Way to go, Shane Murphy! I wonder if Rush will bully him into retracting his statements, like he's done so many times of late? I hope Murphy stands his ground, because he's absolutely right.

He will probably tell Rush to s--- it. I'm sure he has run into more difficult situations than this before.

Look up the definition of MISERY in the dictionary and you might find a picture of Rush Limpball! He's the poster child for misery. His misery is glaring and those who follow Lamebaugh are just as miserable. Seems like all of life's losers migrate to him because misery loves company! Ha!

Well, you might be miserable too if you're ex-girlfriend was sexing James Carval.

Yeah, I would think that being hijacked is a little higher on the adrenaline scale than being ridiculed by a corpulent drug addict.

Yeah, but lets not be too hard on Rush. There's more to that man than meets the eye. For example, I learned just this morning that he was literally born with two a**holes! At first I was slightly surprised, but on reflection doesn't it go a long way toward explaining both him and his followers?

Waterboarding questions for Sean Hannity

why is it that you never volunteered for military service?" His responses will be:
"I had other priorities" (sorry Sean, that's Cheney's);
"I had 2 a-holes" (aka, pilonidal sinus, won't work, that's Limbaugh's);
"bum knee" (nope, that's O'Reilly's, Buchanan's, Chambliss's);
"too young" (taken, Bill Kristol's);
"acne" (Judd Gregg);
"minorities took all the positions" (good try, but that's Tom DeLay's)
"I was hoping to be called for 6 years, but they never did" (Mitt Romney's, and doesn't explain why you didn't volunteer, does it?)

So what's worse? The uber-rich, extreme-right, sometimes way-off base, sometimes right-on political commentator? Or the jealous losers whining about him on an internet message board? (Using, BTW, very childish, unimaginitive names)

Hint: This isnt a trick question.

Ha. No one hear even listens to Rush enough to put anything into context. He is a smartass, he is sarcastic, pompous, the list goes on. But thats the point. He shows the ridiculousness of almost EVERY situation thru this. People always try to take him out of context. Hell some times his own listeners don't get it. They call in pissed then he has to explain, "I was joking to exaggerate a point". I may not listen to everything he says, but geez he does hit the point pretty often.

As far as this situation goes, considering that since our president is part black and HIS campaign played the race card thru the primaries and on into his presidency I can see where Rush got his idea of a black person(from anywhere) would/should get preferential treatment from Obama. Of course he didn't mean it, it was a quick jab. He isn't a crazed bigot. Also the fact that no American lives were lost and that everyone was totally fine after the pirate attack, it makes it easy to joke about. Had someone died it would have changed the situation and people would not be making light of it. Kinda like when someone wipes out on a four wheeler and if they are hurt everyone is there to help, but if he pops up every one laughs and makes light of it.

I also like how you guy/gals act like maybe this guy liked him prior to this. Hell for all we know he has never liked Rush and now that he said this it just really pissed him off. Who knows. Regardless, this is just another grasp at stings.
