

Tommy:
See me.
Feel me.
Touch me.
Heal me.

Listening to you,
I get the music.
Gazing at you,
I get the heat.
Following you,
I climb the mountains.
I get excitement at your feet.

Right behind you,
I see the millions.
On you,
I see the glory.
From you,
I get opinions.
From you,
I get the story.

5. Dittoheads on Twitter, following Limbaugh!

That's like zombies following The Blob That Ate New York.

That sounds like a pretty funny movie.
But, following Rush on Twitter makes them all look like sycophants.
They'll just sign on and say, "Ditto".

Wow, what a thrill.
Or, they'll all be thinking "What did Rush say today on Twitter? Whattdid he say? Huh? Whattdid he say today?"

They have no life of their own, and yet Rush thinks he gains energy from talking to them.
He truly is the King of The Dipshits!

7. Or maybe more like the cav following Custer
