BREAKING! Republican Leader Rush Limbaugh Announces His Own Charm Offensive!
Edited on Fri Apr-03-09 11:36 AM by Median Democrat
How are Obama and the Democratic Party going to compete for women voters? Behold! The new sensitive and caring Rush!

:loveya:

LIMBAUGH: And I should point out that this is not going to ingratiate me to women, and I'm making a supreme effort to ingratiate myself to the babes, but I'm sorry, ladies. The female reporters I've seen so far that are getting a chance to ask Obama a question are embarrassing. "Thank you, Mr. President, for calling on me. Thank you, Mr. President. You're wonderful. Thank you so much for calling on me."

Let me guess, he had us all at the word, "babes."

15. If a chimp's DNA is 98% that of a human's
then Jabber the Rush might have the other 2%.

That's just a working theory, though, no proof yet.

4. I wonder if it will be any more effective than the (in)famous Bush Charm Offensive
Probably not, but remember, it's not really a "charm offensive" until Cokie Roberts "reports" on it on NPR...

6. I don't know about charming, but he definitely is offensive.

9. It appears he's won over Her Royal Babeness
It is not OK, according to Rush, and the only reason it wasn't a bigger deal, in Rush's estimation, was because Her Majesty was being gracious and covered for Michelle Obama's faux pas.

No word on whether or not The Queen was amused.

10. Yeah - it's nothing like
the way he fellated Dick Cheney during his on-air interviews. I'm so glad he's taking New York off his list of places to go. The city already smells cleaner.

16. Out of curiousity, I listened to his show about a month ago that was dedicated to female callers
Edited on Fri Apr-03-09 01:37 PM by rvablue
who did not like him or listen to him.

He said he wasn't going to accept calls from fans, but only from those women who didn't like him and were willing to tell him why.

On every call, after each of the women had finished with their criticisms (many said that they agreed with Rush but did not like some names he used to refer to women), he went on to either berate them for speaking their minds, making fun of what they had said, and in one instance kind of yelling at the woman.

He is a tone-deaf gasbag who is headed for the dinosaur yard. What a pathetic weasel he is. Even though he know's that his ratings with women are abyssmal, he is such a misogynistic jerk he still can't stop himself.

Yuck!
