Rush'a viagra stash gets him in trouble...

[Nellie Bly]

Which is worse? Getting busted due to an addiction to pain pills? Or getting busted for having viagra without a prescription? (http://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/06/27/limbaugh.viagra.ap/index.html)

I don't know if he has a girlfriend/wife or if they were with him, but it sounds like he might have been hitting the DR brothels while he was there. I would only be more suspicious if he had been coming back from Thailand. The dude looks to me like the kind of sicko who likes em realllllllll young.

If this happened to Michael Moore, you'd be crying foul and screaming for his privacy.

Who are you kidding, no one would fuck Michael Moore.

Right, like I care about Michael Moore. The difference between Conservatives and Liberals is that Conservatives worship every word Rush utters, they lap it up like gospel and Liberals know that Michael Moore isn't always right, he generalizes and he's a good entertainer.

Those talking heads on Conservative AM radio might as well be the Apostles to Conservatives. There is a reason that style of radio doesn't play with Liberals. We don't just believe these spewers out of hand. Come on, how smart does NASCAR fan have to be to say, "Ditto, Rush."

Seriously, both of those fat, ugly fuckers are paying for it. Neither of them gets it for free!!!

[Unrequited]

Who are you kidding, no one would fuck Michael Moore.

Apparently you find Rush more attractive?

[ZLoveSarah]

If someone put a gun to my head and I had to choose... I think I'd choose Rush even though I find him mentally repulsive.

just sayin.

Well, it's only Tuesday and Woxy has already made my week...specifically, by putting me in the position to have to think about Rush Limbaugh with a boner. Next time I'm performing my manly duties with p_o and wish to stave off climax, I'll just think about this thread...that should pull me back from the brink repeatedly and make me a friggin' hero by the end of the night.

There aren't any liberals who genuflect at the altar of Mike Moore? I beg to differ.

Anyway, I think it'd be far more accurate to observe that complete simpletons who need someone to equip them with talking points to try and sound vaguely informed about what the hell is going on in the world on either end of the ideological spectrum turn to partisan hacks like Moore and Limbaugh for their regular fill of political offal from guys who make millions preaching to the alredy convinced. Plenty of intelligent conservatives loathe Rush, and plenty of thoughful liberals can't stand Moore, and usually it's for the same reason: they are a like a plague that attacks intelligent discourse and polarizes people, keeping them standing vigilant in their respective trenches and offering both sides the very incarnation of everything that they think is repugnant and reprehensible about "them" on the other side.

Beyond that, the_birds: I find it more than a wee ironic that you a) describe conservatives in one broad, sweeping generalization of the sort that Limbaugh uses to describe liberals (read: idiots who unblinkingly believe everything their self-appointed masters tell them) and b) mangled the syntax of a sentence goofing on how stupid NASCAR fans are. :p :p

All you have to do is look at the ratings of Talk Radio and Fox News and tell me you can't paint Republicans with a broad paintstrokes of generalization. Call me Mark Rothko. But ignoring the point or twisting it like Rush would "read: idiots who unblinkingly believe everything their self-appointed masters tell them" doesn't mean you actually have a point, genius. He's got Millions of fans and followers, but he accuses us of having liberals of having this herd mentality? Where is it?

Liberals don't even have nationwide Talk Radio and a ludicrous "news" organization like Fox News. Not to mention pontificating hypocrites like Rush Limbaugh.

[Docta]

here's a link of rush talking about it today (http://movies.crooksandliars.com/rush-viagra.mp3)

as much as i can't stand the guy, this is pretty amusing

[Shlep]

So conservatives like talk radio; what of it? Anyway, I believe a number of Rushs' listeners are actually liberals who frequently tune in to confirm their loathing of him.

Call me Mark Rothko.

Mark Rothko!!

Wow, you mean Air America Radio, NPR, the New York Times, The Nation, CBS News, Mike Moores' past couple of films, and Al Gores' latest all ceased to exist? Was this before or after the majority of the screen acting and music industry vanished?

[lawdog]

This was literally the first headline I read today. I poured my coffee, pulled up my favorite news site, and there it was. Now, I'm not one for believing in omens of otherwise reading a lot of meanings into things, but if the idea of a tumescent Rush Limbaugh, Viagra-engorged and ready for action is the first one through your head in the morning, then in all likelihood the rest of the day is going to go poorly.

[akip]

tumescent

there's that word!! :)

[twentyshots]

he could be getting viagra for his solo 'recreation' time.
if that's the case oxycontin made him deaf and viagra may make him blind.*














*i stole this joke

[Homsar]

Oh GOD no! Viagra?!?!

WHAT A HORRIBLE THING TO BE CAUGHT WITH!!!!

Wow, things will be SO different now!

:rolleyes:


That's right. So sarcastic I actually used that smiley.

However, unlike Fox News, Rush and the myriad of other Conservative hosts, local and nationwide, they were NOT created as a network for the express purpose to deliver Propaganda.

i agree 100%. saw ken auletta on hard ball yesterday----no journalist tops him when it comes to covering the media. he stated the obvious---that while the nyt is liberal on its editorial page (as the wall street journal is conservative in its editorials), its journalism is not slanted----nor is wsj's. they're both great newspapers.

fox, on the other hand, is run by roger ailes, a republican political operative from way back. rush is in bed with all of those guys as well, and he's popping viagra.

Key word: created.
What they became is another matter. Maybe they've changed, I don't know.
I had grown tired of "man bites dog" stories being followed by "well, could it be that if funding weren't cut for mental health and welfare, that perhaps the man wouldn't have bitten the dog" type editorializing that was put forth as part of the news story.
I, for one, am amused by the collective wringing of hands over the emergence of Fox News as an annoying, editorializing conservative "news" organization. Sure, they embellish and editorialize on "man bites dog" stories. Two wrongs don't make a right. I'm just saying, welcome to the world from conservatives' viewpoint of news, at least in my adult lifetime. Slant has been there all along. Perhaps your opinions have been influenced subconsciously for so long, you've never seen the editorializing when it fits your viewpoint.

Oh GOD no! Viagra?!?!

WHAT A HORRIBLE THING TO BE CAUGHT WITH!!!!
He had it illegally after already being in trouble for obtaining drugs illegally. After he had already been given a light sentance. And all after he has been spewing rhetoric on the airwaves about family values, nailing drug addicts and drug dealers.

What was he, an unmarried man doing with viagra in the Dominican Republic? Frequenting cheap whores? Unmarried men shouldn't be having sex. :rolleyes:

[Furry Varmint]

As recounted in News of the Weird (http://www.newsoftheweird.com/archive/nw060604.html) :

"Wheelchair-confined Richard Paey committed almost exactly the same violations of Florida prescription drug laws that radio personality Rush Limbaugh did, with a different result: Limbaugh's sentence, in May, was addiction treatment, and Paey's, in 2004, was 25 years in prison. Both illegally possessed large quantities of painkillers for personal use, which Paey defiantly argued was (and will be) necessary to relieve nearly constant pain from unsuccessful spinal surgeries after an auto accident, but which Limbaugh admitted was simply the result of addiction. (In fact, if Limbaugh complies with his plea bargain, his conviction will be erased.) Paey's sentence now rests with a state Court of Appeal. [Tampa Tribune, 2-8-06]"

I tried to let this go, tried real hard, but I can't.

You are nearly perfectly WRONG. When F 9/11 came out and the droves of idiots went to see it we had conversations about this 'documentary' and how it was so good and right and all that bullshit. MM is worshipped by all the Bush haters and you know it. If MM says it the liberals believe it. Just like Rush, though, his audience has been decreasing as the realities of his 'facts' become apparent.

I don't see any difference, except your politics.

These are major news organizations. They were NOT created to specific vehicles for the delivery of particularly slanted message. Conservatives can call them whatever they want. The organizations can SEEM to lean whatever way they want.

And curiously, they tend to lean left. Regardless of why they were supposedly created (I'd have though to make investors and owners rich, like most media outlets) and by whom, they tend to be quite liberal.

Oh, I forgot to mention The Washington Post. They're liberal, period, even if they do throw a bone towards fairness and run Krauthammers' columns.

However, unlike Fox News, Rush and the myriad of other Conservative hosts, local and nationwide, they were NOT created as a network for the express purpose to deliver Propaganda.

1) Believe whatever you want. Liberal blowhards say that conservatives are strangling discourse with Fox News and a plethora of talk shows; conservative rabble-rousers claim that limousine liberals on both hosts have the media by the short and scruffies. I think they're both full of shit, and as with most things, the truth lies somewhere in between.

2) People talk about the dominance of conservative cant in the talk radio arena (this much I can agree with you on) as though armed mobs supporting Rush, Mike Savage, G. Gordon Liddy, Bill O'Reilly et al are running around seizing radio stations by force and using them at outposts to spread their gospel. This is, of course, crap. Radio hosts get shows, and those shows get syndicated, for one reason and one reason only: they get ratings, and high ratings draw in advertising revenues. It isn't the result of some sinister plot by a cabal of billionaire conservative media moguls to indoctrinate the proletariat.

[the_birds]

I tried to let this go, tried real hard, but I can't.

You know what?

You're exactly right.

I forgot about the 15 years of seeing "Ditto Michael Moore" on bumper stickers! Daily conversations about what Michael Moore said on the radio today. Arguing with people that Micheal Moore is right all the time.

Take bigger drags, you might get high enough to believe your own spew. I still shred conservatives here in the office, everyday when they come up to me with his utter bullshit.

But take solace in this. I have never liked Michael Moore, since he came out with Roger and Me, about downsizing at GM. I thought he was a whiny fuck and I still do. And he deliberately doesn't elaborate when it doesn't suit his arguement. Its chicken shit. Most liberals understand this.

I think more than anything, liberals gravitated to Michael Moore, because he was a voice for the feelings of Liberals at a time when the Democrats were sitting on their hands. Things have only moderately improved. But there is no great loyalty or leadership coming from Michael Moore and you can't honestly compare him to Rush.

[akip]

i don't like moore either. and i can't fucking stand amy goodman.

i like bill maher though. he cracks me up.
