Then show us one taken very recently or can you?

Go ahead and post a more recent "slim" photo.

It's downright racist, and the epitome of ignorance. Actually, it's wasn't ignorance. Limbaugh knows better than to do that. It was out and out stupid. Maybe he's back on the Oxycontin.

I googled Rush Limbaugh, pictures and got several newer ones of a man who is surely not fat. Now many of the left leaning sites have older pictures taken before he lost weight and he looks very fat in them.

Ok, I have told you how to see all kinds of pictures of the man now you do the work.

I didn't see one picture on HuffPo that was any later than 2008 before he lost all that weight. your picture of May 2010 isn't bad but he is much thinner than that today. I will tell you like I did Trihiker that a simple google of Rush Limbaugh, pictures will do a good job for you. Try hard.

Is this one racist? A bit shocking but racist?

Rush Limbaugh Calls Obama a 'Jackass' - ABC News

I have a number of people here who must be thinner than President Obama if they believe the man in that link is fat.

I thought he did one of the best imitations of a man speaking Mandarin Chinese I have heard.

Certainly he's entitled to whatever opinion he wants to hold. Certainly he can express it like any other person--or can he? Do pundits somehow get more of a voice than you or me? Is the opinion of a pundit somehow more valuable than that of you or me?

I also happen to think he's something of an arrogant blowhard, so I don't like him in a personal sense, but that's just me.
