This shows you just how low social conservatives are willing to go to defend their despicable, anti-democratic behavior.

Limbaugh has the mentality of a 7th grade boy. Not only is he a homophobic slimeball who has no interest in intelligent debate over the health care crisis in this country, he's also doesnt even know how to pronounce Uranus. It's YOUR-a-nus (accent on the first syllable). He seems to be obsessed with sphincters anyway, his favorite analogy seems to be 'bending over and holding both ankles'. I never listen to this asshole (no pun intended), i've just heard his clips on Olberman and Maddow. To anyone who's eating, my apologies for bringing up the image of Limbo bending over and holding his ankles.

Barney Frank IS a scumbag (as well as a gay Uncle Tom to Obama), and has plenty of qualities to mock, but picking on his sexuality is just childish and irrelevant.

Maybe someone should dig deeper into Limbaugh's personal life. Aside from the fact that he's a prescription pill addict and the face of the republican party, I don't recall him having a girlfriend, living with one, or dating anyone, or is he married? I pity anyone getting hit on by this piece of detritus. With his constant gay baiting, I often wonder if this moron has any skeletons in his closet? I hope he's not one of those self-loathers. Singling out anyone's sexuality as a way of demeaning, denigrating and dehumanizing to make one's point is quite revealing.

Agreed, Robert but the funny part is not only that the joke is so lame but that few of his constituents would really get the connection with the planet! They'll just fixate on the last syllable: 'CUZ THEY BE STUPID! That's the only reason they listen to him.

Rush Limbaugh is a lot of things, but he is not a "conservative." I know people who are truly conservatives, and there is no similarity to this total slob. Limbaugh is a classic Narcissist, and he commonly says things to get himself in the news.
I find it difficult to believe that a man like Limbaugh, who created a broadcasting network and is worth multitudinous millions, actually believes the things he says. I think he knows how radio works and uses his knowledge to his advantage.
I first realized how low this imbecile could go when he mocked Michael J. Fox for having Parkinson's disease. He isn't worth our time, and the media should stop playing into his hand. Limbaugh's biggest fear is being ignored; let's help him realize it.

I have no opinion Wayne because i am refusing to watch that piece of shit. The sooner everyone does that, the sooner Rush Limploins will be gone.

Chris, I'm sure he doesn't mean many of the things he says. Someone, I forget who, talked about how he'd confronted Rush on several occaisions about lies he told that he must have known were lies. He denied he'd lied at first, but when presented with proof that not only did he lie, but that he knew it was a lie, he brought out this line "Hey, I'm just an entertainer" each time - that's his excuse. What a pathetic creep.

Robert, he's been married several times (another 'family values' bullshiter), put I guess his WIVES could only stand him for so long. I heard that in his last divorce settlement, she had to sign saying she would never say or write anything about him or their personal lives or she would lose all the alimony. As for his sex life (barf!), remember a few years ago he was arrested at an airport on some tropical island that's known for underage sex trafficking because he had viagra in his bag with no prescription. Another 'moral values' republican!

gary: The pronunciation you use is a relatively new one that was developed because some people were uncomfortable saying something that even sounds like "anus." Limbaugh pronounced the word correctly. He made a homophobic and childish pun.
General comment: Limbaugh was caught with an illegal Viagra prescription in the Dominican Republic, a place notorious for underage prostitutes. I find it odd that the man with the bouncing man boobs would even want to get near the subject of sexual practices.
I wish I could find an up to date list of Limbaugh's advertisers.

Gary, if that's true, I find it odd that us progressives aren't getting this information out more to humiliate and embarrass this piece of useless, irrelevant human waste of a hypocrite. He needs to be taken down a peg or two and learn some humility. The thought of him having a sex life defies imagination.

The fact that anyone pays this bloated, pill popping hypocrite any notice is a sad commentary on our society. Seriously, "uranus" jokes? Is this what passes for political thought these days? We've dropped the bar very low from the days of the founding fathers.

Yes it is a sad indicator of how low our nation has fallen culturally. I listened to this man once, about 17 years ago as a favour to a friend and I swore I would never do so again. So I have not even watched the clip Wayne provided. I will not pay any attention to this trashy piece of crap.
I love his "family values" orientation (heavy sarky here, mates). Not too surprised, though. I have yet to hear of a family values type who isn't, at base, a lying hypcritical waste of space.
