She even made fun of Obama AND Michelle.....how come you're not pointing that out & praising Wanda for it?

So how does hoping Rush dies is a roast of Obama?

there's a big difference between wishing Obama's socialist policies fail and wishing another human being to be tortured and die.

Wait, waterboarding is torture?
I guess the left and the right agrees on that finally.

I thought Rush didn't think waterboarding was torture.

Well, I'm not surprised. You loons are beyond predictable in your over the top outrage over non issues. I picture you hovering over your tv or computer, just salivating in anticipation of "THE NEXT BIG GAFFE". I'm so sorry.

By the way -- the kidney failure comment was clearly a reference to Rush's drug abuse (since kidney failure is a frequent consequence of drug addition). Conservatives are the ones most in love with the idea of "taking responsibility for one's choices" and facing the consequences of one's pursuit of "instant gratification", so I would think conservatives would be thrilled with the idea of a druggie getting his comeuppance in the form of organ failure. Oh, right, when a conservative wingnut does drugs, it's just an "error of judgment" and should have no consequences; if a liberal does drugs, he should suffer fire and brimstone. Isn't that right, Elo?

Besides -- aren't you guys not through yet foaming at the mouth about Obama putting Dijon mustard on his burgers instead of ketsup? Or is it "ketchup"?

No, I think you've got that mixed up, since it's the other way around.
