Tell me about Rush's arrest for gay cruising.....

[Dookus]

Since Rush and his minions are here in force today, could somebody tell me the whole story about the Jeff Christie/Rush Limbaugh arrest for gay cruising? I've heard references here, but have never heard the whole story.

If anybody has info, bring it on. Let the Rushbots know all about his shady past.

[Loonman]

1. He looked worse then than he does now

If that's possible.

Big fat ass, Martin Mull mustache.

4. Here's What He Looked Like Back Then

(Rush - aka Jeff Christie - is the one on the right.....)

[Beaker]

16. what a fashion-plate...

ugly stripe-print pants, white belt, mis-matched ugly print shirt, and and mis-matched ugly print tie...yep, he's a repuglican.

[kclown]

20. Great photo! n/t

[BigMcLargehuge]

22. Yeeesh... looks like Gacy

I wonder if he used to dress up like a clown and entertain kids... More importantly, has anyone ever checked his crawlspace?

[Hubert Flottz]

21. Riddle me this my friend!

Is the medical condition that Mr L had serious enough to warrant a military deferment?

PILONIDAL CYSTS

snip>
"If the cyst becomes infected over and over, and does not go away on its own, then surgery may be advisable to remove the cyst. Such surgery must be done in an operating room but can usually be done as outpatient surgery, allowing the patient to return home an hour or two after the procedure is completed. There usually is little post-operative pain, and most people can return to work within the next day or two."

IMO there HAD to be another reason! I have a heart condition that I have had since birth and they took my young arse pimples and all!

27. So let me get this straight. H e had a gay mentor.. and got a anal cyst?

Well .. err ok

[CO Liberal]

28. NO....FIRST The Cyst, THEN The Mentor

:-)

[MrBenchley]

3. It was common knowledge in Pittsburgh

That's why he had to ditch the Jeff Christie name...

[5thGenDemocrat]

5. Wait -- do you mean to tell me Rush might be gay?

I knew he was an oxycontin addict, but that's the first I've heard about The Gay Thing.
John
Now, could someone tell me about how Rush ducked the draft because he had an infected anal pimple? That's what I want to hear about.

[bryant69]

6. It was a cyst

And it was a legitimate reason--even if it is embarrasing.

15. maybe a legit reason

But, if a Democratic presidential candidate had avoided the draft for that reason, I'm sure we'd never have heard the end of the snickering...

[bryant69]

19. Well exactly

And those tactics are pretty lousy. Witness what some are trying to do to Dean.

But in Rush's case (unlike, in my opinion, Dean's case), there are so many other reasons to rip into him. So many wierd, and stupid, and hateful statements he's made. Why waste time on trivialities?

32. Maybe because it is the chickenhawks who think war is a very noble,

patriotic thing to do.....as long as it is someone else who is doing the fighting and dying.

We are facing that prospect in Iraq now, precisely because the Bush, Cheney's Wolfiwicz's, Perle's, Limbaugh's and Hannity's shriked their call to duty. Perhaps if they had experienced war firsthand, they be less inclined to send our families off to fight for the Fatherland.

33. When Are Dubya's Daughters Gonna Enlist???

I mean, if it's so noble a cause, shouldn't he and Pickles be willing to sacrifice their kids, too????

[no name no slogan]

25. I get cysts on my arse all the time...

...that's what happens when you work a job where you spend 60+ hours in a chair behind a computer all day. All you need is a sterilized sharp object of some type, some rubbing alkyhol, and an understanding spouse with the constitution of a drill sergeant to get rid of 'em.

I doubt that would be enough to get ANYBODY out of the draft. I bet he was hitting on the recruiter, and they flagged him "4F" outright.

[knight_of_the_star]

36. Not right

Good info, but I REALLY did NOT need to hear that one!

[SpiralHawk]

7. Rush avoided the draft using an Anal Cyst as an excuse?

OMG I had no idea.

The things one learns hanging out at DU. Why, I think I'll start hanging out here more, and learning more interesting things that Fox News seems to have been overlooking.

An "ANAL CYST?" You don't say. My, my - this is interesting.

A man with an anal cyst and a drug-addiction problem. Could he have been taking the drugs for his anal cyst? Or could the anal cyst/gay cruising thing be related, and the drugs be the way he was trying to blot out his shameful past so he could live with himself and his hypocrisy?

Gosh, there are so many questions.

Will have to meditate on this.

[maggrwaggr]

8. and why he changed his name from Jeff to "Rush"

the drugs give you a nice Rush, so much so that Jeff changed his name to Rush.

[5thGenDemocrat]

9. No kidding -- my grandmother G's nickname was "Rush"

I don't think she was an oxycontin addict, though.
John
I don't think she was gay, either.

[CO Liberal]

12. Rush Was His Original Name

He was named after his father and grandfather.

[MarkTwain]

18. Actually, RUSH....

... was the brand name of Poppers which were organic compound derivatives of Amyl Nitrate. Amyl nitrate,a vaso-dilolator when used in a medical enviornment in cardiac matters, "popped" when the vial was broken to release the inhalant.

A side effect of these compounds was the hightened sensitivity and muscle relaxant (i.e., anal sphincters) during sexual activity. These were commonly and some say extensively used, during the seventies and eighties, within the gay community - and, amongst sexually enlightened heterosexuals.

"Rush." "RUSH." Hmmmmm. Very interesting, indeed. Conincedence? Some think not.

Although for purposes of disclaimer, no self-respecting gay person would ever want to embrace Limbaugh as a member of their group - directly, indirectly, or by branding inference.

[5thGenDemocrat]

24. Named after his father and grandfather

Were they oxycontin-popping, draft-dodging homosexuals too?
John
Or is that more of a recent thing?

[mac56]

10. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

nm

[Manix]

11. wow...Lowbrow is gay!!...too much....ROFLMAO

nt

[MIMStigator]

13. Drug addict is guru of right wing. This isn 't surprising

nt

[LuminousX]

14. So you are saying there was a possibility he engaged in homoerotic acts

to score drugs?

[bubba_fett]

35. HA! Rush is a strawberry!!!

n/t

[Nlighten1]

17. A homosexual, pill-popping hater is...

a front man for the Republican party?


It is to laugh...

[CO Liberal]

23. Kick

Let's keep these kicked so all the freeper dittohead trolls will see it.

:kick:

[MarkTwain]

26. Kick !

[dsc]

29. I know this is a lost cause

but sometimes I just won't quit. Just how are gay teachers supposed to convince people that gay teachers don't begat gay students if a left wing discussion board spreads the idea that gay mentors begat gay mentees. Those are basicly the same argument. Again, just what should I tell parents who tell me that? I would really love to know.

[Kamika]

31. lol CHILL OUT omg

We're just playing the same game as Rush is

[dsc]

34. Yeah

and maybe now you realize that your ultimate target ends up being the very same people. When you traffic in hurtful stereotypes, shock of shocks, you wind up hurting people.

[snippy]

30. Was this arrest before or after he was on welfare?
