Rush Limbaugh Is Hot Under the Collar
by Michael Wolff

Rush Limbaugh is worried. His anxiety might have something to do with his precipitous weight gain. Also, his speech patterns are showing stress. The normal enthusiastic, even jovial, oom-pa-pa of the instrument has become labored, dogged. . .

. . . Right now Rush is being played. The Obama dinner with conservative columnists, shortly before his inauguration, was as much about excluding Rush as coddling the columnists. Not only did the conservatives fawn, but Rush fumed. It got under his skin. Indeed, the rumor that he might in fact be there (likely coming from the Obama camp), and then his evident lack of an invitation, highlighted the slight. He’s tried to make it out to be a political point ever since, but mostly he sounds like a guy who’s hurt he didn’t get invited to the hot party. . .

. . . The game the president is playing is to make a testy, easy-to-arouse, fun-to-rankle Rush come to stand for an odd-ball, tone-deaf, blowhard far right that the rest of the desperate-to-be-liked Republican Party will eagerly distance itself from (if Rush is trying to capitalize on the panty-waist demeanor of so many of his fellow Republicans, he’s also got to suspect that they’ll sell him out.)

Rush’s game is to try to stay in the game. To find some plausible way to characterize and ridicule the president, which will justify the $400 million what-were-they-thinking contract he signed with Clear Channel over the summer. The pressure is on.

Worth visiting the link for the whole article. Sounds about right. Rush is a cowardly bully, much like O'Reilly, only even worse. He can't stand ridicule, and not being part of the "cool kids." That's why he hated Bill Clinton so much. Obama and his team realize the guy is gonna blow up one of these days, and for the country's sake, the sooner the better.

Rush sure got enormously fat again. Wonder what's up with that? Stress? Whatever, this is going to get interesting.

5. That could have gotten a DUzy.
Doesn't even look like he has a neck any more.

They say that as you grow older, your looks reflect your soul. Given this picture, I believe it.

4. Rush should be laughed at...constantly and loudly.
Edited on Wed Jan-28-09 11:18 AM by MineralMan
It's the thing he can't stand. He expects to be taken seriously, so when he is ridiculed he reacts strongly.

Once Al Franken is seated it will be a body blow to Rush. A man who ridiculed him publicly and famously, elected to the Senate? A perfect storm for Limpbaw.

6. The more he is played the hotter he will get
He might even eventually blow his cork. That would be a mess.

10. Wonder if he is getting any stress relief
in pill form? If he is, someone might have guts to investigate again if he is not as politically powerful.

15. Gee, ya think there was a reason why he was not invited to a dinner involving ...
..."conservative columnists" He is not a columnist nor a respectable journalist by any stretch of the imagination. Now if there were a dinner for fat ass, drug addled, lunatic, foaming at the mouth clowns then he'd be the first on the list.

20. Stress=inflammation=Rush
Stress is a major factor in weight gain, there's lots of research done on it...

Looks like he's getting enough food, to me. They eat their young, don't they?!??! Heh.

Poor, poor, pitiful Rush...
/sarcasm
