Limbaugh Called Spears & Hilton "Twats" On The Air Today...
All in defense of McCain's ad.

"Twits, twats, whatever"

There's your wonderful, wonderful Republican party for you.

I really, really don't understand how any pro-woman person could vote for these pigs.

12. In Britain, the first definition is the one most commonly used
However, Limbaugh isn't British.

20. I know that, I meant the SAME word.
The one that starts with C. I think it would bring an FCC fine.

2. Say what you will about Senator McCain
The Senator has never called his (second) wife a "twat."

26. Here's what I'd like to see:
Some "Billionaires for Bush"-style street theater in which participants dress up like the 2nd. Mrs. McCain and march as "C**ts for McCain."

3. It does not surprise me
no respect for women...you do not have to go far to confirm how Republicans treat their women: McCain calls his wife the C word in public...I rest my case

5. That's what the Hiltons put their money behind.. mccain

Nice caring parents.

30. I reported it to the FCC... I'm not disgussing this any further.. because
I don't want to give Rush Limbaugh any more extra audience than he already has. I'm not sure how that man can still trick so many so called Christians into listening to his hate garbage.

14. You don't really want to mess with the Hiltons...
Britney didn't come from money. She made herself big with her pop music act, and then she made herself a household name with her outrageous behavior. Limbaugh's in her class, except he doesn't have any talent.

Hilton, however, is from old money. If the Hilton family wanted to, they could inflict a world of pain on Limbaugh that no amount of oxycontin could ever wash away.

16. Limbaugh On Britney And Paris
By Andrew Riley • Jul 31st, 2008

I was listening to Rush Limbaugh this morning, and I heard him say something that made me laugh, gasp, and then laugh again. I was able to get it recorded, so I’ll just let you listen to it. I suppose it can and will be considered offensive to some people, so if you’re easily offended… don’t listen, don’t read any more of this post, and just go away.

Audio here: http://www.allamericanblogger.com/media/rush-twats.mp3

I suppose that could be played off as a slip of the tongue. On the other hand, I think calling Britney Spears and Paris Hilton “twats” is probably a pretty accurate description. Either way, thanks for the laugh, Rush.

By the way, tomorrow is the 20th Anniversary edition of the Rush Limbaugh show. It’s hard to believe he’s had his national show for twenty years now. It’s also pretty impressive. If you love him, hate him, or are like me and just take everything he says with a grain of salt, you have to admire what he has accomplished.

Republicans and their shitty family values:

HuffPo has a link to the strip.....errr burlesque club's website (I think they're doing maintenance atm.) Check out the girls hanging from the ceilings while doing splits photos.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/07/30/gop-rep-sessions-held-fun_n_115791.html

Yea, "family values" yea...ha.ha.



http://blog.washingtonpost.com/sleuth/2008/07/conservative_rep_sessions_star.html

Here's a partial transcript of the Marketplace interview:

Sessions: That's right, we do a Las Vegas fundraiser every year and not only raise money, but see Las Vegas. It's a beautiful town.

Henn: Forty Deuce is a strip club.

Sessions: You know, I've never seen that. It is what I would call a burlesque show where there's a woman who comes out and has a dress on... Uh, she never get's naked. There's no nudity, there's no nudity in there.

This is how the club's owner, Ivan Kane, describes his brand of burlesque.

Ivan Kane: The key component would be to have girls who were dancers taking their clothes off, not just girls taking their clothes off.

But the Forty Deuce Web site does not suggest the dancers are nude. And Sessions' chief of staff, Guy Harrison, tells the Sleuth there was no nudity at the fundraiser at all, just good old fashioned burlesque.

"It was as racey as a 1940's movie," Harrison assured us.

Still, it's probably a good thing that Sessions was given his "true blue" award from the Christian conservative Family Research Council and Focus on the Family organizations before holding his burlesque fundraiser. Just a hunch.

Sessions' PAC, called People of Enterprise, Trade and Economic Growth, paid $5,378 to rent out the entire Forty Deuce club last year, according to federal election records. (Instead of going burlesque, Sessions held his PAC's annual Vegas fundraiser this year at the 40/40 sports lounge owned by hip-hop mogul Jay-Z.)

Sessions himself has been known to have an exhibitionist streak -- streak being the operative word.

In 1974, as a college freshman, he participated in a mass streaking rampage across the campus of what was then called Texas State University. As the Sleuth, in a previous incarnation, reported in this subscription-only Roll Call newspaper column in 2004, Sessions bragged about his streaking abilities to the San Antonio News. At the time, he was two weeks shy of his 19th birthday.

"Just taking off your clothes and running around is kind of a free spirit thing," Sessions said.


The enchanting article gives some more details....

33. This will go over great with all the Mormons in Idaho. Rush is the #1 station here in Boise.
I hope they had their ears washed out later.
I can't imagine all of those folks listening to that garbage and then pretending that they are holier than me.

Well, actually I can, I live it every day. :(

36. And McCain called his wife a c*nt
so I guess he and Rush are two of kind. How any woman -- regardless of her party -- could even consider voting for a man who called his wife the c-word, is absolutely mind-boggling. Or maybe they're just used to being called the same thing by their own Republican husbands. Disgusting.
