Angry Libtalkers Denounce Limbaugh Over Health Scare

'I GOT MY HOPES UP'

Libtalkers Ridicule Limbaugh Over Health Scare







Did you really believe they would exercise self-restraint?

What initially appeared to be caution on the part of libtalkers regarding Rush Limbaugh's health scare was actually the result of the medium's extended holiday shutdown. With hosts back in studio this week, they were loaded with vitriol reserved for the talk titan.

And who could blame them? While El Rushbo holds internationally-televised press conferences, their own potential troubles wouldn't rate a footnote in the news cycle.

Professional jealousy may be one factor here, but that doesn't excuse telling listeners you wish he'd died:

ED SCHULTZ (Monday - 01:50): I see that Limbaugh thinks that we have the absolute best health care on the face of the earth, but they don't know what's wrong with him! (laughs) OK, I'll take the bait. What a phony! What a faker! What a stunt! Folks, he's a radio guy! You just don't have problems with your ticker and chest pains and go to the hospital and say, well, we have no idea what's wrong with you. We just have no idea. (laughs)


RON REAGAN (Tuesday): Yes, it appears that America’s leading spokesman for ignorant intolerance has dodged a bullet; or, at least a big old gas ball! But, having stared down the Grim Reaper or an overly spicy hoagie sandwich, Limbaugh dispensed some sage advice:

REAGAN: Yes, yes, indeed, good point! If you think you’re having a heart attack, don’t reach for that mail-order CPR kit that came with the Sham-wow; dial 911! Better off in the hands of trained medical professionals, in case you were wondering about that kind of thing. Also, and for some reason Limbaugh didn’t mention this, if you’re prone to heart trouble, you might not want to take high doses of Viagra! Now, Limbaugh being Limbaugh, he couldn’t let a little thing like satisfaction to be alive deter him from delivering an ill-considered political message at his post-heartburn press conference...


MIKE MALLOY (Monday - 02:41): I got my hopes up; I really did, we were off where there wasn't a whole lot of communication going on and Kathy checked her cell phone .... Limbaugh had a pain in his tummy, what's the matter, Rush, a little too much Viagara?

Those 14-year olds really wear you down, won't they? Oh my God! What a joke that was!

If Limbaugh would have died, I would have demanded to see the death certificate because, after all, it is Hawaii and you know, the irony, of course, he was at a hospital that originally had been reported to be the one where Obama had not been born in, turned out to be the one Obama had not been born in was a different one, according to these right wing crazy bastards - have you noticed they're like fleas?

They're everywhere, these right-wing crazy people! Everywhere! So - anyway, Limbaugh took advantage of one of the most socialized forms of medical care in the country, and that is in the state of Hawaii, ah, screw them, I'm waiting for the day that I pick up the newspaper or click on the Internet and find that he's choked to death on his own throat fat or a great big wad of saliva - go away Rush, you made me sick!

Anyone expecting classy behavior from our libtalk friends is sadly mistaken.
