Nation Reels as Rush Limbaugh Revealed to Be 30 Year Long Andy Kaufman Prank
http://www.citizenschwartz.com/nation-still-reeling-after-rush-limbaugh-revealed-to-be-30-year-long-andy-kaufman-prank/
(PALM BEACH, FLA) When Rush Limbaughs official publicist announced the conservative pundit would be hosting a nationally televised press event Monday morning, everyone knew something big was coming. But nobody knew how big.
Walking up to the microphone after a brief introduction, the corpulent talk show host tersely announced his retirement and then opened the floor for questions. After a few minutes of rapid-fire interrogation, Limbaugh cut off a questioner, threw his hands high in the air, and yelled at the confused crowd: Come on, you lame-stream idiots you drive-by morons! Put on your thinking caps! Im Rush Limbaugh! Look at the things Ive said over my career. Im telling you right now that this is your last chance ever to ask me anything! What is the one question that you just have to ask the great and powerful Rushbo considering everything hes ever said!?!?!
. . .
What followed was nothing short of stunning.
After a long pause, Limbaugh nodded somberly and answered, Excellent question, Mr. Clifton. Excellent. It is, in fact, the question. The only question. And to answer it: Yes, in fact, I am! I am a big fucking joke. As he spoke, the rotund pundit reached up to his face, peeled off a latex mask and began stripping down to reveal a fat suit beneath his clothing. When all was said and done, a silent press corps and a stunned nation found themselves face to face with a diminutive comedian long thought dead.
Hello, the small man said in his trademark high-pitched falsetto, I am Andy Kaufman and you are all very, very stupid. I will be taking no questions. Mr. Kaufman then scrambled off the stage.

Well, that explains a lot! Now when are they going to admit that the Romney candidacy was a prank also?

Just like most conservative politicians. They don't give a shit about social issues. They're just in it to make money.

I wouldn't be surprised if Rush didn't give two shits about politics. He makes money off of peoples' stupidity.
