Rush Limbaugh Wants You to Hear His Crazy Osama/Obama Theory

Comments

What if Reagan made an arms for hostages deal and told Iran to hold the hostages until after the election? It only makes sense to neocons who would agree to betray the country for political gain.

What if Bush II, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Feith, Rice, Bolton, Powell, et al. didn't bother going after bin Laden because they knew he was worth far more to the military-industrial complex as a bogeyman to haunt the dreams (and insure the support) of average Americans?

@2
That sounds far more logical.
And it explains why none of those people were pushing to find bin Laden all the years when they had the political power to do so.

all of this is filled w/awesome.

But I definitely think we should pursue/promote the Limbaugh angle.

All these things would be a bureaucratic nightmare.

Foonken2 on September 13, 2012 at 6:36 PM

Al Franken was right

sperifera on September 13, 2012 at 6:36 PM

I don't know which bothers me more - Limbaugh's voice or Constant's writing? They're equally full of themselves.

@2, ah yes, the famous press conference months after 9/11 where Bush said he didn't spend a lot of time thinking about bin Laden. He had his pretext, and was enjoying his war.

@7 To me it has to be Constant's naive, two-dimensional tribalism.

We all know Rush Limbaugh is not an authority on anything but Dr. shopping and the sex trade. But he's the real whore for selling low margin EIB toilet seats and soap.

@3 It's straight from the works of Josef Goebbels.

@7 Nice try, corporate shill.

9, 10 - Two-dimensional tribalism? Corporate shill? Sorry, I don't have the energy to speak those dialects this evening.

dnt trust me on September 13, 2012 at 7:25 PM

It's as good an explanation for that hateful fat windbag's existence as any.

Brooklyn Reader on September 13, 2012 at 7:34 PM

What if Rush Limbaugh got a real job working for a pay cable or satellite network instead of mooching off the public airwaves?

Demetria on September 13, 2012 at 8:04 PM

What the dicks

venomlash on September 13, 2012 at 8:48 PM

Is he even trying to sound sane anymore? Does he just have a bet with someone about the most retarded things he could possibly say and still not get kicked off the air?

The worst part is that someone, somewhere probably heard it and thought 'wow, it makes so much sense!'

Fucking disgraceful.

Or what if 66 years ago the Pre-al-Qaida organization had someone pretend to be Mormon woman, marry into the Romney family and raise a sleeper cell child who would then run for president and plunge the world into chaos.

Chef Thunder on September 13, 2012 at 9:37 PM

What a nightmare job: bloviating red meat to right wingers hours a day for decades. And doing some of it on drugs while going deaf from the drugs? Wow.

I really do think he (tragically) has talent, he just uses it to bad ends.

I also think there is no way to do that and say sane stuff every day. Can't be done.

The beauty of news is you get handed stuff that mostly actually happens and you mostly repeat it. The horror of commentary is thinking up stuff out of whole cloth.

david on September 13, 2012 at 9:46 PM

Paul, you are a municipal treasure.

bioavailable on September 13, 2012 at 9:56 PM

Paul doesn't belong just to Seattle! He belongs to the whole Internet! HE'S EVERYONE'S TREASURE!

Chuds like Limbaugh on the other hand are cheerleaders for brutality. He's just horrible.

Puty on September 13, 2012 at 10:45 PM

If they start pushing this bullshit the Republicans are toast.

Pope Peabrain on September 14, 2012 at 3:23 AM

@15: it's not 'someone, somewhere' who believed it. It's hundreds of thousands of people at least. And more who WANT to believe it.

NateMan on September 14, 2012 at 6:40 AM

I think he's on the take from ALCOA (come on, no one really uses TIN foil anymore...)

Cracker Jack on September 14, 2012 at 7:12 AM

people people people

limbaugh is HUMOR that only conservatives can hear

he was using conservative irony and we libs are unable to understand

because we hate america just like Obama does

Max Solomon on September 14, 2012 at 7:53 AM

This is Constant's best post. More humor, please. Less tea-baggy-like, persnickety snark.

mitten on September 14, 2012 at 8:06 AM

If Rush Limbaugh talks on the radio and no one repeats what he says, does he make a sound? Let's try it and find out.

on September 14, 2012 at 8:53 AM

Paul didn't SAY that he was talking about Rush Limbaugh, but until Limbaugh denies this is the case, how are we supposed to know it ISN'T the case? (a la Glenn Beck)

bookworm on September 14, 2012 at 10:24 AM

Oh my god. Listening to Rush Limbaugh's voice just gives me a migraine. Please, no more links to videos with Rush Limbaugh ever again.
