Have you heard? Rush is fat.

GaryPDX: Who?

You don't know who Rush Limbaugh is anymore? Here'sa hint: He's the guy whose picture you have on your pillowcase. You know the pillowcase I mean. The one that has all the semen stains all over it.

 
Weaver95 [TotalFark] 2009-02-28 07:14:33 PM  
I don't think it's possible to hate yourself AND be a narcissist. that's like being an orthodox jewish muslim baptist converting to Catholicism. It just don't work that way!

And for the record, Garafalo is crazy in the head. I'd still bang her like a cheap dimestore drum, but that girl is one flaky and not too bright nutball.

She was one of the voices in Ratatouille.

Now she is a political activist? Really? Her search for significance continues. Not buying her crazy and I do not have enough bags.

 
NeoAnderthal [TotalFark] 2009-02-28 08:39:42 PM  
Garafalo has been doing what for the last 10 years???????

 
El Freak [TotalFark] 2009-02-28 09:24:09 PM  
Sorry Janeane, but a role on that right wing wankfest 24 instantly destroys whatever "liberal activist" credibility you think you had.

 
Nabb1 [TotalFark] 2009-02-28 09:35:08 PM  
I'm no fan of Rush, but if anyone should know about self-loathing, it's Miss Garafalo.

 
ShawnDoc [TotalFark] 2009-02-28 09:44:09 PM  
Garafalo used to (still does?) have as how on Air America. My god was it aweful. I tuned in just so I could get an alternative to the right wing shows that normally fill out talk radio. Rather than talk about issues, or explain why we should think the way she does, or at least make some jokes (she is a comedian by trade after all) the show was just clips of stuff Republicans would say and then her going "Oh my god. Can you believe how stupid they are. They're idiots".

Very, very good point.

I can't bring myself to say THIS

It's kind of interesting to see someone like Olbermann calling someone else narcissist.....

Works for "The Daily Show," and the nightly news.

I have a hard time believing that he has a 57% approval rating among males.

I can't even find anyone, on either side, that will even admit listening to him.

actually, it's rather difficult to dig up reliable, timely and accurate arbitron data on Limbaugh's show.

Oh I listen in from time to time. Of course, most of Rush's humor is unintential these days. He really has started taking Obama's election as a personal insult. Mostly I like listening to Rush slowly fall apart on the air. Just saying the words 'President Obama' is tearing him apart - and God help me, but I do love it so....

 
AirForceVet [TotalFark] 2009-02-28 10:34:04 PM  
And this is news to whom?

Rush is a very talented entertainer and broadcaster. To take him seriously is naive. But then, we are talking about Republicans, aren't we?

/I like Janeane Garofolo personally.
//Good to see her speak her mind with intelligence and style.
///Unlike the majority of Fark Republicans and alleged "Independents."

AirForceVet: //Good to see her speak her mind with intelligence and style.

Hmm...let's examine her comments a bit, shall we?

FTA:

GAROFALO: He [Rush Limbaugh] is a narcissist who also struggles with self-loathing. That is clear. That is his prime maneuver. That's the issue. He pretends it is politics. But there is something very, very wrong with Rush Limbaugh. He knows this. Most other, quote, unquote, Republicans or conservative don't have self-awareness. I think he does. He really dislikes himself. And the type of people that respond to his message have a whole bunch of other problems, too."

sweeping generalizations do not indicate an open or intelligent mind. Mz. Garafalo condemns what she sees as the narrow minded bigotry of a fanatical right wing, but in doing so she's become what she claims to fear/hate the most. The abyss did indeed stare back at her and she hasn't realized it yet.

Like the Obama semen dripping from your chin

 
Owangotang 2009-02-28 10:57:11 PM  
The funniest part is that he is now the head of the GOP and that's not even debatable. He was the main attraction at CPAC, the one who fired all those conservatives up.

Can you even imagine the things Rush would say if the Democrats had a convention headlined by Al Franken?

You probably try to avoid the same 60% of males that I try to avoid.

I'd also like to think of Obama's election as a personal insult to Rush Limbaugh. That wasn't why I voted for him, but it feels like a bonus.

Rush, Hannity, O'Reilly, Levin, etc. are all clowns, making balloon animals out of the truth.

 
Renowned transvestite sexologist 2009-02-28 11:14:38 PM  
She's extremely hot, but she's not qualified to talk about the subject. Keith Olbermann, at times, has a very solid way with words. His grasp of language can make him well worth listening to, but his show is garbage. This clip demonstrates why it's crap. Who the hell cares what Garafalo says about Limbaugh. She's on the show for entertainment, nothing more nothing less.

/I've become that guy, you know the one. The one who prefers raw facts over the media bias and will moan loudly about it at cafes when prompted.

//does anyone actually care about being informed anymore?

 
ILoveBeer3000 2009-02-28 11:19:15 PM  
Rush uses his ego and pseudo-misogyny as shtick.
And he does love to hear his own name, but that's also part of the bit.

Agree with him or not, he makes logical arguments in a way that the MSM/liberals take it out of context to demonize him, only to bring a resurgence of his name into the media again.

He does represent mainstream conservative thought, hence his huge performance at the national conservative convention this afternoon.

/bring the liberal hate

 
snow9999 2009-02-28 11:23:58 PM  
Rush is a true example of what the republicans have become. He is a drug addict that calls for the execution of drug addicts. Like the republicans that call for our freedoms to be taken away "for the children", except when they are trying to shove their wangs in the little boys.

 
wozzeck 2009-02-28 11:33:48 PM  
I don't know how anyone can listen to Rush or Olbermann for more than five minutes without suffering serious neurological damage.

Olbermann and Limbaugh are basically the same thing--both a technically proficient announcers, both know how to hit strongly at the themes that excite their audiences, and neither does a thing that would challenge any of their listeners/viewers or at least deepen their audiences' understandings of the issues.

They are the front and back sides of $3 bill.

 
Stay Cool Babylon 2009-02-28 11:33:52 PM  
Yeah. A self-styled liberal has an opinion on Rush. WTF cares? We should have threads when a respected member of the so-called RIGHT calls Limbaugh for the divide-and-profit charlatan that he is.

 
mccallcl 2009-02-28 11:34:48 PM  
I bought Garafalo a drink once. She was at the Bowery Ballroom to see Rocket From the Crypt. She's very pretty in person. Crush galvanized.

Amusingly, I'm watching a rerun of Seinfeld where he dates Garofalo.

I guess it's in the half of his brain he claims to tie behind his back.

You left out the part of her appearance on Countdown where she and Olbermann made open minded and intelligent comments about how women or "people of color"(her term) who are Republicans must suffer from Stockholm Syndrome or that any woman who'd date Rush Limbaugh reminded her of the woman who crave the serial killers locked up in prison or-better yet-Eva Braum. Yup, the Hitler comparison comes into play. Seems to me that it wouldn't be too difficult to infer that Olbermann and Garafalo were saying that women and those "people of color" should all think the same way and that there was something wrong with them if they didn't.

It's one thing to be passionate about your views and beliefs, it's another to be so close minded and bitterly twisted up in complete hatred of any opposing point of view. Garafalo (and Olbermann) seem to be closer to the latter there. They're talanted and intelligent people, but they (and others) strike me as compleatly uninterested in any sort of exchange of ideas that they don't agree with.

How about - FARKING HELL NO JOKER.

The only thing I want the Republicans to "take" right now is a jump off a very tall building. They had control of both houses for almost a decade, 6 years of that with a Republican president and the conclusive proof is that they are shiat stains upon humanity.

If the late 90's "rocked" it was only because of the good policy that Clinton was able to get passed by the Democratic Congress before the terrible abortion that was the "Republican Revolution". Once those shiat throwing monkeys got into power they spent the remainder of their time arguing about blow jobs and then giving them to GWB when he got elected in the form of tax breaks for rich guys, destroying environmental protections, destroying individual privacy rights, spending money like drunken sailors and helping their corporate masters bilk investors out of billions and billions of dollars.

Seriously, fark those guys. I wouldn't vote for a Republican for dog catcher anymore. They are worthless sacks of crap only interested in having power and gay sex with prostitutes.

Who's that?

A Japanese doctor said, 'Medicine in my country is so advanced that we
can take a kidney out of one man, put it in another, and have him
looking for work in six weeks.
A German doctor said, 'That's nothing, we can take a lung out of one
person, put it in another, and have him looking for work in four weeks.
A British doctor said, 'In my country, medicine is so advanced that we
can take half of a heart out of one person, put it in another, and have
them both looking for work in two weeks.'
A Texas doctor, not to be outdone said, 'You guys are way behind. We
took a man with no brains out of Texas , put him in the White House, and
now half the country is looking for work.
