Dem Congressman: Limbaugh is a 'sorry excuse for a human being'
Politico ^ | 3/4/09 | Ben Smith

Posted on 03/05/2009 10:05:16 AM PST by pissant

A spokesman for Florida Rep. Alan Grayson, Todd Jurkowski, confirms a Grayson quote floating around on some blogs:

I’m sorry Limbaugh called for harsh sentences for drug addicts while he was a drug addict. I’m also sorry that he’s bent on seeing America fail. And I’m sorry that Limbaugh is one sorry excuse for a human being.

Grayson, who had previously called Limbaugh a "has-been hypocrite loser," seems to have done himself one better.

Apparently it takes one to hypocritically project the flaw onto others.

Well, Congressman, since he's a hundred times the man you'll ever be what's that make you?

So Rush signs a $400 million contract. I should be such a loser.

And Grayson, apparently was demonstrably wrong.

Sorry excuse for a human being? I see. I'm interested to know whether Grayson was as strident about the killers of Nick Berg or Daniel Perl.

This nitwit isn't worthy of shining Rush's shoes.

And mr. grayson...if you did say that then that is your opinion made possible by the fighting men and women of our military who are out there defending our freedoms so you can make assinine statements like that. If Rush Limbaugh is a sorry excuse for a human being...what do you call yourself?
Think twice mr. grason...you can’t hold a candle to Mr. Limbaugh and am sure you put in your two cents no matter how stupid just so you could get your name out there someplace. You might want to rethink your weak attempt on your attack on Rush. He’s the man... you should remember that.

What, you mean the one in his DC office (202) 225-2176
or the one in his Orlando office (407) 841-1757 either??

I guess that would irritate him and his aides.

“I’m also sorry that he’s bent on seeing America fail”.

Obama isn’t America.

I just called the DC office and he shuffled papers around for about three minutes, put me on hold, gave the quote back and couldn’t share any more info with me.

Same here... “Ummmm... yes, that was his quote.” *click* Had to call back to tell him that I have more faith in Rush than I could ever have in his hack boss.

Did Rush ever advocate harsh sentences for drug addicts?

In early 2009, Grayson responded to controversial comments by talk radio personality Rush Limbaugh, in which Limbaugh stated that he wanted President Barack Obama “to fail”, by saying, “Rush Limbaugh is a has-been hypocrite loser, who craves attention. His right-wing lunacy sounds like Mikhail Gorbachev, extolling the virtues of communism. Limbaugh actually was more lucid when he was a drug addict. If America ever did 1% of what he wanted us to do, then we’d all need pain killers.”

On March 3 of that year, satirizing incidents in which prominent Republican officials (including Republican National Committee Chairman Michael S. Steele) were forced to apologize to Limbaugh for criticizing him, Grayson released a second statement, in which he said, “I’m sorry Limbaugh called for harsh sentences for drug addicts while he was a drug addict. I’m also sorry that he’s bent on seeing America fail. And I’m sorry that Limbaugh is one sorry excuse for a human being.”

Grayson is a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

Three strikes, and Grayson's out!

Rush wasn't calling for harsh sentences for drug addicts, before, or after he was addicted to pain killers.
Rush has never said he wants AMERICA to fail,
Rush is likely a better human being than most Democrat members of Congress.
