LYING LIMBAUGH

Enabling the Stupid & the Misinformed

Today I listened to Rush Limbaugh for a little longer than I normally do-I usually catch maybe 5-8 minutes of his first hour but since Al Franken is on vacation this week and they're playing his 'best of', I decided to listen to Limbaugh. After all, it was either Limbaugh or O'Reilly and I flipped a coin and the fatter of the two idiots won.

Nothing ever changes with the right-wing's 'Mr. Family Values', you know, the three-time married, three-time divorced, fake a back injury hillbilly heroin addict, who is the spokesperson for Republicans and certainly George W. Bush and Karl Rove. At least that's what he say's anyway.

But as usual, anytime I listen to Limbaugh I can always count on some type of lie or misinformation about every 10-15 minutes. Today I gave him about 30 minutes so I'd like to write about two of his lies on today's show.

1. Limbaugh said that the 9/11 Commission's report stated Clinton was offered bin Laden by Sudan three times and he turned it down.
THE FACTS *
Here's what the 9/11 Commission actually said;
"We have not found any reliable evidence to support the Sudanese claim."

The report say's nothing of the sort. Limbaugh knows it's not true but he say's it anyway knowing his listeners don't have a clue. The 'ditto-heads' repeat the lie.

2. Limbaugh laughed when he mentioned 'Tora Bora' and how crazy Democrats still raise the lie of how Bush, through General Tommy Franks allowed Osama bin Laden to escape the mountains at Tora Bora. The fact of the matter is, Franks committed a huge blunder when he had bin Laden trapped and instead of using our special forces he allowed local Afghan warlord's fighters, some of who had previous close ties to al Qaeda, to go in instead. As we know, bin Laden slipped out the backdoor and has evaded us ever since. The Bush Administration conceded as much when it said in April 2002, "its gravest error in the war against al Qaeda".

Now, that was in a 30 minute span of listening to the Republican lying mouth piece. I won't even bring up his pathetic rant about feeling sorry for Wen Ho Lee, when, if I remember correctly, he was one of the loudest antagonists against Lee when Lee was first arrested and charged with espionage. Limbaugh tried to use it at the time as proof the Clinton administration was allowing the Chinese to get away with spying on us. Now, he acts like he believed Lee was innocent the whole time. The guy is a pathological liar.

I can't imagine listening to that bullshit everyday for 3 hours a day. No wonder ditto heads are so misinformed and quite frankly, stupid.

I'll give another update of 'Lying Limbaugh' when Al Franken goes on vacation again. In the meantime, keep listening ditto heads, it's more fun this way.
