Also - if you ever find yourself trapped in SE Missouri, you can always do this:
Rush Limbaugh Hometown Tour Cape Girardeau is the hometown of radio phenomenon Rush Limbaugh. Our self-driving tour will take you past the hospital where Rush was born and his childhood home. You will see where he attended school and cruised Broadway, traditional during Rush's high school days. Included is the barbershop where he shined shoes and the radio station where the record-breaking broadcaster started his career.View the sites that influenced Rush's early years. For more information on self-driving tour, call the Convention and Visitors Bureau at (800) 777-0068.
I guess they decided to leave out the college he attended and flunked out of.

He got his diploma at the university of shining shoes in real life

To be fair, he was jowl-deep in nachos whenever I dealt with him. Maybe I was breaking his focus.

Rush is nearing total incoherency, I can't even begin to untangle the logic here

“If homosexuality being inborn is what makes it acceptable, why does racism being inborn not make racism acceptable?” the talk show host asked. “I’m sorry — I mean, this is the way my mind works. But apparently now we don’t choose racism, we just are racists. We are born that way. We don’t choose it. So shouldn’t it be acceptable, excuse — this is according to the way the left thinks about things."

Referring to an incident in which a white student was beaten by black students on a bus, Limbaugh said: “I think the guy’s wrong. I think not only it was racism, it was justifiable racism. I mean, that’s the lesson we’re being taught here today. Kid shouldn’t have been on the bus anyway. We need segregated buses — it was invading space and stuff. This is Obama’s America.”

I listened to the linked audio clip. It was incoherent, but I didn't think he was calling for segregated buses. He was mocking Pres. Obama. That is, I thought he was sarcastically saying "In Obama's new America, we ought to have segregated buses, to keep the racist white kids away from the innocent black kids." Now, that's also bats--t crazy, but I got the impression from reading the comments upthread that Limbaugh was saying that white kids need to be on separate buses to protect them from violent black kids. Frankly, I assume he would say something like that. But I didn't hear him say it in the clip.

FWIW, I hate Rush Limbaugh. And I'd pay to see this: "I'm pretty adamantly not a puncher, and I would punch the shit out of him."

I keep waiting, apparently in vain, for there to be a 'Face in the Crowd' type moment where some Patricia Neal type character unveils swine like Beck and Limbaugh for the craven, contemptuous, immoral strivers they are. Otoh, maybe they're really that stupid.

I watched a few minutes of that "Bully Gets Bullied" video clip. I was sort of amazed it played out the way it did. Kind of awesome to see the audience's anger intimidate Limbaugh a bit.

Like if you are going to call your song "Punch 'Em In The Dick" someone should get punched in the dick in like the first 30 seconds of the video or failing that AT LEAST by the chorus.

For all his vile spew, Limbaugh is a talented broadcaster, which is one more asset than Joe Biden possesses.
