Limbaugh is CLEARLY off his meds...or maybe ON them...after Jon Stewart's announcement.



Rush Limbaugh Thinks He Knows The Real Reason Jon Stewart Is Leaving 'The Daily Show'

"For 16 years Jon Stewart has blamed everything gone wrong on the Republicans," Limbaugh said Wednesday, later calling him a "liberal" first and a "comedian" second. "Jon Stewart has helped polarize the country by poisoning the Republican brand."

On Tuesday, the Comedy Central host announced on his show that he would be stepping down, explaining that he felt "restless." Limbaugh took this as a sign that Stewart did not want to be a part of what is to come for Democrats in the future.

He went after Stewart for his long-standing support of President Barack Obama, or, as Limbaugh referred to him, the man who "made health insurance unaffordable" and "took smiles off of people's faces."

"Stewart's a funny guy, but he lacks an appreciation of federalism and he lacks an understanding of the harm caused by Obama's cult of personality that also sucked him in," he continued. "Jon Stewart helped grease the tracks for the most destructive presidency in many of our lifetimes."

I'm old enough to remember when liberal was a four letter word, which happened long before Jon Stewart was on the TV machine.

rush limbaugh lives in the middle of a rush limbaugh- centered sphere...

and on the surface of that sphere are millions of 1mm diameter holes

and from 11am to 2 pm, millions of ignorant, old, angry, hateful, whitebread conservative nitwits all congregate around the outside of the sphere and insert their worthless white needle- dicks into the 1 mm holes and then rush spends the next 3 hours jerking them all off.......

nerve calling Stewart polarizing. Limbaugh is the most toxic, noxious, obnoxious, unpatriotic, and polarizing hatemonger polluting the airwaves today. Take another pill any STFU already.

I didn't notice anything specific. There was this nebulous sentence: "Limbaugh took this as a sign that Stewart did not want to be a part of what is to come for Democrats in the future." That's it? That's enough to satisfy his listeners? Why would Stewart quit over "what is to come"? What is to come for Democrats? Armageddon? An alien invasion? A zombie apocalypse?

...from hitting so much low-hanging fruit all these years. Dingbats AND Washington politicians is enough fodder to feed most comedians. But when the Teabaggers got started.... whew!

- It was bound to get 'em in the end, there were jokes everywhere he looked.......

Says the Bloated Wind Bag Divine. Rush is the biggest con artist in many of our lifetimes. That idiots out there flock to his brand of lunacy hatred, is very very sad. Good to know the biggest Asshole on radio is still losing money and brands. Rush having an opinion on anything is amusing but pathetic commentary on the fast food pundits the seem bent on destroying real journalism.
