Limbaugh mocks Sotomayor’s fractured ankle

On his June 8 radio program, Republican talk show host Rush Limbaugh took an amazingly low shot at President Barack Obama’s nominee to the Supreme Court.

Reacting to news that Sonya Sotomayor fractured her ankle in a slight stumble at a New York airport, Limbaugh asked, “Now, the question is, would a white, male judge have fractured his ankle in the same circumstances?”

Rush, having previously called Sotomayor a “reverse racist” and “hack” whom he hopes to fail, said recently that he may actually support her candidacy if there’s a hit of possibility for her support of overturning Roe v. Wade, which guarantees the woman’s right to reproductive choice.

This clip was taken by Media Matters, broadcast June 8, 2009, on Rush Limbaugh’s radio program.

4. LOL!

Literally. Good one, madmom.

3. He's really helping her sail through the confirmation vote.

But then Limpballs generally hurts the GOP and its agenda.

Chief justice tumbles after seizure

(snip)

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Chief Justice John Roberts suffered a seizure Monday, causing him to fall while at his summer home off the coast of Maine, the Supreme Court said.

Roberts has "fully recovered from the incident," and a neurological evaluation "revealed no cause for concern," the Supreme Court said in a statement.

Doctors called the incident a "benign idiopathic seizure," similar to one suffered by the chief justice in 1993, the court statement said. An idiopathic seizure is one with no identifiable physiological cause.

A source close to the chief justice told CNN that Roberts fell five to 10 feet after the seizure.

Roberts, 52, was conscious after the fall, which caused only minor scrapes, the Supreme Court said.

The chief justice was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital where he was expected to stay overnight, officials said.

A hospital spokesman would not discuss the case, citing privacy concerns.

Sources close to the chief justice said Roberts suffered an unexplained seizure in 1993, soon after his first nomination to the D.C. circuit stalled in the Senate.

12. Idiopathic?

Maybe his brain was installed by Microsoft. My computer does the same thing once or twice a day.

10. What else would you expect from the leader of the GOP? NT

[rasputin1952]

11. She probably refused to give him some of her percocet for pain...

now he's going to be unmerciful, because he didn't get his "share of oxycodone.

The man is a sociopath, not a single thought as to her pain and suffering after an accident. What an incredible piece of crap...x(

13. Also today: Rush called Obama "a half-black, half-white human being with no experience."

He is obsessed with race and ethnicity. It will eventually be his downfall.

It will take a LOT more to bring Rush down than it did Trent Lott or Don Imus, but he's crossing the line every single day. He will eventually call Obama the "N" word, or will overtly call for his assassination. Rush is nuts. And he has been far more dangerous than many here will admit over the past 20 years.

15. rush is 1/2

pig and 1/2 hyena. My apologies to pigs and hyenas.

14. I bet he knows where to get Oxycontin for the pain NT
