Rush Limbaugh Wants You To Buy His Tea, For Some Reason
snip

Today on his radio program, fat blowhard (and Gawker fan!) Rush Limbaugh announced an exciting new venture: a Rush-branded line of chewable OxyContin tablets. Just kidding! No, Limbaugh is totally not addicted to prescription drugs anymore. No, he's hawking iced tea, because why not?

The stuff is called Two If By Tea. It's steeped in a weird slurry of Tea Party paranoia, false history, American flags, and Bibles, and it tastes just like resentment. It's only available by the case online, features a cartoon of Limbaugh dressed as Paul Revere, and costs about $2 a bottle, because why shouldn't Rush Limbaugh cash in on this Tea Party thing? Some of the profits, he says—a minimum of $100,000—will go to the Marine Corps - Law Enforcement Foundation, which assists the children of Marines and law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty.

3. I actually heard this BIG year-in-the-making SURPRISE...
and was underwhelmed - as was much of his audience no doubt.

"He is just selling us another product" they had to think to themselves.

This is like when he sold "Club Gitmo" orange prison suits and was asked to contribute at least some of the profits to veterans or vet groups or maybe the USO and Rush hid behind "CAPITALISM". He might as well have wiped his ass with an American flag or a set of BDU's.
