Santorum calls Limbaugh ‘absurd’

[ProSense]

Santorum calls Limbaugh ‘absurd’ | Rick Santorum labeled Rush Limbaugh “absurd” over the hate radio host’s disparaging remarks about Sandra Fluke. “He’s being absurd, but that’s you know, an entertainer can be absurd,” Santorum told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer today. “He’s in a very different business than I am.” CNN’s Jim Acosta reports that, when Mitt Romney was asked about Limbaugh, he ignored it and “walked right by our camera.”

1. The problem for Romney is that he doesn't have a position on this issue yet that he can flip-flop on

After determining an opinion, he will be able to flip on the position so everyone will know his real opinion.

15. actually

we may have slick willard by the Huevos... Rush is on clear channel--> clear channel owned by you guessed it Bains Capital..

[nykym]

2. Santorum apology in

3...2...1...

[Enrique]

3. this is Gingrich's big chance

Newt can get back in the race by being the only one with the guts to defend Rush from the feminazis!

4. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. n/t

7. Santorum is

definitely a "broken clock"

I don't recall Santorum distancing himself from Foster Freiss:

And speaking of "absurd," has Santorum heard himself: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002335392

21. Also, every now and then, a hog finds an acorn. No, not THAT acorn.

5. Romney: "Someone please tell me what position to take so I can get elected"

"I'll go eat Rush's feces on air if it'll work."

[JanMichael]

8. yep

love the "oh, he's just a clown!" response. You know, no one really takes those entertainers seriously...

[gratuitous]

10. Yep, you knew it was coming

The "just an entertainer" dodge. Whenever one of Limbaugh's deathless pronouncements goes too far, he's just an entertainer. But on every other subject, well, let's just say if Moses had been up on Mt. Sinai with Rush instead of the Good Lord, we'd have a far different set of commandments for the Republicans to slavishly and mindlessly follow.

18. Of course,

he's both the king of the GOP and a court jester, which doesn't say much about the GOP.

6. I love hearing that *thump-thump* sound...

of the Drugster being thrown under the bus!

[hamsterjill]

9. They always try to twist things, don't they?

It's supposed to be okay for Rush to say things like that because he's an entertainer? I don't think so.

Entertainer?

Really, entertainer????

If it's one thing that Rush Limbaugh is NOT...it's an entertainer.

What Rush Limbaugh IS...is a mysogynistic, hate-mongering drug addict.

[11 Bravo]

20. Exactly! Aren't entertainers supposed to be ... you know ... entertaining?

[hifiguy]

11. How terminally fucked are you when Frothy calls you absurd?

And have I mentioned recently what a dick Frothy is? The Bloated Sack may have finally done himself some real damage.

[Jello Biafra]

12. So let's call Ricky's wife a slut and prostitute then........n/t

[pokerfan]

13. yet he supported the Blunt amendment

He must be splitting some hairs here. Then there's this from 2006:

"I guess it is and have voted for contraception, although I don't think it works. I think it's harmful to women. I think it's harmful to our society to have a society that says that sex outside of marriage is something that should be encouraged or tolerated ..., particularly among the young and it has I think we've seen very, very harmful long-term consequences to the society. Birth control to me enables that and I don't think it's a healthy thing for our country."

[ProSense]

19. Well, that

"yet he supported the Blunt amendment "

...is water under the bridge for today. Rush is being called out for his idiotic remarks so Santorum has to pretend to be reasonable.

He'll get back to waging his personal war on women tomorrow.

14. Entertainer

That's the word that the sheep use to justify the hatred spewing from every piehole of every hate-filled repig pundit.

The "party of personal responsibility" is as far removed from that as is humanly possible.

[Jack Sprat]

16. No surprise, Romney does a little sidestep

and cuts into the clear. The guy has the moves of an apparition when he hears a troublesome question.

[joeybee12]

17. Hey, you don't want to piss off the head of the Repuke party...

Naturally they won't comment on President Limpballs slurs.
