Rush Limbaugh Laughs at Diane Sawyer and Japan Situation
What kind of payback is this?” Rush asked. “That is an excellent question. They invented the Prius. In fact, where Gaia blew up is right where they make all these electric cars. That's where the tsunami hit.”
“What is Gaia trying to tell us here? What is the mother of environmentalism trying to say with this hit?” he continued.
Maybe the deaths of over 10,000 people is funny to this guy. Personally, I missed the humor.
Huh? I suggest you read what you post before you post. Its obvious that Limbaugh is not ridiculing the refugees, but extreme environmentalists. That's why he used the "Gaia" reference. Not only have fundamentalist Christians and Buddhists claimed that the tsunami and earthquake were acts of vengeful deities, but left-wing new-age types as well, hinting that the Earth is a conscious entity and is creating natural disasters in reaction to humans damaging the environment.

Rush Limbaugh laughed about Japanese refugees recycling after the earthquake that struck the country on his Tuesday show.
A caller asked Limbaugh, "If these are the people that invented the Prius, have mastered public transportation, recycling, why did Mother Earth, Gaia if you will, hit them with this disaster?"
Limbaugh called this an "interesting question," and played a clip of ABC's Diane Sawyer reporting from a shelter in Japan. In the clip, Sawyer is surprised that the refugees in the shelter have maintained a recycling program. Limbaugh first mocked Sawyer, doing an impression of her and saying that "she sounds like she saw her husband for the first time in six months." He then turned to his caller's question.
"He's right," Limbaugh said. "They've given us the Prius. Even now, refugees are recycling their garbage." Here, he began to laugh, continuing, "and yet, Gaia levels them! Just wipes them out!"
Obviously he's mocking, for right or wrong, environmentalists who tout things like recycling and the Prius.
