  • RitornaVincitor · 2 months ago
    Rush Limbaugh. College flunk out. Draft avoider. Critic of decorated war heroes. Imitator of people with Parkinson's Disease. Racist. Homophobe. Sexist. Braggart. Viagra smuggler. Thrice divorced Family Values advocate. Prescription drug addict. Tasteless. Classless. Possible GOP presidential candidate.

    Don't forget anal cyst sufferer.
  • RitornaVincitor · 2 months ago
    I think of him more as the anal cyst.
  • PeteWa · 2 months ago
    don't forget "child sex tourist"
  • RitornaVincitor · 2 months ago
    Oh geez! I didn't hear about that one.

    Perhaps, if he had sat on one back during the Vietnam days himself, it might have corrected that "cyst" on his grand behind and he would have been available to serve his country proudly, instead of taking a deferment like his hero, "five deferment" Cheney.

    The term "go sit on "blank"" has long been another way of saying "get F**ked"

    Men who have to buy affection are often the ones who treat women the worst. Limbaugh is a classic example of impotent and angry. Pathetic.
  • Zorba · 2 months ago
    Ooooooh- sounds like Rushbo the Anal Cystic is still crabby about not being allowed to buy the St. Louis Rams. He needs to take a few more of his Oycontins and mellow out.

    I'll give the obvious conservative response:

    "But he did it in jest, so that makes it ok."
  • HereinDC · 2 months ago
    I think you are too kind John. I think he meant to douche.....which I think is more if an insult than F herself.
  • John Aravosis · 2 months ago
    Woah. Okay, that's even worse if that's what he meant.

    I think that would make him apoploptic..... ;-)
  • HereinDC · 2 months ago
    Kind of obvious why he's thrise divorced. The man is a pig.
  • KerrynowCampau · 2 months ago
    I'm surprised women marry him in the first place
    I hope they took him for a lot of $$$
  • Lee270 · 2 months ago
    He said "go sit on a fire hydrant...", not what you said in the head line. Just because Rush makes things up doesn't mean you should.
  • bob123890 · 2 months ago
    John didn't quote him as saying that. He was giving his interpretation of what Rush said, which is why I go to this blog: to get John's interpretation. If you don't like it you can go get fucked by a fire hydrant.
  • PeteWa · 2 months ago
    Go Cheney yourself.

  • Zorba · 2 months ago
    Who doesn't know that "sit on...." is a euphemism for "get f**cked by".... whatever? Geez, I'm 61 years old, and even I know this- it's been around a lo-o-o-o-ng time.
  • John Aravosis · 2 months ago
    Never underestimate people's ability to not understand something, or to deny the obvious. We've had these little language battles before on the blog with people who simply weren't familiar with common English expressions.
  • Zorba · 2 months ago
    Ah, well, maybe the doubters are very, very young, John. "Sit on...." has been around for at least 30 years or more, and we all certainly knew what it meant back then. OTOH, maybe you're right and it's just a big ol' bunch of denial.
  • Steve_in_CNJ · 2 months ago
    the only safe way to use fire hydrants to express disapproval is to say "go lie on a fire hydrant". then there's no possibility of misunderstanding.
  • nozzelhead · 2 months ago
    isnt the proper term "go lay on a fire hydrant?"
  • jackofallthumbs · 2 months ago
    John,

    Being older than you, I'm probably even more familiar with the expression, so I understood the intent. But the headline is misleading, a trait I'd prefer be associated with the other side rather than our own. If 'sitting on a fire hydrant' is so obvious (and it is) then what's the problem with using that as the headline?

    On the up side: you are now a nationally recognized voice. I for one am very pleased with that.

    On the down side: if you don't bring your A game every damn time, it reflects badly on the good you have done.
  • DKF · 2 months ago
    For your sake, Lee, please tell us you're being arch here. If you're not, I wonder how you manage to get through daily life without assistance.
  • John Aravosis · 2 months ago
    Sorry, but in the English language, he meant for her to get fucked the fire hydrant. It's not really debatable. Or rather, tell us what you think he meant, about improving her day by sitting on a fire hydrant. Because, they're so warm and have good fung schway (sp?)

    Thanks for the information, Mike. I just sent them an e-mail telling them what he said, and how we took it. This man is a pig.
  • Gregory Lyons · 2 months ago
    That RUSH!!!!

    Such star power. He has you chattering, no???

    He does his job very well. AND he has such willing helpers... here, there, and everywhere!
  • skeeball · 2 months ago
    Its statements like this, far more than the race baiting, that cause the NFL to want no part of Rush
  • Lynn Wilson · 2 months ago
    I can't stand the man but I'm equally disturbed by misleading headlines such as this one. That's not what he said, and I find myself not wanting to read future posts when I can't trust the one I'm reading.
  • John Aravosis · 2 months ago
    Really Lynn? Tell me what he meant by telling her sit on a fire hydrant to improve her day. You don't think he meant she should get fucked by the fire hydrant? Then what did he mean? Tell us.
  • burro · 2 months ago
    But he didn't say it. He said go sit on a fire hydrant. It's physically impossible so there's that but whenever someone says, "I'm screwed" or "He's screwed" or "That sucks" or a thousand other variations, no one gets upset. Hell, being "pissed off" doesn't even make sense.

    "Sit on it and rotate?" How silly is that? It's just a dumb saying. Rush is a jerk but what he said was more dismissive than insulting. If people really want to imagine that person with a fire hydrant, they will be conjuring up scenes that are gross, violent and ridiculous.

    Once again, I think Rush is getting undeserved attention that just feeds his ego.
  • Steve_in_CNJ · 2 months ago
    yet you agree with john on the value of the discussion, or you wouldn't have found the time to contribute 3 paragraphs.
  • nozzelhead · 2 months ago
    but of course, rush needs to be called out constantly. the repugs and their thugs are eating their young right now. keep up the pressure on these disgusting human-beings.

    rush is as slippery as a butterball
  • Outraged2 · 2 months ago
    Nope, he definitely meant "fucked". Unless he meant she should be "fisted" by a fire hydrant. But, no, I think he certainly meant "fucked". Isn't that a bit misogynistic though. So what does that make? Three hundred and fifty two racist comments (except for those two he didn't make) and six hundred and twenty seven misogynistic comments? Way to go Rushbo!
  • Mary ellen · 2 months ago
    I agree with you Lynn...the headline written here was put up for pure "shock" value, not any different than the shock jocks on the radio like Rush Limbaugh. Ridiculous to add the F______ if that wasn't what he said.

    If it's implied, let it be implied and not written out as if that's what he said.
  • bob123890 · 2 months ago
    Are you an idiot? That is what it means.
  • Dave of the Jungle · 2 months ago
    Limpbrain himself spews liquefied human excrement like a hydrant, come to think of it.
  • Eric · 2 months ago
    Because Rush knows he sure can't make her day.

    It seems to me that all the negative vibes this blowhard (Rush Hudson Limbaugh A.KA. Jeff Christie) has been spewing over these many years has come back to blow back on his face (A classic “Blow Back”). He always tries to give off the airs that he can have anything he wants but as we all witness those with more money and more influence tossed him aside like sack of potatoes and the ultimate insult was that it was done in public (money don’t buy you everything butterball).

    Now of course he blames everyone else (Michael J. Fox, Perez Hilton, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Sonia Sotomayor, Hillary Clinton, Olympia Snowe, ESPN, NFL, the media, basically people of color, the handicapped, women and gays) when of course all you have to do is listen to his show and plainly hear his daily prejudices filled sermons. So NFL, I salute you decision, job well done. And to the whaling cry baby perched on his self made pedestal, quit your whining it was your own fault. He is reaping what he has sowed, KARMA, "palin and simple" like his followers. Don’t we all feel better?
  • HereinDC · 2 months ago
    "she's a....she's actually....."

    When Rush says those words and then sort of hesitates.....

    you can tell he wanted to say..."she's a kind of hot"

    ( I've listesned to Rush......and I can tell that's what was in his mind....but he corrected him self before he let it slip out ) THAT'S the kind of pig he is.

    It's at 0:14 in the audio

  • serge · 2 months ago
    I agree with all respondents that the Limbaugh is of lesser quality than a flaming bag of dog shit on Ann Coulter's front porch.

    I wonder if his CNN aversion might also stem (Warning: ewwww alert) from his two year relationship with Daryn Kagan when she was at CNN. Was their future not to be with one another? Was she just not into coprophilia as much as he was? Did she mock his micro-penis one time too many, thereby causing and earning his subsequent loathing of all things CNN?
  • Paul · 2 months ago
    The NFL decides who becomes an owner not the other way around.

    All this blowhard (Rush Hudson Limbaugh A.KA. Jeff Christie) has to offer is his money and his opinions, (which in my opinion are on the fringes of racism, one mans opinion). There are many more groups biding for the Rams, not just his group. Lets face it there are more men with money (Marshall Faulk) that will gladly fill the slot and the Rams will win or lose depending on how well they work as a team and not on whether or not Rush is an owner.

    As for Vick, well he is a player (he has talent not like you, Rush or I, unless you are a NFL player?) and he served his time and the NFL decided we live in the land of second chances, so why not (I personally don’t like it but, oh well). Life has never been fair (NEWS FLASH!)

    Now as to the “Free Speech” argument, I guess many of you like myself heard Rush on Thursday “Almost in tears”, priceless. But the last couple of days he now is in his normal ranting and will continue until someone surpasses him, “Free Speech” continues, so what is being stifled, it simply is not true, of course, you may not have a radio, so you might want to get one.
