When I Came Out Here And Started The Program, I Said We Wanted To Have A Little Fun Tonight

Humor, Politics & Current Events

Unlike my friend Ken, I do not descend to cheap mockery of low-hanging fruit.  So I will not point out that the Republican Party has allowed this:

to lay claim as its standardbearer.

That said, the video, which depicts Rush Limbaugh guest-hosting "The Pat Sajak Show" before Limbaugh became nationally famous, really makes me wish I had some … well, I've seen Infra-Man multiple times, and this is almost as funny and strange as the funniest, strangest movie ever made.

Like many truly strange things, this becomes stranger the longer one observes it.  Your patience in watching through the slow build-up will, I promise, be rewarded.

    I watched the whole thing. Limbaugh made a bunch of people seem look like screaming morons. "Murderer!" "Women are dying every day!" "He wants people to die!"

    LMFAO at those buffoons. I see a master manipulator at work. He remains calm, allowing the fools to scream.

    So when does Limbaugh look bad? If anything, he looks classy when faced with juveniles, apes, and buffoons.

    Oh, and it should not surprise you, but I am not a Limbaugh guy. Other than Paul Krugman, I couldn't identify any of the "big" guys are on either side.

    Still, it seems pretty clear to me who won those exchanges. Limbaugh made all of his "adversaries" look like fools. I was in awe of his manipulation of the human refuse.

    I still remember seeing this on tv when it was broadcast. It was the first time I had heard of Rush and I found myself intrigued. To this day I can't think of anything else I've seen on television which showed such a high level of animosity between the show host and the audience.
