ok that made me lol

i went on a cemetery walk with a friend of mine together who said that when she was a kid, her extremely left leaning mother (who died when my friend was a teen) use to put on rush in the car to get hype and just start cursing

that crab thing is monumental

It could be the start of a pincer movement

y'all do know the noisestorm crab thing predates rush's death by three years, right?

if rush limbaugh hated gender neutral bathrooms so much why is his grave going to be one?

amazing

legit

pisssssssss

let all people of conscience unite and pee in the same stream

Excellent work.

Apart from all the obvious stuff, wasn’t the guy a sex tourist? I remember something about being caught entering the Dominican Republic with dozens of viagra or poppers or something.

Wow @ that tweet, best and longest laugh I've had all week

it will never get old

Yeah that joke’a been around for ages, every so often you see another person post a pic of thatchers grave & say “found a gender neutral toilet in uk”. Obv it is inevitable and right that a bunch of ppl will repurpose it for this occasion

People don't talk enough about Rush Limbaugh's thoughts on horse sex, so I was grateful to come across this tender eulogy from @mudede https://t.co/gtLoWL4i83

Peggy Noonan column headline:

Rush Limbaugh’s Complicated Legacy
He was a gifted entertainer and advocate, but in his later years certain flaws became more evident.

Plumbing the Depths of the Asshole

save it for the gay thread

Adolph Hitler was a gifted statesman and public speaker, but in his later years certain flaws became more evident.

(And yes I just went full Godwin, but if this particular occasion doesn't warrant it I don't know what does.)

Rush Limbaugh: Saved on the Gay Thread

it's alright
cos he's saved on the gay
(thread)

Don't count on it, unless by "saved" you mean "saved for extreme ridicule and wishing his death had come earlier"

people who defend him in any way = a good litmus test for whether or not they have significant stock in patriarchal white supremacy imo.

well, yeah. he went out of his way to embrace the worst possible position on every social and political issue - just short of criminal or civil culpability. it was his trademark.

Calling that Taibbi tweet (and the linked essay) a "defense" of Rush Limbaugh isn't a fair reading.

i don't think taibbi's doing an accurate reading of rush limbaugh either

takes a very selective memory to believe for even the briefest seconds that limbaugh had an "anti-establishment" pov even if he ultimately characterizes it as an act

it's just very fucking insultingly dumb

there's zero reason to give matt taibbi the benefit of the doubt on anything

show that tweet to anyone who grew up gay in a household that listened to rush limbaugh and they would prob suggest that matt taibbi should stop shitting through his fingers

Posthumous pontifications about Rush Limbaugh that any more complex than 'should I aim directly for his mouth or just sort of hose down the entire corpse' can gtfo imho

I tried the day he died (but gave up because I'm old and technology confuses me) to screenshot + post the headlines from various news outlets that were all like 'that ornery rapscallion, he sure was controversial, but my goodness he was a broadcaster'. I like just kept dry heaving every time I read one.

Rush was “anti-establishment” the same way Trump, talking shit about GOP leadership, supporting Pat Buchanan against GHWB. i.e. not in a good way

Bring that Tweet Back.. https://t.co/mQiC7THxZw

Happy deadniversary, cunt

it was a good thing that he died, he should have died much earlier

He should have lived in obscurity and died alone.
