The Mudflats

Tiptoeing Through the Muck of Alaskan Politics

Five Years and Counting…

Yes, Rush Limbaugh just said that if health care passed, and is implemented in five years, he will LEAVE THE COUNTRY! If there was ever incentive for Democrats to get off the dime, grow a spine, and pass this thing, this is it!

    But it will take 5 years…by then others will forget his promise to leave and we will still be stuck with the “MOUTH.”

    Five years!? He could have exploded by that time having eaten so much of his own bullsh**!

    I say he leaves NOW–you know, to beat the rampage of people leaving the country as they run away from affordable health care and their lives being made better. I mean . . . errrr.

    Rush is a a bag that I think of when I dream of a summer’s eve. . . . . .

    Yes… you are right. I heard Shannyn bring this up on her Show as well today at the end of it.
    She was giving out some of the ‘ Facts ‘ about the system they use. I think she said their ‘ socialized ‘ Healthcare system had been in place for about 16 years.
    Rather than the fact that he said he would just move there… I thought it made an even BIGGER message.
    MY suggestion/idea. The people behind healthcare reform should use his words ( insert Palin Satire here ) and say…

    ” Rush SUPPORTS Socialized Healthcare”. ( THAT’s the Story ! )

    Make THAT the Headline. Taken ‘ out of context ‘… Maybe…? Who cares. But Rush does it ALL THE TIME!! Let his own words bite him in the A**.
    The story could even ‘ suggest ‘ that he is moving there FOR the Socialized Healthcare. How do we know he’s thinking??
    We’ll just be using some Glenn Beck thinking and ‘ connect the dots ‘ for the readers and tell it the way we want… based on HIS words.

    Ah, yes, I’d like to see him move to another country, preferably tomorrow, although I doubt any countries will be standing in line to get him.

    I can’t think of a better, more appropriate place for Limbaugh to go and shut his mouth then Somalia. He wants to go to Costa Rica for socialized healthcare (oxycontin), but no matter…they can have him…I just hope he doesn’t wait 5 years and I hope he’s not able to broadcast from either place! good riddens, lardhead!

    If I were a Republican and I wanted to regain control of my own party and avoid the possibility of having some day to kiss Rush’s ……. in pubic, I would seriously consider voting for healt care, just to get rid of him. Then I could go back to being a RepoNo, and take credit incase health care reform actually works well enough to earn votes for the people who did vote yes.

    mae lewisNo Gravatar says:

    Rush has some history with drugs. He sent his housekeeper out to buy oxycontin at multiple locations, in 2003. In 2006, Rush was stopped on a flight returning from the Dominican Republic, with a suitcase full of V**gra, and no prescription for his drugs.

    So, if Rush is going anywhere, we will have to look for places where he can easily obtain the medication that he takes. I’m voting for a vacation home in the DR, just based on past behavior. He may get something with a private dock, just in case the housekeeper has to run some errands at a nearby island.

    So let me get this straight: Rush will move to Costa Rico with its “socialist medicine health care” which, (from what I understand) could also put him on the “fast track” for hooking up with some “hillbilly-heroin”…..Where is the button to click to donate to get him there? (I’m seein’ this as a win-win)

    Promises, promises. But I’d be really surprised if Rush made good on that one. We can all dream. It would make the Democrats happy, and my guess is that there are a lot of Republicans that wouldn’t be sorry to see him go either.

    The problem is, though, that unless he just goes as a permanent tourist, wouldn’t any place have to agree to let him come in? I think we are back to Somalia – he’d fit right in there.

    Rush Limbaugh wants $14 million for his NYC penthouse

    NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh is saying adios to the Big Apple and selling his Fifth Avenue penthouse, asking almost $14 million.

    Limbaugh bought the 10-room condo at 1049 Fifth Ave. in 1994 under the name of R H Trust, according to city property documents. The pad sprawls across nearly 5,000 square feet and two of its terraces overlook Central Park and its famous reservoir.

    He could even shout at passersby like the Bible-thumpers in my neck of the woods; not as big of an audience as he likes… and if a mudpup just happened by and could comment in live time….wow, how long until he Would explode? Fire and rescue with hazmat training, please stand by….Naaah. Don’t think he could pick up trash and spew it at the same time…he just doesn’t look that healthy to me. sadsadsad

    We only have to post billboards wherever he is head-quartered, and where he is “housed”, embarrass him again and maybe just maybe he’ll move again.
    Finally, he can move on out of this country. But where can he go that they won’t haunt him mercilessly and where laws won’t protect him like they do here?

Limbaugh is a special kind of despicable person who is on a path to self-implosion…the sooner, the better for all of us!
