I don’t know if this will strike anybody else as hilariously as it strikes me. But I literally laughed out loud at this.
Fuck him. Fuck you.

Rush quotes:
"Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women access to the mainstream of society."
"Women should not be allowed on juries where the accused is a stud."
"Women still live longer than men because their lives are easier." He wasn't interested in unity.— Jay (@ligonlaw) February 18, 2021
Rush Limbaugh called Chelsea Clinton a dog when she was 12
So much for unity.

Guess what Jim? When you die the exact same phrases will be trending.

Maybe I’ve finally lost it, and maybe this is juvenile, but this is the most succinct statement of exactly where things stand that I’ve seen in a while. Less is more and this is very few words, but these few tweets tell the story perfectly. This would be a good entry for a time capsule, to be dug up by a future civilization. This isn’t new information, but it’s a perfect encapsulation of what we already know.
He’s convinced he’s an Important Person. (Not the only one who thinks that way.) What he’s missing is that Rush was a cancer on US media, and his poison is still in the system.
The word “missing” attributes to him a measure of good faith even though he is nothing but bad faith. He isn’t missing anything. He embraced the poison and spreads the same poison.
I don’t twitter but if I did my response would be: Lighten up “Gym.” You IGNORED your wrestlers at Ohio
State reports of sexual misconduct and outright abuse. Insults to Limbaugh should be relatively easy for you to ignore so STFU!
“GYM” Jordan, has to know the horrible hate that Limburger was famous for, his huge improper respect for an Actor’s battle with a disease that has made his life a living hell with loss of control of his own body movements, [Parkinson’s disease] …
That may have been why Trump was so rude and crude to a person, (in the press room) he met that had his own hellish disease to fight, so Trump made one of his worst displays at his podium of lies and stupidity, making faces and waving his arms like the idiotic jackass he is …
As I said before, one less voice spewing hate and poison over the airwaves. Now if we could just get his clones shut down…
All they have is hypocritical statements, smug arrogance, and lies. For him to use the word, ‘unity,’ is ridiculous.
It’s also a case of projection if you look at it the right way, Cmae. To wit, they’re crying for the unity of the American conservative movement, which is now over and out. As events in PA are proving, they will gladly rip each other apart now that their dreams have failed so miserably.
OMG! I was able to comment! Hallelujah!
Some brains are clearly damaged. It’s sad. Like watching a bird with a broken leg hopping around chirping loudly, ” I can fly! I can fly!” “Jealousy & stupidity do not equal harmony.” John Prine
“Genius has its limitations but stupidity is boundless.” –Oscar Wilde
As we know, the only “unity” Gym Jordan cares about is called buggery by much of the world!
I still can’t sign in, though. It says my email is incorrect.
I stayed away for a few days, hoping the bugs would work out, but the site issloweur than ever, and my posts still don’t appear for hours.
Anastasia, please take this the way I mean is, as constructive: who cares if there’s a delay in the comments appearing? It’s a small thing. We will iron it out. We have so much bigger things going on now. Our tech person is down in Texas in rolling blackouts and can’t even start working because she has no electricity. I will get everything squared away as soon as I can. Rome wasn’t built in a day. Please try to just hang and deal with things as they come.
Ok, I’ll check back in a few more days.
I had the same problem when the site moved.
Contact their support email (link at bottom of the page), they helped me out very quickly.
Cmae, you’re here. What can’t you do? You’re here and you’re commenting, right? Did you try to go to [email protected]?
Gym Jordan is the living embodiment of “disunity.” For him to even remotely think this is what anyone means by “unity” is cynical. This is the party that has repeatedly blamed people for their own deaths. I wonder what he had to say about the 2005 suicide of this Ohio State sports doctor: https://abc7chicago.com/ohio-state-abuse-doctor-scandal-wrestling-university/5305957/
Gym Jordan should be canonized when he dies.
He has covered up cases of kid-touching like a Pope.
25 years after it was written, no one has EVER topped Al Franken’s “Rush Limbaugh Is A Big Fat Idiot And Other Observations” in terms of the truth about the recently deceased. Might I suggest looking it up to metaphorically piss on the grave? Franken even tells a couple of Rush stories that don’t get told often enough.
I do so admire and respect Al Franken. I opposed his hatchet job. I don’t know if you caught that back in the day on Daily Kos, but I called it a kangaroo court that was judging Franken. People started kosmailing me and telling me that I was so brave to say what I said. Not at all. Franken is a jewel. He’s a very bright man and he was a good senator and we lost a lot when he left. That was my opinion then, it has only intensified since he’s been gone.
Yeah, I saw all that, Ursula. It was very much BS but Franken handled it the right way. Probably better than most of his former colleagues in the Senate, he knew what he was getting into and he knew needed to take one for the team.
But carry this consolation with you. Franken got to be a US Senator, is still on his first wife and is still very much with us. Rush failed at ever being anything but an embarrassment outside the right-wing bubble (from the Pat Sajak Show to NFL commentator), couldn’t stay married to save his life and is now dead.
What would be truly “brave” (since virtually every progressive was indignant about how Franken was forced resign) is to push back against the misogynist demonization of Kirsten Gllibrand who wasn’t responsible for leading him to resign — that was all on Chuck Schumer, and I believe he had some serious concerns that seemed valid at the time that led him to do so. But I will never forgive the army of Franken groupies for what they did to Gillibrand.
