while rush was infinitely more of a force in conservative politics, i felt herman cain's death was way, way funnier.

Herman Cain was wrong about a lot of things, important things, he certainly harmed a lot of people, but I think for the most part didn't know what he was doing and was greedy, but greedy in a way that most people are and would be if they fell into his life.

Rush, like Trump, was cruel and evil because it entertained him, his show hasn't been a profitable enterprise in years, he was just a dying cat batting around a mouse for fun. Rush chose to spend his last moments on earth, fully knowing that they were his last moments on earth, by intentionally yammering on and on the radio, harming people instead of a yacht in Monaco being sucked off by prostitutes high as gently caress on cocaine, because being malevolent was the only real joy he was capable of.

I hope his hospice nurse was a fat, trans, black, same-sex married, woman that was mean to him in his last moments.

Rush was directly responsible for the brain worms that led to me severing from my father. Like all the homophobia I dealt with directly because he taught my father his vile poo poo. And that's not counting, y'know, EVERYTHING else he's done that y'all have mentioned already.

I pretty much never wish that anyone dies painfully or alone. Not even people that abused me.

But I hope he did.

someone in gip came up with this one and I assume it's original :shrug:

Noted Piece of poo poo Rush Limbaugh, known to many as "That motherfucker," was dragged into the depths of hell this morning after a long battle with the forces of decency and literacy. A man so racist and lacking in character that even the National Football League denied him his plantation-owner fantasies, Limbaugh's broadcast talents were rivaled only by Lord Haw-Haw and perhaps even Goebbels himself. As per his will, Limbaugh's casket is to be lined with radioactive isotopes and his grave regularly sprayed with DDT, to ensure that he may continue poisoning the earth long after ceasing to poison the airwaves. He will be missed only by those who he mislead, and cursed to damnation for many years to come.

I don't know, given he was infamous for going on vacations without his wife to places widely known for underage prostitution.

oh for sure. while i am firmly ACAB (All Conservatives Are Bad), cain never seemed as malicious as rush, and seemed to embrace his more goofy side (hence why he was my choice for republican presidential nominee in 2012 :911:

). while i'm not going to go on a quest to revive cain with the dragonballs, i do feel there were plenty of other republicans who should have gotten to the front of the line first

POINT: Rush Limbaugh Was A Vile Motherfucker, By David Roth

While Rush Limbaugh III made his name�which was ridiculous and absolutely perfect, just an absolute parody of what a rich rear end in a top hat blowhard might be named in a too-overt satirical novel about a country made untenable by its proud aversion to both empathy and accountability�as a conservative political commentator, he also spent much of his professional life around sports. Alongside vilifying and degrading his most vulnerable fellow citizens for money, Limbaugh�s sports fandom was a lifelong passion�he was a longtime supporter of the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Nebraska Cornhuskers, and every dehumanizing social force in American life.

After struggling early in his radio career under the name �Bachelor Jeff� Christie, Limbaugh returned home to Missouri and took a sales job with the Kansas City Royals in 1979, eventually rising to the role of Director of Group Sales and Special Events as the Royals became a perennial power in the American League. A long career in slavish service to power and pretend royalty followed, broadcasting under his (ridiculous, like the name of a dimwitted plantation owner who is repeatedly swindled out of his pants in a lesser Mark Twain short story) real name for the first time at Kansas City�s KMBZ. His name would in time become synonymous with conservative media and Republican politics, which is the sort of thing that would look like a compliment to someone unfamiliar with either of those things.

By the time ESPN brought Limbaugh in as a studio commentator in 2003, he was arguably a bigger cultural presence than the NFL itself, and the voice of a fan community�loathsome white men with money living in gaudy suburban homes�that the league desperately wanted to reach and retain, which again is one of those things that looks impressive just as a collection of words but is depressing pretty much however you look at it. Limbaugh lasted just a few weeks on the job, because an objectively idiotic comment about Donovan McNabb�Limbaugh, bringing his signature perspective to bear on the sport he loved, thought McNabb was getting too much credit because �the media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well��led to a predictable and deserved backlash.

It was, in its way, all perfectly Limbaugh, both in terms of how he Invited Controversy and Sparked Conversation without actually saying or doing anything interesting or insightful or remotely new himself, and also because the combination of his bottomless carny cynicism and sincere personal reprehensibility made it impossible to parse just how much of a calculated work it really was. In his later career, Limbaugh pretty much did the same poo poo he always did, for a tremendous audience but far from the mainstream success that he simultaneously sought and reviled as part of his broader gambit. He spent his last years sucking up to Donald Trump, one of the few men alive to match Limbaugh�s own passions for getting divorced and listening to himself talk, and received the Presidential Medal of Freedom last year.

It was a fitting final moment in a distinctly American life�two men, born rich and with deep love for themselves and without any redeeming qualities, who recognized that pushing the worst and most destructive lies in the nation�s history could win them the stupid gilded glory they sought, honoring each other for how much each honored the other. Two people who lived to laugh at the wreckage they made, who never learned anything or loved anything, whose wealth and personal damage ensured that they were somehow never told to shut the gently caress up over the course of their long and brutal lives, who would sooner die than be held accountable for anything or indeed acknowledge that any power on earth or in heaven could hold them to that account, recognizing in the other the only thing they could appreciate, which was their own reflection.

COUNTERPOINT: I Agree, He Was A Piss Man And The World Is Better For His Death, By Albert Burneko

Rush Limbaugh worked for pretty much every day of his adult life to make the world worse. Not different, just worse, just meaner and dumber in precisely every way it was already mean and dumb. He did not have some well-intentioned vision of a better world that just differed from yours or mine; he had no real politics, in the particular (and, for everyone else, intensely political) way that a certain class of white man can aggressively have no real politics to speak of, and he certainly had no moral or ethical base that is worth you thinking about or taking seriously. He was inchoate and stupid and unexamined spite transubstantiated into pork. Maybe, maybe he authentically hated people who were different from him. Maybe he hated the idea that those people might want their circumstances improved, and that someday regarding them as human might become a baseline norm of American life. He certainly portrayed himself that way; so what. That is the absolute most you can grant him by way of thoughts or ideas that may have remained with him even when there was not a microphone or camera in his face. More centrally, more to the point and the bottomlessly bleak meaning of him: He discovered that he could get rewarded by the people he did regard as human for lashing out, as viciously and with as much sneering, undisguised dishonesty as he could muster, at those he did not regard as human, and he did that for as long as anybody knew his name. Now he�s dead, not one moment too soon and many decades too late. He lives on in innumerable interchangeable worthless smirking morons and hustlers. The world will never miss him; he�s everywhere you look.

LOL ALERT:

quote:

Former Sen. Bob Dole, a folksy Kansas conservative and onetime presidential candidate, announced Thursday he is suffering from advanced lung cancer.

Dole, 97, says he has been diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer and will begin an undisclosed treatment regimen Monday.

�I certainly have some hurdles ahead,� Dole said in a statement. �I join millions of Americans facing health challenges of their own.�

Dole served two stints as Senate Majority Leader and ran a failed race for vice president on a 1976 ticket headed by Gerald Ford, who lost to Jimmy Carter.

But Dole best known for his failed 1996 Republican White House bid.

He lost to incumbent President Bill Clinton in a landslide, with Clinton winning by about 10 percentage points. Independent Ross Perot played spoiler, picking up about 9% and was blamed for giving Clinton wins in several key states.

Dole retired from politics after he lost the presidential race.

He remained a staunch conservative and became the only former GOP presidential nominee to back Donald Trump in 2016.

I didn't truly LOL until I read the last sentence. During the 90s, I remember many late nite talk show jokes about bob dole being old, slow, and out of touch. And then he publicly admitted to being on Viagra??? And then he was in a superbowl commerical lusting over Britney Spears???? o well, bye binch
