Oh, and nice comb-over rug cutie.

In case you missed the cartoon that appeared in Newsweek magazine and other places a month ago, it showed a person near the edge of a cliff talking to an elephant that represented the Republican Party.
The person asks, “If Rush Limbaugh told you to jump off this cliff would you do it?”
Next frame there’s the person standing alone, looking down and yelling over the cliff’s edge: “That was a rhetorical question!”
However, that cartoon really says a lot about the state of the Republican Party today. When you have a talk-show host who speaks for the conservatives in this country, you’re in a lot of trouble.
Here’s another rhetorical question: Has there ever been a bigger buffoon than Rush Limbaugh?
OK, if you’re a Limbaugh fan, you’re probably thinking “Lynn Saternow.” But besides the fact that I’m a lot better looking and much more humble, I would never have the audacity to challenge the President of the United States to a debate.
However, that’s what the loudmouth did recently. Maybe Limbaugh was back on drugs again when he said it, but why would a president want to even acknowledge someone who bills himself as a “harmless, lovable little fuzz ball.”
Lovable?
The best thing about Limbaugh is that he makes the conservatives of this country look very bad. After all, a short time ago he remarked about Obama: “I hope he fails.”
If Obama fails, this country fails. As much as I disliked George W. Bush, I never hoped he failed. Unfortunately, he did anyhow which is why we’re in a huge economic mess at this time.
Recently, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanual called Limbaugh the leader of the GOP. That was a great comment.
That really stirred Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, who considers himself the leader. In fact, he said some unflattering things about Limbaugh, who then reacted by slamming Steele.
So now Limbaugh not only has Democrats bashing him, he even has some of the Republicans split. Man, politics are great.
We are facing the worst problems we’ve had since the Great Depression. If ever there was a time for bipartisanship to help bring this country back, it’s now. I’m talking about Nancy Pelosi and her Democratic minions as well. This is no time for Democrats to be bragging that they won the election.
It doesn’t matter who wins if the country loses.
It’s even time for people like Rush Limbaugh to decide whether they want to put the best interests of their country first or if they just want to improve ratings with conservatives.
The whole nation is on the edge of the cliff and needs a lifeline. If everyone pulls together, we can climb back up and return to being the greatest country on Earth.
Or we can keep listening to buffoons and keep throwing up roadblocks to keep that from happening.
The Herald’s Lynn Saternow writes this column each Saturday for the Opinion page.
Oh, and nice comb-over rug cutie.
Did he get a bowl of soup with that haircut?
I listen to Rush and I do not intend to unite with the Obama and his fellow Marxists.
With his toupee. That image brings a smile to my face.
Rush may be a loudmouth, but he is a loudmouth with the right message. Rush is our current defender of Conservatism.
Of course they can. But we need the participation of those who use shorthand digital communication. Old guys like me may cringe at times. However, we cannot afford to shut these people down over a trivial issue like this. Otherwise, they may end up "bff" with the Democrats.
Now.. isn't that just retarded??
Not really, media and whores weren't my current mindset...........I was thinking about whether or not to cook my spaghetti sauce for 45 minutes or a full hour.........I think I'm going with an hour.
If everyone pulls together, we can climb back up and return to being the greatest country on Earth.
That will never happen with an empty suit in the oval office. So far he has spent upwards of 5 trillion dollars and only been in the office less two months.
Tell us who is going to pay for his nonsense?
Only because you let him be.
After reading the column I'm reasonably certain the author can't be reached at all.
Reads like a high school newspaper article.
I , personally do not want to and have no desire to unite wiht obama disciples.
Not now, not in the future. I do not wish to educate them or socialize with them.
The commies are so transparent. "Don't look at Bozo's failures with the economy, look at the bad Rush Limbaugh!". Misdirection, smoke and mirrors intended to take our minds off of the One's f***ups.
There is no limit to their hypocrisy.
uh...I do not want a united socialist nation.
There are some people I do not want to be united with.
I am beginning to understand the statement that Liberalism really IS a mental disorder!
How’s that 401k doing, Lynn?
