Lush the Waterboy
Rush Limbaugh finally admitted he won’t be “carrying the water” anymore for people he doesn’t think “deserve to have their water carried.” He feels safe to say this because the GOP Party hierarchy is officially eating itself alive so no one is going to punish him for joining in.
“Carrying the water” is Lushspeak for “lying my fat ass off” or “slandering innocent people.” It’s Lushspeak for saying that the teenage male pages who were objects of Foley’s lust (and who later testified about his advances) were vicious kids pulling a prank on a gay congressman. It’s Lushspeak for accusing the victims of sexual harassment of being liars. It’s Lushspeak for saying that a famous actor with a terminal disease who campaigned against a republican over the stem-cell issue was faking his symptoms.
Seriously, if you listen to this clown (John McCain’s description) and are a fan you are a moral failure of a human being. He lies constantly. He lied about Michael J. Fox’s endorsed candidate voting against the bill Fox was advocating for. He lied about paying a settlement to law enforcement authorities to drop their charges against him. He advocated in the past for the stiffer pursuit and prosecution of white drug offenders and then cried foul when they came after him. These are just the things I can remember him saying in the past year off the top of my head.
He’s sick. He tacitly admits to lying. He does it constantly, and all in the service of the GOP. He is so base as to routinely slander people to shill for corrupt politicians.
Apparently there are 20 million people in this country who don’t mind being lied to, 20 million people who so desperately want to believe in a set of principles that they will close their minds and let craven thugs like Limbaugh lie to them and never confront their faith in him by seeking out a second source or bothering to check up on his infinite set of factual inaccuracies or remembering what he said yesterday that is the opposite of what he said today. 20 million people whose conscience doesn’t raise a red flag when their hero slanders sexual harassment victims baselessly and, in fact, in the face of all evidence.
Is this Reagan’s legacy? An army of trolls and moral perverts who have no concern for the truth or common decency? Tens of millions of people who any nation would consider a shame to count as citizens?
