Rush Limbaugh spent yet another show talking about himself today (check out the orgy of self-pity taking shape on his website), and whining about his critics' attacks on his "phony soldiers" comment. He also tried to deny that he compared a VoteVets.com soldier to a suicide bomber (by insisting that he never actually used the words "suicide bomber..." OK ... riiiiight... Does this guy not know that people are recording his show? Meanwhile, Elizabeth Edwards finally uses her catty powers for good, saying on Air America today:
My classmates went to Vietnam, he did not. He was 4F. He had a medical disability, the same medical disability that probably should have stopped him from spending a lifetime in a radio announcer’s chair; but it is true, isn’t it? If he has an inoperable position that allows him not to serve, presumably it should not allow him to sit for long periods of time the way he does. I think this is a serious enough offense for the people who fund him, who buy ads and allow him to be on the air, need to be asked if this is what they really stand for, do they think it is all right for someone who has never served to denigrate the men and women who have simply because they are expressing an opinion. Frankly, I thought that is what we are fighting for. She's referring to the boil on his butt ... polynoidal cist, if you're nasty. ... You GO girl (by girl, I mean Elizabeth, not Rush...)Labels: Elizabeth Edwards, Rush Limbaugh |
