Q. What's the difference between the Hindenburg and Rush Limbaugh?
A. One is a flaming Nazi gasbag; the other is a dirigible.

is not related to having sex with underage Dominican prostitutes. Unlike the flaming Nazi gasbag in question.

The pic in the OP was the inspiration for, arguably, the greatest rock record ever (Led Zeppelin). I want Rush in no way associated with them.

One is a flaming, Nazi airbag and the other is dirigible.

why is it every four years these a$$hats bring up abortion ? why only womens productive rights? No one ever bats an eye if men have their tubes cut. I wonder if mr limbaugh ever witnessed a back alley abortion or any of the current clergy in the catholic church who brought us the boy abuse scandel, and never repented. My late mum did and it wasnt pretty. I feel that this persentor has gone over the top this time and i hope that the lady who he insulted in the national spot light and probably dosent even know her, sues the tar out of him and or gets a appology ( oops ppl like that dont appologize, john wayne)over the air of his net work and the stations get fined big time

the media has little outrage for that, so the public is much less aware of it.

This has got to be the first time I ever remember a full on media firestorm over misogyny!!! And I am glad--FINALLY!!!! Took them long enough!

even if he or his ilk did, it wouldn't matter- it is all about controlling women. All else be damned.

He only had Oreck advertising.... He survived then. I suspect he'll survive this time too.

There are always going to be mouthbreathers for him to lead and mislead.

The problem here is that even if he were to lose his advertisers and his show tomorrow. He would still be laughing all the way to the bank.
Plus, he's influenced the next generation of right wing gasbags by showing how low you can stoop and still make money.

There's no real punishment for his actions.
