    Rush Limbaugh spoke...and Jesus stretched forth his might arm...

    If you were finding your faith flagging, herewith reinforcement for believers.

     

    Rush Limbaugh's ticket to Hell has been punched, and it won't be a pleasant ride.

     

    Meanwhile, Samuel L Jackson responded with commentary

    Evidently, Limbaugh has gotten the medal he wanted...

     

     I would like a medal for smoking cigars, is what I’m saying.

    WTF? From your Limbotomy 2015 link:

    RUSH: " Firsthand smoke takes 50 years to kill people, if it does. Not everybody that smokes gets cancer. Now, it’s true that everybody who smokes dies, but so does everyone who eats carrots. "

    It will take F---ing 50 years to kill him libtardss..!!!!!

    If he doesn't make it that long it'll be cuz the carrots dimwit.. he predicted it PERFECT GENIUS!


    As a subtext, behold the impotence of mere wealth in fhe face of entrenched ignorance!  Here is a guy who could have availed himself of a variety of early warning scans, etc, which would have only been prudent given his tobacco history.

     

    He even had a few anticipatory issues in 2013, but managed to evade the penetration of alarm into his fat smug brain.


    Just In...

    Maybe she can circulate the "get well soon, Rush" card at the next debate (where she will, thank you, Jesus, be a spectator only).



    Medal of Freedumb.


    Serendipitously, (or perhaps purposefully) Facebook conveniently adduced this ad to my feed.  We can now price wih precision the foregone cost of early warning (happily) avoided by the Nazi Gasbag

     

     

    Full-body Scan

    Our most advanced scan. It screens for cancers in the head, neck, chest, abdomen and pelvis.

    $1950

    $180/month if paid monthly

    • 60-minute scan
    • Organs included: brain, thyroid, liver, kidneys, pancreas, gallbladder, adrenal glands, bladder, prostate, and bones (for lesions from multiple myeloma).
    • For men at high risk of lung cancer, the Ezra medical provider may also include a low dose CT (LDCT) of the lungs, at no extra charge.

    Edit to add: for extra irony, I bet that's less than half the cost of a box of Cohibas...



    Since Lenny Bruce and the JFK assassination were invoked, I will see the Kobe Bryant joke and raise it by Paul Krassner.

     

     

     

    Krassner's most notorious satire was the article "The Parts That Were Left Out of the Kennedy Book", which followed the censorship of William Manchester's book on the Kennedy assassinationThe Death of a President. At the climax of the grotesque-genre short-story, Lyndon B. Johnson is described as having sexually penetrated the bullet-hole wound in the throat of John F. Kennedy's corpse.[15] According to Elliot Feldman, "Some members of the mainstream press and other Washington political wonks, including Daniel Ellsberg of Pentagon Papers fame, actually believed this incident to be true."[16] In a 1995 interview for the magazine Adbusters, Krassner commented: "People across the country believed – if only for a moment – that an act of presidential necrophilia had taken place. It worked because Jackie Kennedy had created so much curiosity by censoring the book she authorized – William Manchester's The Death Of A President – because what I wrote was a metaphorical truth about LBJ's personality presented in a literary context, and because the imagery was so shocking, it broke through the notion that the war in Vietnam was being conducted by sane men."[17]

    Jonah Goldberg outs one of the fans as ranting and raving rabid foaming at the mouth, and still playing the bitter angry victim of the vast left wing conspiracy as if nothing every changed since 1992. (For those who don't remember, his mother, referred to here, is Lucianne Goldberg of the Lewinsky blue dress, a participant in the vast right wing conspiracy, she was the friend of Linda Tripp who heard the Monica Lewinsksy story from Linda and also already had a p.r. connection with Drudge.):


    and none other than Ben Wittes gave him back up on the outing!
