Rush offers advice for women, obsesses over "anal poisoning"

http://www.salon.com/opinion/walsh/politics/2009/05/15/limbaugh_pelosi/

Rush Limbaugh, Dick Cheney’s favorite GOP leader, has some advice for women in politics: If they ever want to be equal, Nancy Pelosi has to resign as House speaker, over her statement that the CIA wasn’t honest with her in its 2002 briefing about interrogation techniques.

Listen up, ladies. Rush wants you to get ahead. Here’s what he said Friday: "We are going to learn soon, folks, if women are the equal of men. We are going to learn very soon if women can finally break the glass ceiling. And you know what the test is? Let me tell you what the test is. Will Nancy Pelosi resign as speaker of the House? That's the test." He went on to say “if women really want equal treatment," "there is no better benchmark" than Pelosi resigning as her disgraced predecessors Jim Wright and Newt Gingrich had to. (Thanks to Media Matters, whose folks listen to Rush so we don’t have to.)

We know that feminism is a key Limbaugh obsession, and another one also turned up on his show today: Anal poisoning. "Obama knows he's being followed around by a bunch of sycophants who are going to die of anal poisoning,” the big man intoned. If you’re keeping score at home, you might want to know that this is at least the fourth time Limbaugh referenced “anal poisoning” in two years -- he previously said British Prime Minister Gordon Brown would get it from "slobbering" over Obama, Sen. Lindsay Graham might catch it due to his closeness to Sen. John McCain, and former Democratic National Committee chairman Terry McAuliffe "will die of anal poisoning because he is so close to drilling Hillary (Clinton)."

I'm a grown woman and the mother of a college student, I think I'm pretty worldly, but I was honestly not familiar with the term or the condition of anal poisoning, so I used the Google. Scanning 24 pages, I found no reference to anal poisoning that didn’t reference Limbaugh. Apparently it’s a condition he named himself, perhaps after one of his sex tours to the Caribbean?
