Limbaugh makes gay joke about Barney Frank

Rush Limbaugh on his radio show Wednesday made a crude joke about Rep. Barney Frank’s sexual orientation in response to a widely-circulated clip of Frank’s witty response to an opponent of the health care reform proposal before Congress. Via Huffington Post:

Basically makes a lame anti-gay joke about "what planet are you from" with Uranus...

2. I'd make jokes about Rush being a child buggerer...
but that's not funny. It's sick! Shame on you, Rush!

22. Are you referring to that terrible rumor that Rush is a pedophile drug user?
just because he goes (often) to the Dominican republic with BAGS of off-market Viagra and hillbilly heroin?

3. In the same class with Dickless Armey,
who, when still in Congress, once referred to Barney Frank as "Barney Fag," and then laughed and said it was just a slip of the tongue.

Frank brushed it off.

It still pisses me off.................................

8. Don't you think THAT
would have been enough to have kept Armey's damn mouth shut?

11. True, true........
And, honestly, in my glory days, if I saw a real Dick Army rushing towards me, I'd simply have smiled broadly and welcome them with open, uh, you know, arms...................................

Personally, I'd prefer to be stopped by the Poontang Patrol or be investigated by the Titty Committee...I don't think there are any Republicans named those though...

13. Limbaugh missed the recess bell in third grade and remained at a third grade sexual and intellectual

level

Viagra - it's just a drug Rush. Not not a solution
to your arrested development.

14. And on which planet do you spend most of your time, flush?
Having an argument with you is WORSE than trying to have an argument with a dining room table. More like trying to have an argument with a stopped up toilet.

15. Rush was busted for trying to pick up an undercover male cop in ....
.... Pittsburgh. When he was busted and used his on air name "Jeff Christie."

All those marriages and girlfriends and not one kid? ...... please.

BTW this is no slight on gays or lesbians it about the hypocrisy.

24. Every last one of these over-the-top macho-he-man-wannabe
straight guys has this unbelievably pathetic obsession with anything related to "the gay"!

Disclaimer : I say this as a straight man who hasn't ever felt the need to impress the world with any particular superficial benchmark to project some specific level of masculinity...

26. K&R; never mind that crosses a line, Rush himself is suspect of some misdeeds Frank never did.
Then again, we all make jokes about others' nuances. How many of us haven't make jokes about how fat, addicted, and stupid he is?

Congressman Frank should let the jibe roll off his back, like water off a duck.

29. What is the moral difference between joking about Barney Frank's sexuality and Limbaugh's?
Just curious.
